Considering Options

Worksheet Description

The Decision Making worksheet is an educational resource that assists students in the process of making well-considered choices. At the top of the worksheet, students are prompted to clearly state the decision that needs to be made, setting the stage for a focused evaluation. The worksheet then provides a structured format for students to explore two different options regarding that decision, with a dedicated space to list the pros and cons of each alternative. This comparative analysis is crucial for weighing the potential outcomes and implications of each option.

In the first section, students are asked to think critically about the advantages (pros) and disadvantages (cons) associated with their first option. This encourages them to look at the situation from multiple angles and consider a wide range of factors. The second section mirrors this approach for a second option, allowing students to directly compare the two choices side by side. Through this exercise, students can gain insights into their values and priorities, which can lead to more informed and thoughtful decision-making. The goal is to foster a deliberate and reflective approach to decisions, which is an essential skill for academic and personal success.
