Teens today are constantly connected through their cell phones, with texting being one of the primary ways they communicate. While texting makes it easy to stay in touch, it also comes with challenges, as tone and intent can often be misunderstood without face-to-face interaction. Developing strong social skills for texting is essential to ensure that messages are clear, respectful, and considerate of others' feelings. By practicing thoughtful communication, teens can navigate social situations more effectively and avoid unnecessary conflicts or misunderstandings.

This resource features 20 different text conversations designed to help students develop their communication and social skills. Each conversation comes in two versions:

★ Without background information for students ready to respond on their own.

★ With background information included at the bottom of the worksheet to provide additional context and support for thoughtful responses.

The background information is great for students who need extra help understanding the situation and encourages them to respond while considering others' feelings and social dynamics. This format makes it easy to differentiate and meet students' individual needs.

Sample responses are included to support teachers in guiding discussions and providing examples for students.

This worksheet is perfect for practicing empathy, improving social skills, and learning how to handle everyday interactions with care and thoughtfulness.

Lately, upsetting things have been happening in the world and the COVID-19 Pandemic is certainly one of them. Our students are very much affected emotionally, physically, and mentally by them. This mini COVID-19 Packet provides students an opportunity to reflect on their experiences during this pandemic and most importantly practice and learn new ways to cope with the challenges they are facing.

This resource features 4 Activity Worksheets and ANSWER KEYS with BREATH-TAKING diverse graphics that are a clear representation of them, 8 COVID-19 Scenario Task Cards (that come in four variations), 8 Scenario Worksheets, and 3 POSTERS (same Poster in 3 variations) that can help spark some deep conversations among students as well as the reality of their situations. Without a doubt, this resource will give students an opportunity to share their feelings and thoughts about the COVID-19 Pandemic, express their frustrations, seek solutions, and build coping skills.

This activity can ultimately improve confidence, communication, and assertiveness skills.

By Specialty Spanish

Doing a Spanish unit on accidents and injuries?  Here are 3 NO PREP activities to help your students build their proficiency!  Interpersonal Speaking is targeted with Partner Guided Conversations, Integrated Listening and Speaking activities, and Open-Ended Task Cards.  These resources will give them both support and freedom to use their Spanish in creative ways!

Do your Spanish students need some help with interpersonal speaking?  Are they struggling to have conversations in Spanish?  Let’s give them some guided support with these 4 partner conversations about accidents and injuries!  Both students will have the opportunity to ask and answer questions as part of a conversation, but with a lot of scaffolding to build confidence.

The Integrated Listening and Speaking Activities don’t require a partner.  They mimic the Seal of Biliteracy tests, like AAPPL, by having students listen to a prompt and recording their response.  There are 2 activities with 5 prompts each.

The Open-ended Task Cards provide 20 different scenarios about accidents and injuries.  Students can tell stories to and with partners, record their stories, or write them! The scenarios come in 3 versions: for display on a SmartBoard/projector, printable in color and printable in black and white.  You can use these as a daily warm up, for a whole class or even for an assessment!

Who can use this product?

  • Spanish students in year 2 and up
  • Students learning the preterite and imperfect

How can I use this product?

  • Students will work in partners to participate in a guided conversation
  • Students will trade roles so both can practice asking questions and answering questions
  • Teachers can assign these conversations as practice or as an assessment
  • Students can practice the same conversations with multiple partners to increase comfort and proficiency!
  • Students can listen to the ILS prompts and record their responses
  • Students can tell a partner a story from a task card scenario, record their story or write their story
  • Any of these activities are ready to use: NO PREP
  • All of these activities can be edited if you wish
  • These activities can be used for practice or for assessment!

What’s included in this product?

  • 4 different guided conversation scenarios about accidents and injuries
  • The conversations provide a scenario/topic of conversation
  • The conversations provide general ideas about what to ask and answer to make it easier for students to keep their conversation going.
  • 2 different ILS (Integrated Listening and Speaking) activities, each with 5 prompts
  • The audio is already recorded for you, but the script is provided so you can record your own voice or use the script to help you correct/give feedback

Spanish Interpersonal Speaking 16 Activities for Conversations by Common Themes

By Specialty Spanish

Are your students hesitant to speak in Spanish in class? Are conversations and interpersonal speaking challenging for them? Are you worried about how to prepare them for tests like the Seal of Biliteracy and AP Spanish Exams? Do you teach multiple levels of Spanish? Then this bundle is for you!

This bundle contains 16 activities and 8 of the most common themes taught in every curriculum!

  • Childhood
  • Daily Routines
  • Clothing and Shopping
  • Food and Restaurants
  • Travel and Vacations
  • Accidents and Injuries
  • The Future
  • The Environment

There are 8 Guided Conversation activities. Guided Conversations provide a general outline for students to use. It helps them keep the conversation going with a partner so they can continue to create with language! They are differentiated between Novice High and Intermediate versions. The Novice versions have helpful vocabulary on their guides. And they can be used and re-used over and over! Switch partners, switch roles, use them at different points in the unit... and use them as review for more advanced students! Teacher notes make these a breeze to use!

There are 8 Integrated Listening and Speaking activities. The themes are the same 8 themes as the Guided Conversations. These ILS activities contain audio links. Students listen and then record their response. These activities are very much like the AAPPL and STAMP tests and are a great pre-cursor for the Simulated Conversation on the AP Spanish test. The audio links are already recorded for you, but the teacher script is also included in case you want to record your own voice, or show students what they heard when going over their responses. Each theme has 2 activities. There are 5 audio prompts in each (so a total of 10 per theme.) The 2nd activity is meant to be a bit more challenging. You can use that to differentiate for students, or use the 2nd activity later in the unit!

Who Can Use This Resource:

  • Students in Year 2 and up (Novice High and Intermediate)

How Do I Use This Resource?

  • The included teacher notes will provide all of these suggestions
  • Students will work in partners with guided conversations
  • Students can switch roles and also switch partners with the guided conversations to make them reusable countless times!
  • Students work alone with the ILS activities
  • They listen and respond, and record their responses
  • These activities can be used for practice or for assessment
  • They are all ready to print or post- no teacher prep!

What's Included?

  • Teacher Notes for Both Kinds of Activities to explain exactly how to use them
  • 8 Guided Conversation Themes (Each theme has 4 conversations included, so there are a total of 32 conversations)
  • 8 Integrated Listening and Speaking Activities (ILS) (Each theme has 2 activities with 10 prompts: so 16 activities and 160 prompts)

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

Many students grapple with effective communication, often because they feel more at ease with texting and technology than engaging in face-to-face conversations. Additionally, a lack of adult role models demonstrating good listening and fostering productive discussions, speech or communication disorders, and a lack of formal instruction in effective communication may contribute to these challenges. Equipping young individuals with effective communication skills is crucial for fostering healthy relationships, peaceful conflict resolution, academic success, and future employment. This resource offers diverse opportunities for imparting these essential skills to your students!

This resource presents 40 real-life scenarios, offering students many opportunities to hone their communication skills in challenging situations, even when experiencing emotions like anger, hurt, betrayal, or insecurity. Through these scenarios, students can engage in discussions, gain insights, and participate in role-playing exercises that explore diverse and effective approaches to expressing thoughts and emotions in a respectful and mature manner, fostering problem-solving skills. This tool serves as an excellent platform for students to refine their ability to "filter their thoughts" effectively.

The Scenario Task Cards and Worksheets encompass four scenarios for EACH of the following 10 topics:

⭐ Demonstrating Empathy

⭐ Blame-Free Communication

⭐ Responding to Criticism

⭐ Sensitive Expression

⭐ Exercising Self-Control

⭐ Negotiating a Compromise

⭐ Offering Good Advice

⭐ Words of Encouragement

⭐ Polite Disagreement

⭐ Demonstrating Maturity

▶️ 40 Scenario Task Cards (COLORED and B&W)

✅ Each Task Card includes one scenario followed by a question unique to the scenario/situation.

✅ These Scenario Task Cards are versatile and can be incorporated into various teaching contexts, such as larger lessons, guided small groups, whole-class discussions, partner discussions before presenting to the entire group, or even in one-on-one sessions with a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent/guardian. Each of the four Task Card variations features the same set of scenarios.

✅ You can print the Task Cards out on gloss paper or regular paper and laminate. You may also organize them in a binder ring.

How/When To Use the Scenario Task Cards

  • Role-Playing: Students have the opportunity to work together in pairs or groups, engaging in role-playing exercises to enact a range of scenarios and showcase appropriate responses. These activities serve as practical demonstrations of how to navigate challenging situations with effective communication. Through role-playing, students can enhance their skills in handling scenarios that require thoughtful filtering of their thoughts, responding maturely, and communicating effectively. Ultimately, this activity fosters improvement in 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 skits for the class.
  • Writing Response: Students can read a given scenario and articulate their responses in writing. Afterwards, they can exchange papers with a partner who will review their responses and assess whether they agree or disagree with the approaches taken in these real-life situations. The evaluation may focus on the appropriateness of problem-solving approaches, particularly when emotions like anger are involved. Additionally, partners can suggest alternative solutions and provide recommendations on effective communication strategies for navigating through challenging situations.
  • Discussion: Students can engage in group or whole-class discussions about the Scenario Task Cards. Topics of discussion may include questions such as, "How can you express your feelings without causing harm to the listener's feelings?" or "In what ways can you communicate your thoughts maturely?" and "How do you effectively filter your thoughts?" These discussions provide a platform for exploring various communication strategies and promoting thoughtful reflection on expressing emotions and thoughts in a respectful and mature manner.

▶️ 40 Scenario Worksheets (same scenarios in the Task Cards)

✅ This resource additionally provides 40 Scenario WORKSHEETS with lines, enabling students to express their responses in writing. These worksheets feature the same scenarios as the Task Cards, offering students an excellent opportunity to showcase how they would communicate effectively in challenging situations.

✅ Print and Digital Worksheets (PDF and Google Slides)

▶️ List of Scenarios (Easy Access for Teachers – 6 pages)

The package also includes a 6-page comprehensive LIST OF SCENARIOS, facilitating easier access for teachers to read and choose scenarios for use. These scenarios align with those presented in the Task Cards.
