Activity Overview
Students may not be thinking about the consequences of their actions at all times. This activity is a great opportunity for students to think, "consequence first". The students will create a chart that depicts both a refusal and a "give in" to the same pressure. The give in will show the negative consequences of their actions. The refusal will show the positive outcome of refusing to give into peer pressure. The refusal could be any kind discussed earlier in the previous activities.
Give In
The give in is when the victim falls for the peer pressure.
Light Modifications:
Lower Level: Use the first cell from the example storyboard, but leave the other cells blank and ask the students to continue the story.

| Proficient | Emerging | Beginning | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peer Pressure, Successful Refusal and Unsuccessful Refusal | There is a clear peer pressure with a distinction between successful refusal and the give in. | Either the peer pressure was unclear or the refusal/give in was not shown. | Neither the peer pressure and responses were correctly shown. |
| Positive Consequences | After the successful refusal there is a positive outcome from refusing negative peer pressure. | The positive consequence is not justifying the importance of the refusal. | After the successful refusal there is no positive outcome from refusing negative peer pressure. |
| Negative Consequences | After the character gives into the peer pressure, there is a negative outcome outcome from giving into peer pressure. | The negative consequence is not justifying the importance of the refusal. | After the character gives into the peer pressure, there is no negative outcome from giving into peer pressure. |
| Conventions | There are few to no grammar or spelling mistakes. | There are some grammar or spelling mistakes, but understanding of refusal is clear. | There are too many grammar or spelling mistakes, creating an unclear understanding of content. |
