Who are YOU? Are you always late? Are you kind? When is it okay to lie? Improve Social & Emotional Skills while ALSO Improving Reading Comprehension!

Help students learn about themselves and challenge them to become the best they can be, with these light-hearted and relevant social & emotional lessons!

Real-life scenarios and sticky social situations challenge students to learn about themselves and the consequences of various behaviors such as: always being late, being unable to forgive, being too nice, and more. They also learn the value of being honest, courageous, easy-going, generous, and optimistic. Teens and ‘Experts’ offer helpful advice through text messages and keep things light-hearted and non-threatening. A great way to improve students’ everyday social skills!

STANDARDS-BASED READING & WRITING ACTIVITIES:

Each social-skills lesson is followed by specific reading comprehension and writing activities that require complete-sentence answers. Additional activities encourage students to 'look within' and relate each scenario to themselves and their own daily actions. Finally, students decide how they might better handle each daily scenario in the future. Questions are clearly labeled with the standard/skill that it meets.
