V. Valuing
At this point, I want you to listen carefully and anticipate in the situation of the content
I am going to read. After I read the text, I would like to hear some of your possible
solutions or decision you want to suggest to our friend who needs our help. (The
teacher will relate the text to the decision making that is seen in the lesson when the
Trojan opted to accept the wooden horse after the students share their insights. The
text will be read is written below.)
Richard’s brother dies, Richard is asked to take custody of the brother’s small
daughters. Richard loves his nieces and feels a responsibility to take care of them but
Richard’s spouse name Anne, who has never wanted children, disagrees. It seems
that Richard will have to choose between the children and his marriage. What shall he
do?
If you are in the position of Richard, what decision will you make? Richard also placed
in a difficult situation similar on what Trojans experienced. It was seen when they are
making decision regarding if they will let in the wooden horse inside the city of Troy.
We all know that the decision they made, resulted in the fall of Troy. In real life, every
day we face decision making and deciding is really hard to do but remember that in
making decisions, you should weight the both sides, for you to make sure you opt the
right decision.
