Lesson Plan

Choice Influences Guide

Students will explore psychological and cultural factors that shape our choices, analyze real-world scenarios through readings and debate, and reflect on their own decision influences to build responsible decision-making skills.

By uncovering what drives our choices—emotions, perceptions, and cultural norms—students gain self-awareness and empathy, fostering thoughtful and ethical decisions in daily life.
