Build excitement and enthusiasm in disengaged middle and high school teens by introducing and teaching zest! Use these two books hand-in-hand to energize young people to live lives filled with adventure, purpose and meaning. Illustrations inspire optimism and promote eagerness. Active, hands-on activities provoke students to become more motivated and less apathetic.
Each of the 23 lessons is structured for a class period, or can be extended for several sessions. Suggestions for flipped classroom assignments are given with detailed teacher-friendly instructions. Incorporating the use of technology in the lessons through various devices keeps students in grades 4-12 motivated and engaged.
These resources are a great way to embed the teaching of social skills while furthering executive function skills. Students will practice step-by-step social skills such as staying on task, expressing pride in accomplishments, or maintaining a conversation while strengthening social intelligence and embracing zest.
Individual books can be purchased separately.
