Session 1 Reflection Rubric

This rubric will help evaluate how thoughtfully you reflect on your choices and how clearly you set a personal goal based on your insights.

Scoring range per criterion: 1–4 points. Total possible: 8 points.

Use your score to identify areas for deeper thinking and to refine your goal before our next session.

Session 1 Discussion Prompts

Discussion Guidelines

• Speak openly and honestly.
• Listen carefully to each question before answering.
• It’s okay to pause—take your time to think before you respond.

1. Warm-Up: Defining Key Concepts

1. Look at the Choices vs Consequences Definition Chart.
2. In your own words, what is a choice?
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. What is a consequence?
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Share one everyday example of a choice and its consequence.

Follow-Up Questions:

• How did you feel about that outcome?
• Could you have made a different choice?

2. Exploring Scenarios Together

Use the Session 1 Scenarios Worksheet to guide this part.

Scenario Analysis Steps:

1. Read the scenario aloud.
2. Identify the choice made.
3. Describe the consequence that followed.
4. Think of an alternative choice and predict a different outcome.

Discussion Prompts for Each Scenario:

• What was the main choice the person made?
• Why do you think they made that choice?
• What immediate consequence did they face?
• If you were in their shoes, what might you have done differently?
• How could that new choice change what happens next?

3. Deeper Thinking

Pick one scenario that stood out to you and think more deeply:

• What emotions do you imagine the person felt after their choice?
• What influences (friends, rules, time pressure) affected that decision?
• How might noticing those influences help you when making your own choices?

4. Personal Reflection

Use your journal, notebook, or a fresh sheet of paper to respond.

1. Recall a choice you recently made at school or at home.
   • What was the choice?
     
     
     
     
     
     
   • What was the outcome or consequence?
     
     
     
     
     
     
2. Reflect on your expectations vs. reality:
   • Did you expect that outcome? Why or why not?
     
     
     
     
     
     
   • What influenced you to make that choice (feelings, advice, time)?
     
     
     
     
     
     
3. Learn from the experience:
   • What did you learn about how choices lead to consequences?
     
     
     
     
     
     
   • How might you decide differently next time?

5. Goal-Setting Conversation

Let’s turn your reflections into a plan:

1. Based on what you wrote, set one specific goal for an upcoming choice.
   • Example: “I will raise my hand before speaking in class.”
     
     
     
     
     
     
2. Explain how this goal connects to your reflection.
3. Identify one action you’ll take to stick to your goal (e.g., pausing for 5 seconds before deciding).
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. How will you remind yourself of this goal each day?

Follow-Up Questions:

• What challenges might come up?
• How will you handle them?
• Who could support you in meeting this goal?

End of Discussion
Take a moment to summarize one new insight you gained today.
Write it down and keep it in your journal to revisit before Session 2.

Session 2 Decision Tree Worksheet

Instructions: Use the five-step decision-making process to work through the guided scenario below, then apply the same steps to a choice of your own.

Session 3 Role-Play Scenarios Worksheet

Instructions: In each scenario below, one person will play the role of a student facing an unexpected consequence, and the other will use a response strategy from the Consequence Response Strategy Chart to help. After each role-play, record the strategy used and reflect on its effectiveness.

Scenario 1: Missing Materials

Situation: Alex arrives at class ready to present a project but realizes they forgot their poster at home. The teacher asks why they don’t have their materials.

1. Assign Roles:
   • Person A: Alex (student without materials)
   • Person B: Supporter (peers/teacher using response strategy)
2. Role-Play:
   • Person B chooses a response strategy (e.g., seek support, reflect on choice, revise plan).
   • Act out how Person B helps Alex respond to the teacher and plan next steps.
3. Debrief:

Which response strategy did you use?

How did this strategy help Alex address the consequence?

What could Alex do next time to prevent this situation?

Scenario 2: Hurt Feelings from a Comment

Situation: Jordan made a joke in class that upset a friend, and the friend walked away looking hurt. The teacher and classmates noticed.

1. Assign Roles:
   • Person A: Jordan (student who made the joke)
   • Person B: Supporter (peer/teacher using response strategy)
2. Role-Play:
   • Person B selects a response strategy (e.g., set follow-up steps, seek support, revise your plan).
   • Act out how Person B guides Jordan to respond to the friend and repair the relationship.
3. Debrief:

Which response strategy did you use?

How effective was this strategy in resolving the issue?

What action can Jordan take to rebuild trust with their friend?

Next Step: Use your notes from these role-plays to help you complete the Session 3 Action Plan Template with a real situation you might face and the strategy you will use to respond.
