Unit+2

Unit 2 presents the tenets of decision-making and incorporates the concept of values into making decisions; it also continues the discussion of risk. Teens may receive advice from teachers, friends, family, or the media (such as magazines) on how to deal with dilemmas, but rarely do they see decision-making as a method or skill. Solidifying this skill by practicing it daily will serve your students well as they progress through their life and academic careers. With the continuing increase in their independence, teenagers' decisions reflect more of who they are and what's important to them than even those they had control over in middle school. This unit helps them examine how their decisions reflect not just what they like but also what they value. For example, a seemingly simple decision to go to a movie with friends might have an unexpected consequence if it results in the student not being ready for the next day's test.
