*******************************

Most students have cell phones and regularly communicate with family, friends, and classmates through text messaging. Nearly all students are familiar with this form of communication. Why not teach and practice social skills in a way that resonates with their interests? By using text messaging, students can recognize what effective social skills look and sound like—and what they don’t! These activities will engage students in a fun and relatable way, and no student will be able to resist participating!

This resource includes 10 text message conversations, each offered in three variations to support differentiation, for a total of 30 worksheets. Additionally, the zip file contains a BONUS text messaging resource, featuring one text message conversation in multiple variations, along with an Answer Key.

Text Message Conversation Variation Worksheet Details:

1. Worksheet #1: Contains two questions that are suitable for lower-level students. (These questions ask students to determine if the person has good social skills and support their answer with evidence. The second question asks students to think about how they would respond if they were in the same situation or similar to that.)

2. Worksheet #2: Contains two questions that are suitable for higher-level students. These types of questions are more inference-based and challenge students to think critically about the situation and individuals.

3. **Worksheet #3: **A plain worksheet that only includes the text message conversation (in which you can generate your OWN question). This worksheet contains a box in which students can write the question you generate / or copy a question from the board.

☆☆☆ There are a total of 10 Text Message Conversations in THREE variations.

*******************************

Below are some sample questions (included in the worksheets) for Lower-level students (to help you decide if this resource is suitable for your students):

• Does Jen have good social skills? Explain your answer and support it with evidence.
• How would you have responded to your friend in this situation if you felt a little jealous?

For the SAME text message conversation, some sample questions (included in the worksheets) for Higher-level students include:

• Analyze this text conversation. Why do you think Jen decided to apologize to Cara for being hurtful? Explain your answer and support it with evidence.
• How do you think Jen should have handled her emotions the moment she felt jealous (instead of being hurtful)?

*******************************

This resource is incredibly effective for struggling readers and writers, particularly those with short attention spans or difficulty maintaining focus during longer texts.

The text message conversations are age-appropriate, highly relevant, familiar, and fun! Students will easily connect with the characters involved in these exchanges. It will be fascinating to observe what students infer from these conversations and how they might respond in similar situations. To extend the activity, consider having students read the texts aloud so they can "hear" examples of strong social skills and recognize what poor communication sounds like.

These Social Skills Text Message Conversation Worksheets can be used in a variety of settings, including as part of a larger lesson, during a mini lesson, or as guided practice. They are also ideal for independent work, pair or group activities, small group discussions, and even for homework or additional practice!

Teach your students to effectively Self-Advocate At SCHOOL with this Self-Advocacy At School Life Skills Problem Solving Scenarios for Older Students Expansion Pack.

Pair these School Self-Advocacy Problem Solving Scenario Cards with

Self-Advocacy Skills + Life Skills Problem Solving Scenarios for Older Students - students will learn the necessary foundational skills of speaking up and become confident and effective self-advocates in any setting with any communication partner.

I work on improving self-advocacy skills daily with my high school students. My goal is to improve their executive functioning skills to foster independence problem solving and advocating for themselves to get the help they need.

I wanted a way to help them not only learn to self-advocate in life, but to speak up effectively at school, as they currently spend a large majority of their lives at school. They can then carry the skills they learn at school into their futures.

Many of my students have learned to express themselves over the years, but are vague in their expression and forget to include enough detail. They haven't quite mastered what to say in different situations to ask for help and inform others exactly what they need. This leaves others confused and the students' needs unmet.

This Self-Advocacy Formula + Template breaks speaking up into 3 simple and easy-to-follow steps. Students will learn to self-advocate in any problem solving situation in a variety of school settings with a variety of people with confidence.

This Self-Advocacy At School Expansion Pack includes:

- A Color and a B&W version

- Mini-lesson/Self-Advocacy Formula

- Self-Advocacy Formula Template (Use as a guide when figuring out what to say in each situation).

- Examples to model effective use of the self-advocacy formula and the template

- 40 School Self-Advocacy Problem Solving Scenario Cards to practice using the self-advocacy formula at school

* Printable and has been designed to easily be used digitally on any interactive whiteboard or with any digital annotation tool or app.

I am seeing significant improvement in my own students now that they are using this self-advocacy formula. Breaking it down into its parts and then practicing expressing themselves with detail is getting much easier for them and giving them more confidence in classes and with teachers, school staff, and classmates! I hope it does the same for your students!

Thank you for your interest! Enjoy!

**********************************************************************************************************

In this generation, teens have developed their own language based on what is happening in teen culture. Slang words are unconsciously used in our everyday language by students in all grades, and even by teachers, and will continue to evolve faster than we know! – Word!

Many people identify slang as being “street.” In that case, students can be “street” and STILL HAVE SOCIAL SKILLS!

This resource is centered around 28 HIGHLY RELEVANT social skills scenarios using SLANG WORDS**. (That's right! It's time to get down with your kids! They will think you are the BOMB.COM!)** Students are asked to read scenarios (in their own created "slang" language) and think about how they can respectfully handle certain situations.

*************************************************************************************************************

The scenarios feature 7 different topics, FOUR scenarios for each of the following topics:

• Dealing with HATERS
• Dealing with BULLIES
• Dealing with LIARS
• Dealing with SNITCHES
• Dealing with BACKSTABBERS
• Dealing with PARTNERS
• Dealing with NEGATIVE PEOPLE

*************************************************************************************************************

The scenarios encourage students to think about and practice how to:

• have difficult conversations with the very people they spend a great deal of time with
• build confidence in managing their anger and emotions
• handle challenging situations with a sense of maturity
• improve social skills and behavior
• brainstorm coping skills
• evaluate best solutions in different situations

This resource features (and is centered around) 28 REAL-LIFE, student-inspired, social skills scenarios/situations that teens and young adults experience daily in school and out of school. Students read the scenarios and write, discuss, or create role-plays/skits on how to maturely handle difficult situations despite feelings of anger, jealousy, betrayal, etc.

*************************************************************************************************************

How/When To Use the Scenario Task Cards

• Role-Playing: Students can collaborate in pairs or groups to act out a variety of scenarios and demonstrate appropriate responses. Role-playing activities can also be used to show how skills are used improperly and then asking the 'audience' to help reenact properly. This activity can ultimately improve confidence, communication, and assertiveness skills.
• Icebreaker: This can be a great way to start a meeting, training session, or team-building activity. It’s also a great way to get students to get to know each other and buy into the purpose of an upcoming activity or lesson.
• Play Writing Exercise: Students can work in groups to create skits or scenes then perform the skit for the class.
• Writing Response: Students can be given a scenario to read and then write their responses. Students can switch papers with a partner who then reads their responses and determines whether they agree/disagree with their responses/approaches to these real-life scenarios.
• Discussion: Students can discuss the Scenario Task Cards in groups or whole class. They can discuss things like “What would you do?”, "How can your respectfully handle this situation," “Why would you do that?”, and “What are some other options you could consider?”

Teach your older students to effectively self-advocate in any setting or situation with this Self-Advocacy Life Skills Worksheet Activities and Social Problem Solving Scenarios Lesson.

I am a high school speech language therapist in a special education school. I work with many students who find social emotional learning and executive functioning skills challenging. One way we tackle this is by practicing self-advocacy skills. My goal is to foster independence speaking up and advocating for themselves to get the help they need in all settings.

I wanted a way to help them not only learn to self-advocate, but to do it effectively. Many of my students have learned to express themselves over the years, but are vague in their expression and forget to include enough detail. They haven't quite mastered what to say in different situations to ask for help and inform others exactly what they need. This leaves others confused and the students' needs unmet.

This self-advocacy lesson breaks speaking up into a simple and easy-to-follow self-advocacy formula. Students will quickly learn the 3 steps of the formula and be able to:

- Understand self-advocacy and locate self-advocacy details within various statements and questions.

- Discriminate between self-advocacy statements/questions that are effective
and detailed/specific and those that are too vague and do not tell others what you need and how they can help you.

- Apply this self-advocacy formula to various problem solving scenarios at home, school, work, and in the community. Students will learn to problem solve what to say in various functional situations and settings.

This lesson/activity includes:

- A Color and a B&W version

- Mini-lesson/Self-Advocacy Formula

- Many examples to model effective use of the self-advocacy formula

- Worksheets to understand and recognize effective self-advocacy

- Scenarios to practice using the self-advocacy formula - written tasks and role play scenario cards included

- Self-Advocacy Formula Template

- Printable and has been designed to easily be used digitally on any interactive whiteboard with any digital annotation tool or app.

I am seeing significant improvement in my own students now that they are using this self-advocacy formula. Breaking it down into its parts and then practicing expressing themselves with detail is getting much easier for them! I hope it does the same for your students!

Thank you for your interest! Enjoy!

Self-Advocacy + Life Skills Social Problem Solving Scenarios for Older Students - students will learn the necessary foundational skills of speaking up and become confident and effective self-advocates in any setting with any communication partner.

I work on improving self-advocacy skills daily with my high school students. My goal is to improve their executive functioning skills to foster independence problem solving and advocating for themselves to get the help they need.

I wanted a way to help them not only learn to self-advocate in life, but to speak up effectively at home. As teachers and therapists, we often focus on school, community, and job skills, because that's what we have access to within the school setting through special programs and the curriculum. However, we frequently hear from families that their children are struggling at home. Often, improved communication, self-advocacy skills, and problem solving skills in the home setting would significantly benefit these children and their families. This Self-Advocacy At HOME resource will help your students effectively and respectfully navigate sensitive situations using self-advocacy and problem solving skills with those closest them (e.g., family, relatives, friends, neighbors, etc.)

Many of my students have learned to express themselves over the years, but are vague in their expression and forget to include enough detail. They haven't quite mastered what to say in different situations to ask for help and inform others exactly what they need. This leaves others confused and the students' needs unmet.

This Self-Advocacy Formula + Template breaks speaking up into 3 simple and easy-to-follow steps. Students will learn to self-advocate in any problem solving situation at home with family, friends, and neighbors with confidence.
