Immediate And Possible Effects

Worksheet Description

The “Effects of My Decisions” worksheet is an educational tool designed to help students critically evaluate their decision-making process. It guides them through the exercise of reflecting on a recent decision, considering the alternatives they weighed, and examining the immediate and potential long-term impacts of their choice. By prompting such analysis, the worksheet encourages students to think more deeply about the consequences of their actions and to learn from their experiences.

In the first section, students are asked to identify a decision they made within the week and to articulate what other options they considered before making their choice. This step fosters awareness of the decision-making process and the importance of considering various possibilities. The second part requires students to list the immediate effects of the decision and to contemplate the possible future implications, allowing them to see the broader context of their actions. Finally, students are invited to assess the quality of their decision by explaining their rationale behind deeming it good or poor. This reflective practice not only enhances students’ decision-making skills but also contributes to their personal development and responsibility.
