This Identifying Options lesson plan also includes:
"What should I do?" "How should I do it?" Middle Schoolers learn that answering these two questions is the key to solving problems. They begin with the first two steps of the Decision Making Process (gathering information and identifying as many options as possible) and then apply these steps to a problem.
