Lesson 1 teaches students how to explain their decision-making process and consider all options and factors when solving a problem . Lesson 2 asks them to identify specific problems and their impact utilizing the question, “What if?” Lessons 3 teaches students to use a thinking map to identify problems and describe the factors that contribute to the problem. Lesson 4 builds on this by guiding the students in deeper conversation, and Lesson 5 encourages students to explore possible solutions, ideas, and thoughts about problems in writing. Scripture is used throughout to guide the conversation and increase the students’ awareness.
