Applying the Decision Making Model to Scenarios
� Choose 1 scenario from below and apply the decision making model to determine your response:� Drunk Driver: You’re at a party, but the friend who was supposed to give you a ride home is drunk or drugged. She insists that she’s fine and tells you to get in. You know getting in the car with her would put your life at risk – and hers – but you don’t want to make a big scene.
� Off Campus High: On your way to lunch, a guy or girl you like suggests � Off Campus High: On your way to lunch, a guy or girl you like suggests that you leave campus to get high. You really like this person and don’t want to embarrass yourself. But you also don’t want to get high.
� Acceptance: Your family moved here in the middle of the school year from out of state. You connect with a group of students who live in your neighborhood. They seem cool and even stick up for you at school, but one day the leader of the group says you have to fight the toughest kid in order to continue hanging out with them.
� Write down your answers on your handout
� Get into groups based on the scenarios you choose to compare your answers
