REVIEW Values-Based Decisions

Essential Question: What influences our decisions?
What should we make decisions based on?

Objective: Thinking about values & how one value could be pitted against another!

🔔 Bell Ringer: Let's have a chit chat

1. The "Found Money" Scenario

The Question: "You find a wallet on the school hallway floor. Inside is $50 and a student ID of someone you know is a 'bully' and has plenty of money. Do you return it with the cash, return it empty, or leave it there? Why?"

2. The "Friendship vs. Rules" Dilemma

The Question: "Your best friend tells you they cheated on the final exam to pass the class. If they get caught, they’ll be kicked off the sports team. The teacher asks the class if anyone knows anything about cheating. Do you stay silent or speak up?"

3. The "Group Project" Dilemma

The Question: "You are the leader of a group project worth 40% of your grade. One teammate has done zero work because they are dealing with a difficult situation at home. If you tell the teacher, they fail the class. If you don't tell the teacher, you have to do all their work yourself, and they get an 'A' they didn't earn. What do you do?"

4. The "Social Media Secret" (Modern Context)

The Question: "You see a post on a 'Burn Page' or anonymous gossip account that is making fun of a classmate. You know exactly who created the account—it’s your friend. The victim is crying in the bathroom. Do you report the account to the school, or do you stay out of it to protect your friend's secret?"
