Subject:
Values Education
(1) Review
Begin the lesson by revisiting the previous discussion on actions and their effects. Ask students to share
examples of actions they took recently and the outcomes that followed. This will set the stage for the
new lesson on consequences.
(2) Motivation
Show a short video clip (3-5 minutes) that illustrates a scenario where a character makes a decision that
leads to both positive and negative consequences. After the video, ask students how they felt about the
character's choices and what they think about the outcomes.
(3) Activity
Instructions:
1. Preparation: Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students. Provide each group with a large
sheet of paper and markers.
2. Chain Reaction Creation: Each group will create a "Consequences Chain" based on a specific
action.
Step 1: Choose an action (e.g., skipping school, helping a friend, lying about homework).
Step 3: Each group will then draw a chain of consequences stemming from that action,
including both positive and negative outcomes.
Step 4: Encourage creativity; they can use drawings, symbols, or short phrases to
represent each consequence.
3. Presentation: After 20 minutes, have each group present their chain to the class, explaining the
action and its consequences.
(4) Analysis
Facilitate a class discussion on the presentations. Ask guiding questions such as:
(5) Abstraction
Summarize the key points from the activity and discussion. Highlight that every action, no matter how
small, can lead to a series of consequences that affect individuals and others around them. Emphasize
the importance of thinking ahead before making decisions.
(6) Application
"A student decides to cheat on an important exam. Initially, they feel relieved and confident about
passing the exam. However, they later face disciplinary action and damage their reputation among peers
and teachers."
(7) Assessment
1. What is a consequence?
C) A type of decision
Answer: A
A) Helping a neighbor
B) Lying to a friend
C) Ignoring a problem
Answer: A
3. True or False: All actions have consequences, whether they are intended or not.
Answer: True
Answer: B
(8) Assignment
Ask students to write a reflective essay (1-2 pages) on a time when they faced consequences for their
actions. They should describe the action, the consequences they faced, and what they learned from the
experience. Encourage them to think critically about how they could approach similar situations
differently in the future.
3. Can you think of a consequence that affected someone else because of your action?
2. Consequence Mapping: On a large whiteboard, write a central action, and have students
volunteer to add branches of consequences, creating a visual map of outcomes.
3. Decision-Making Game: Set up a game where students pick cards with different actions and
must quickly think of and share potential consequences before the timer runs out. This
encourages quick thinking and application of the lesson.
