Accepting Rules and Authority: Thinking about consequences

Grades: 6th Grade, 7th Grade, 5th Grade
Subjects: Character Building, Special Education

Student Instructions

Learning Intention: Identify possible consequences for different situations. Wouldn't it be nice if everybody thought through what might happen before they did something? This lesson provides you with a few situations to consider and identify at least one consequence if they didn't stop and think first. Thinking questions: 1. What might happen if you stayed up all night and then remembered you were supposed to study for a test the next day at school? 2. What could avoid a problem like that? 3. What do "consequences" mean? 4. What would be a possible consequence of studying hard for a test? 5. Think about some things that you do at school. Can you give examples of good consequences and then bad consequences. Directions: Draw or write possible consequences for each situation. Make sure you think about the fact that not all consequences are bad, but these students are in situations where they didn't think it through first and ended up with a bad situation.
