Define And Decide

Worksheet Description

The “Deciding to Forgive” worksheet is an educational resource that prompts students to engage deeply with the concept of forgiveness. This tool begins with a personal question, asking students to define forgiveness in their own words, which encourages self-reflection and individual understanding. The personal touch is further established by providing a space at the top for the student to write their name, thereby endorsing the introspective nature of the exercise.

Below the initial question, the worksheet provides a structured format for analyzing the decision to forgive. It prompts students to weigh the pros and cons of forgiving someone who has wronged them, offering two boxes for listing these considerations side by side. This comparative approach helps students to consider forgiveness from a multifaceted perspective, recognizing the complexity of emotional responses and the impact of their decisions on personal well-being. At the bottom, there is a section for students to speculate on potential changes in their life if they choose to forgive, helping them to visualize the outcomes of their choice. By breaking down the decision-making process, the worksheet supports students in making informed, empathetic, and constructive choices about forgiveness.
