Peer Pressure vs. Personal Choice

Introduce the topic of peer pressure vs. personal choice. Highlight that sometimes external pressures and internal desires lead to different types of decisions. Ask students for examples from movies or books where characters face these dilemmas.

Understanding Peer Pressure

Present simple definitions on the slide. Emphasize that peer pressure can be both overt and subtle. Encourage students to consider how they might feel in similar situations.

Understanding Personal Choice

Follow up with personal choice. Ask the students to reflect on what motives drive their decisions and how they can remain true to their values.

Scenario Analysis

Display relatable scenarios that help illustrate the difference. Ask students whether they would make the same decision under peer pressure or if their decision would stand independently.

Reflect & Act

Conclude with reflective questions. Encourage students to write in their Personal Reflection Journal and discuss as a class.
