The full specification below is extracted from Chapter 8: Communication And Goals.
Type: microsim
**sim-id:** what-matters-most-right-now<br/>
**Library:** vis-network<br/>
**Status:** Specified
Bloom Taxonomy: Evaluate (L5)
Bloom Taxonomy Verb: prioritize, judge, justify
Learning objective: Students prioritize which health topics from across the book feel most personally relevant right now and justify their choice in a short reflection.
Purpose: Give students a concrete way to connect the whole book's topics back to their own life and choose where to focus next, tying together every strand covered this year.
Layout: A radial node map with "Me" in the center and eight surrounding topic nodes drawn from the book's strands — Food Choices, Growth and Changing Bodies, Feelings and Coping, Physical Activity, Safety Habits, Friendships and Respect, Communication Skills, Personal Health Goals.
Interactive features: Drag any topic node closer to "Me" to mark it as more relevant right now, or farther away to mark it as less relevant currently. Clicking a node reveals a one-sentence reminder of what that topic covers. A "Save My Top Choice" button lets the student type a short reason their closest topic matters most right now.
Visual styling: Warm, friendly palette matching earlier chapter diagrams; simple circular icons, no realistic depictions of people.
Implementation: vis-network with draggable nodes and a simple text-reflection field; responsive layout for narrower screens.
