Description
The perfect reading and analysis activity on the Executive Functioning! Have your students learn about the concept of Willpower and how Decision Fatigue can affect our choices.
High school students need executive functioning skills for all kinds of school and personal tasks, such as prioritizing responsibilities and using time effectively, studying and completing assignments, following through on commitments, and making healthy choices. With this package (and series), students gain an understanding of what executive functioning really means by breaking down the different skills and mindsets that make it up.
A study by the National Academy of Sciences found that the time of day and tiredness can impact judicial decisions, with judges becoming less likely to grant a criminal parole as the day wears on. Willpower, it turns out, is like a muscle that can get tired from overuse (too much decision making) in a phenomenon known as “decision fatigue”. Students learn about the concept, and then apply it to themselves and your school!
Perfect for in-class, at home, or emergency sub lesson plans!
