Doing It Or Not

Worksheet Description

This Decision Making worksheet is a straightforward tool designed to help students think critically about the consequences of their actions. At the top of the sheet, there is space for students to define the situation that requires a decision, clarifying the context for their thought process. Below, the worksheet is divided into two large columns, “DO IT” and “DON’T DO IT,” each with further subdivisions for “PROs” and “CONs.” This layout prompts students to consider the positive and negative aspects of taking action versus opting for inaction.

The worksheet encourages students to deliberate on the potential outcomes of their choices methodically. By comparing the advantages of acting against the advantages of not acting—and the corresponding disadvantages—students are better equipped to make balanced decisions. This exercise not only assists them in evaluating the immediate implications of their choices but also in considering the broader effects of their actions. Consequently, this worksheet is an invaluable resource for teaching decision-making skills that students can apply in various aspects of their academic and personal lives.
