Puzzle Piece Model for Decision-Making

Welcome! Today we'll introduce the Puzzle Piece Model for decision-making. Explain that each slide will help us break down choices into steps and anticipate outcomes.

Lesson Agenda

Review our agenda: understanding the model, labeling pieces, seeing an example, and then you’ll get a blank template to try yourself.

The Three Puzzle Pieces

Introduce each puzzle piece: what it represents and why it matters in decision-making.

Example Scenario

Walk through this scenario together. Show how selecting an after-school activity leads to an action and result.

Your Turn: Blank Template

Distribute this blank visual. Encourage the student to write or draw their own three pieces for a personal decision.

Next Steps
