Flowchart

A flowchart describes the process for making a decision. It's used by computer programmers, but people call also use them to describe their own decision making process.

​

Here's one I made to show how I decide whether to take the tollway to work or the freeway.

​

Before you start, plan out your chart on a piece of paper. On the Google Slide, click file, page setup, custom, and set your page dimensions to 8.5 x 11.

​

You can use the Insert menu or the top toolbar to add shapes and arrows.

​

Here's a cool one for choosing a book to read.

​

Mine asks three questions if I count the first one. Yours should too.

​

It can be over any question related to your life: What should I eat for dinner? Should I go for a run today? Which TV show will I watch?

​

Give it some thought, put it on paper, show it to me, and if I approve, make your Google Slide.

​

This is the district's official checklist. There's nothing special to it.
