    The shipwrecked Sailors scenario is excellent in helping young tens improve and think about their decision making skills. I would like to see another scenario using a situation involving in an suburban or urban setting.

    I teach junior level high school, and they were able to process and begin good discussions about the distinction between legality and morality. I plan to have them do a Socratic Seminar to further develop their thinking.

    I like how easy to use this sheet is. Provides ample detail, while remaining open-ended and able to use as a stand-alone or multi-day extender.
