Brightstorm - Session 7 - Compare
English Resource Description
In Session 7 of Brightstorm, Arthur and Maudie are faced with a decision-making task that involves evaluating two different offers presented to them by Harriet and Eudora. The activity is designed to encourage critical thinking by comparing and contrasting the offers, taking into consideration the various advantages and disadvantages associated with each proposal. Students are prompted to analyse the details of the offers carefully and weigh the benefits against the potential drawbacks.
The comparison exercise is structured to help students develop their evaluative skills and to enhance their ability to make informed choices. They are asked to look beyond the surface and consider the long-term implications of each offer. This task is not only about determining which offer is 'the best' on paper but also about understanding the nuances and consequences that each option may entail. By thinking critically about Harriet's and Eudora's offers, Arthur and Maudie, along with the students, can practise decision-making strategies that are vital in both academic and real-world scenarios.
