B. Create original works as a means of personal or group expression || What steps should I take to ensure that I am making wise choices? || || Internet [|www.prezi.com] Karate Kid Movie || (Artifact: link to real world, website, book, picture, etc.) || Every day we are faced with choices. Some choices, like what do we want to eat for breakfast, or what we are going to wear to school are easy decisions we make several of those types of questions every day. However, sometimes we are faced with a situation that we just aren’t sure what to do. Such as a bullying situation like we have been talking about the last few days. Today we are going to watch a great movie. Possibly you have seen it. It is called Karate Kid. The character Danny Laruso, had to deal with some pretty tough situations. Let’s see what he does to resolve his conflicts. || (Factual information/Vocab Includes sample feedback loop) || Making decisions is like talking a walk. We start at a particular place. Once we know where we want to go-Our goal- we realize there are several ways to get there. We choose a safe path and start walking. As long as we keep in mind Where we want to go and how we want to get there we can usually find a way to reach our goal. If we didn’t stop and make a plan on how to get to where we needed to go, what do you think could possibly happen? Making a hard decision can at times seem very difficult but I am going to teach you four easy steps you can take to make the process much easier. W.I.S.E. When you are trying to make a decision I want you to remember the word wise. W. What is the situation, and what is the best goal? I. Ideas to think about. S. Select the best idea and act E. Evaluate what happened. Was what I did helpful? Would I do it again? Let’s practice these steps by talking about a person your age who needs to decide what to do. Please listen while I describe the situation, and then we’ll talk about how to apply these steps. Ashley’s neighbor, Mr. Jarvis, offered to pay Ashley if she would help him clean up his yard on Saturday. She said yes. But then Tyler, Ashley’s best friend, asked her to go to a soccer game with his family on Saturday. Ashley really wanted to go. She always had a lot of fun with Tyler’s family. However, Ashley had promised to help Mr. Jarvis that same Saturday. Now let us look at each of the steps to help Ashley make the best choice. Step One. W. What is the situation, and what is the best goal? The situation is that Ashley wants to go to the soccer game with Tyler but already promised Mr. Jarvis she would help him that day. Step Two. I Ideas to think about. (what are her options) Here are a couple ideas, but how can we know for sure which one is the WISE decision. Go through your list and ask yourself these 5 question If you answer Yes to a question, go on to the next one. If you answer yes than it is a possible solution. If you answer No to a question that idea doesn’t pass the test. You should cross that idea off your list and focus on only the Yes ideas. Which option do you think Ashley should choose based on those questions? Step 3. S Choose and put your idea into action. Step 4. E Evaluate your outcome. So boys and girls, next time you need to make a tough decision, you have the tools to help you make the best decision. Remember to stop and think about… (Includes multiple intelligence strategy: Hands-on, small groups, reteaching strategy) || Students will be working on the internet website [|http://prezi.com] to create a prezi-tation on the W.I.S.E. decision making process.
