If you have not finished your assignment on Monday about wellness, please do so.

When you have finished, you can start the DECIDE assignment.

When you are faced with a decision, you can use the decide model. The attached powerpoint describes what each step is. Use that model to write out the steps that you would use when faced with a decision concerning a legal or illegal substance.

D - what is the issue at hand? Getting in a car with someone who has been drinking? Trying a new energy drink?

E - explore the options - what are all of the possible options (include both negative and positive options)

C - are there any other alternatives to the situation?

I - identify possible soltions that would work for you. If you're at a party at a camp, is calling a taxi a viable option?

D - decide and take action. Pick one of the possible choices

E - evaluate and revise - did it work? would you do something different next time?

You can write a story showing what you'd do, make a powerpoint, etc to show your decision-making process. Slide 4 has some possible scenarios that you can use.
