Managing Influences and Making Decisions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

  • ‘What’s It To Do With Me?’ (Activity 1)
  • Prompt Questions (Activity 2)
  • Willpower Statements Cards (Activity 4)
  • Join to access all included materials

Does patience help people become more responsible? Class members explore the topic with a What's It To Do With Me? quiz to assess their personal responsibilities. They engage in a whole-class discussion about pros and cons of instant gratification, and then reflect in their journals about personal immediacy dilemmas.
