Stop, think, try, review
We are learning to use a four-step process – stop, think, try, review – to work through an everyday problem independently.
Learning Intention
We are learning to use a four-step process – stop, think, try, review – to work through an everyday problem independently.
Biblical Big Idea
Wisdom is something you can ask for, not something you are supposed to have already. Stopping to think, and asking God and trusted people, is part of growing more independent – not proof that you cannot manage.

Teacher Notes
ABOUT THIS LESSON
A four-step everyday process for working a problem out when you are on your own. The lesson helps students use a four-step process – stop, think, try, review – to work through an everyday problem independently.
TEACHING INSIGHT
Wisdom is something you can ask for, not something you are supposed to have already. Stopping to think, and asking God and trusted people, is part of growing more independent – not proof that you cannot manage.
FACILITATION FOCUS
The main application is “Step detective”, where students move from discussing the idea to trying it in a concrete example. Keep returning to the takeaway: “Stop, think, try, review – a small process you can run on your own.” Look for whether students name a cost that is about acting before noticing or planning, not just about feeling embarrassed.
