what you would do if you were placed in each situation.
scenario 1: you have a very important science project that is due tomorrow and havent even started it yet. you plan on spending several hours tonight when you get home after practice when a friend suddenly asks you to go to a concert tonight. your friend won tickets to your favorite group and wants you to go with him. you need to get the project done because you have a d average in science right now, but you really want to go to the concert with your friend. what should you do?
define the problem a friend won tickets to a concert and he/she wants me to go with him/her but the problem is that im doing the project last minute when it is due tomorrow, causing me to have to make a decision.

1. dont go to the concert and finish the project
2. go to the concert and not get to finish the project
3. do the project at the concert
4. do the project and then go to the concert late

consider the consequences (for each option/alternative identify a positive and negative):
positive consequence negative consequence

1. project due, enjoy concert 1. no credit for project
2. enjoy concert, no project 2. sleep, poor grade
3. project complete, not as good as it wouldve been 3. credits but less because of effort
4. project done and good, have a good time at the concert 4. good grade, good sleep

decide & act
what would your decision be? do the project before the concert

Explanation:

Define the problem: The problem is a conflict between attending a concert and completing a science project due the next day.
Explore the alternatives/options: Four options are identified: not going to the concert and finishing the project; going to the concert and not finishing the project; doing the project at the concert; doing the project and then going to the concert late.
Consider the consequences: For each option, positive and negative consequences are identified. For example, for option 1 (not going to the concert and finishing the project), the positive consequence is the project is due, and the negative consequence is no credit for the project (if not done well - but this seems mis - labeled as if you finish the project you should get credit. Maybe a typo). For option 4 (doing the project and then going to the concert late), the positive consequence is the project is done well and a good time at the concert, and the negative consequence is a good grade and good sleep (this also seems a bit off - maybe the negative is missing something like missing part of the concert).
Identify your values: Two values could be academic responsibility (to complete the project) and social enjoyment (to go to the concert with a friend).
Decide & act: The decision is to do the project before the concert.

Answer:

Define the problem: Conflict between concert and project.
Explore the alternatives/options: Four options as listed.
Consider the consequences: Mixed positive and negative for each option.
Identify your values: Academic responsibility, social enjoyment.
Decide & act: Do project before concert.
