The takeaway from a lesson plan on decision-making is that the more significant the consequences, the more complex the decision. Class members brainstorm a list of factors they consider when making decisions and then create a flow chart of the steps involved. The class then begins a "Fallout Shelter" simulation that continues throughout the module.
