Use the ideas in this guide to help students master the skills that RJ learns in I Can’t Believe You Said That! More than 20 activities allow students to visualise what a social filter is and practice using their filters in a safe setting. Each activity provides teacher instructions, lists of materials when needed, and activity sheets for use in-class or as homework. Sixteen reward coupons (in full colour or black and white) can be used to recognise students who demonstrate the skills correctly. The enclosed CD-ROM has pdf files of all of the reproducible pages in the activity guide plus extra worksheets to use.
Choosing Appropriate Words to Say and Analyzing Social Situations are two of the skills from Teaching Social Skills to Youth that teach positive behaviour and are part of the Boys Town Education Model.
