Panorama Ed suggests the POOCH protocol for making decisions. This method could be used to practice making decisions in your class. As a class, students can brainstorm common problems that happen within their age group. Then, in groups, students can choose a problem and complete the POOCH chart on their assigned Google Slide. I recommend making one copy and giving students access to edit as a class. Then, the slide presentation becomes a resource for ways to solve common problems that students might face.

Advice columns were once a common part of magazines. This feature can serve as a model for anonymous peer-to-peer advice. As a class, brainstorm a list of problems facing students in their grade level. Have students pick a problem and write an "advice letter" to someone who might be having that issue, advising them of what they should do. A good strategy might be examining current advice columns shared on popular websites. Give students their own copy of a blank slide and tell them to compose their letter. Then, after reviewing the letters, you can copy/paste all their work into one big slide presentation. Post it on Google Classroom so students can refer back to it anonymously if they're seeking advice.

"What would you do?" requires students to look at different obstacle cards to read about a specific problem. Then, they must decide how they would respond to the situation. On a Jamboard, add a different obstacle to each slide. Read the prompt aloud to students and give them a few minutes to silently reflect on a sticky note. When time is up, lead students in a discussion about the obstacle. Students can volunteer to share their perspectives and explain their thinking. It's important to remind students that you're not looking for one answer. There can be a variety of responses and reactions.
