Between Two Options

Worksheet Description

This worksheet, titled “PROs and CONs,” is a decision-making aid that prompts students to analyze their choices by listing the advantages and disadvantages of each. The top of the worksheet provides a space for the student to write their name and below that, a section to specify the two options they are considering. The main body of the worksheet is divided into four large boxes for each option—two for listing the pros and two for the cons. This visual arrangement helps students organize their thoughts and compare the positive and negative aspects of each option side by side.

At the bottom of the worksheet, there’s a question, “What do you think you will do?” which encourages students to make a decision after considering the information they have laid out. The worksheet features a check mark and an X mark between the boxes, symbolically guiding students toward weighing their options and reaching a conclusion. This tool is excellent for use in a classroom setting or for personal decision-making, helping students to think critically about their choices and to practice the important skill of evaluative thinking.
