Learning Outcomes

By completing this task students will be able to:

• Identify the consequences of good and poor choices.

Preparation and Materials

• “The three little pigs” story (you can obtain he book from the library.

• You also may want props so that the students can act out the story in a role play.

Method

1. Begin by saying, “Today we are going to hear a very familiar story; one I believe you will enjoy. As you listen to the story, think about the choices (explain or ask your students for a definition of choices) made by each of the three little pigs and what happened because of their choices. Our story is the “Three Little Pigs.”

2. Read the story to your students (or have the students read it) and then have the students act out the story. Possibly in their own version.

3. Discuss the choices made by the pigs and elicit from your students other examples of choices that the three pigs could have made. Try and relate these examples to their everyday life.

4. Examples include:

• Working hard in class.

• Bullying a friend.

• Helping people.

5. Discuss the reasons for their choices. Emphasis the need for thoughtful choices, decisions, planning, and wise use of time in good problem solving.

Closure

Close the session by asking: “which pig made the best decision? How do you know? What happened to the pigs that made a poor decision? What are some new ideas you have learned about making decisions (choices)? Who can tell us about a good decision they have made today?”

“We’ve learned today that sometimes we make poor choices like the pigs who built their houses of straw and wood. It takes good planning and thought to make a wise decision. Are you known as one who makes wise decisions? What is the difference between a wise and a poor decision? Who has to live with the outcome of a poor decision?
