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

Social cues encompass the signals individuals convey through their body language and expressions. Many students experiencing challenges with social skills struggle to interpret these cues from facial expressions, gestures, and overall body language. When young people miss these cues, they risk misunderstanding people and situations. Recognizing and interpreting social cues effectively can enhance students' confidence, prepare them for various interactions, help them understand their surroundings, respond appropriately to situations, navigate uncomfortable scenarios, and, crucially, prevent potential conflicts.

Product #1: Social Cues SCENARIO Worksheets and Task Cards

✅ This resource features 40 real-life, highly relevant scenarios, offering students ample opportunities to practice interpreting social cues, making inferences, and responding appropriately.

✅ Moreover, this resource is available in Google Slides! Text boxes have been pre-set to facilitate ease of use for both educators and students. Each slide includes two instructional solution tabs, aiding students in case of accidental deletion of text boxes and providing a zoom-in feature for enlarging worksheets. This feature is particularly beneficial for students who may not be familiar with Google Slides or require additional assistance.

▶️ Social Cues Scenario Task Cards (Colored and B&W)

This resource includes 40 Scenario Task Cards, available in Color and B&W, both with and without pre-set questions. Each card presents relatable scenarios, accompanied by a question. Additionally, all scenarios are provided in each color variation without questions, allowing users to create their own questions and activities.

✅ Utilize the Task Cards WITHOUT Questions to formulate your OWN questions!

✅ Incorporate these Task Cards into larger lessons, guided small groups, whole-class discussions, partner interactions before sharing with the class, or individual sessions with a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent/guardian! The Task Cards feature the same scenarios found in the Scenario Worksheets.

✅ Print the Task Cards on gloss or regular paper, laminate them for durability, and consider organizing them on a binder ring for easy access and use.

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

**Role-playing Opportunity: **Engaging in these scenarios offers students a practical opportunity to explore and understand various aspects of interpreting and responding to social cues and body language. Through role-playing, students can develop skills such as reading nonverbal cues, understanding subtle gestures, and responding appropriately in social interactions. This hands-on approach helps students become more adept at interpreting social cues, making informed decisions based on nonverbal communication, and navigating social interactions with confidence.

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

▶️ Social Cues Scenario Worksheets (2 variations)

This resource includes 40 Social Cues Scenario Worksheets, provided in two variations (with and without questions) available in both PDF and Google Slides formats.

▶️ Scenario Worksheets WITH Questions

This variation provides 40 Social Cues Scenario Worksheets with lines for student responses along with a corresponding question.

▶️ Scenario Worksheets WITHOUT Questions

This resource includes 40 Social Cues Scenario Worksheets with lines and no pre-set questions, allowing students to write their own responses and giving you the flexibility to generate questions for them. The worksheets provide space for you to create your own questions or prompts, and in Google Slides, you can generate and type your questions before sharing the document or slides with students for their responses.

▶️ List of Scenarios (Easy Access for Teachers)

Additionally, there is a LIST OF SCENARIOS for teachers to easily review and select scenarios. These scenarios align with those presented in the Task Cards and Worksheets.

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

Product #2: Social Cues and Body Language Worksheets and Task Cards

This resource features 25 practical picture worksheets designed to help students practice interpreting social cues, such as body language, and responding appropriately. By engaging with these worksheets, students can enhance their ability to infer people's feelings and situations, enabling them to determine the most suitable responses.

▶️ 25 Picture Worksheets (Same Pictures in the Task Cards)

**✅ **This resource includes 25 Social Cues Worksheets, available in both printable and digital formats, featuring lines and questions for students to record their responses. Each worksheet contains three questions to prompt student engagement.

1. What do you notice about this person’s (or people’s) body language?
2. What do his/her/their cues tell you about his/her/their situation or what he/she/they may be feeling or thinking?
3. What would be an appropriate thing to do or say to someone in this situation?

✅ Answer Keys | Suggested Responses are included to help you lead effective discussions with your students.

✅ The worksheets feature the same images as the Task Cards and give students the opportunity to interpret social cues, make inferences about a person’s emotions, thoughts, and circumstances, and suggest appropriate responses.

▶️ 25 Picture Task Cards

✅ These Task Cards feature images that illustrate a variety of body language cues. They can be incorporated into larger lessons, used in guided small-group sessions, integrated into whole-class discussions, explored in partner discussions before sharing with the group, or even used one-on-one with a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent/guardian. The images match those featured in the Social Cues Worksheets.

✅ Print the Task Cards on glossy or regular paper and laminate them for durability. You can also organize them on a binder ring for easy access and storage.

Task Cards can be used in several ways:

• Writing Response: Students analyze a picture to interpret the person’s body language, identifying feelings, thoughts, and circumstances. Prompts such as "Which social cues do you notice?", "What do these cues suggest?", and "What is the most appropriate way to respond?" encourage deeper analysis. Students can then exchange papers with a partner, who evaluates the responses and offers alternative perspectives.
• Discussion: In small groups or as a whole class, students use the Task Cards to identify social cues, interpret their meanings, make inferences about the person or situation, and discuss appropriate ways to respond.

▶️ POWERPOINT (25 SLIDES – EDITABLE!)

**✅ **This resource includes a 25-slide editable PowerPoint. Each slide contains the same images featured in the worksheets and task cards. You can rearrange or resize the pictures as needed and add your own text. This PowerPoint is a versatile tool for guiding your lesson, supporting picture analysis, and encouraging meaningful discussions.

▶️ 3 EDITABLE Social Cues Picture Worksheets

**✅ Editable Picture Worksheet #1: **In this editable version, you may add any picture you like. All other elements on this page are locked and cannot be edited due to copyright restrictions.

This is a novel study of C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students. **You will need to have read the first book The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe,** before you do this novel study. I have a novel study for the first book also!****

Competed Lesson Plans

Each chapter comes with a completed lesson plan! The lesson plans include an I can statement (Chapter Goal), the materials needed, what students will be doing as a preview to the chapter, what they will be doing during the read, the activity after the chapter, some differentiation ideas, the assessment, and a closure. There is a spot for standards, but I did not include one because of different state standards. They are also all editable! It was made using Google Slides, so that will be the best place to edit the lesson plans.

Doodle Notes/End of Chapter & Discussion Activities

Each chapter comes with doodle notes and an End of Chapter/Discussion Activity. Doodle notes are notes students take that involve more drawing than writing. Students will have a prompt to help them know what to focus on while listening/reading the chapter and what to take notes on. The activities focus on multiple different skills, Central Idea, Supporting Details, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Summaries, Story Elements, Inferences, and more. There are also 8 discussion activities where students will need to work in groups discussing a prompt about the chapter.

Slideshow

To go along with the book, there is a Slideshow that includes an outline for each chapter! It includes what is written in the lesson plans. So there are introduction slides for each chapter, a copy of the doodle notes and chapter activities, and a slide for the closure. The slides are also editable! So if you would like to add/adapt anything to fit your class/lesson better, just open the file in Canva or PowerPoint. I also made a Google Slides File also that is easier to edit on Google Slides, however you cannot edit as much. ***There is a slide, that you will need to edit. It is the “Discussion Expectations” slide. This is because each class will have different expectations for discussions.**

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

Guided Reading is a research-based instruction process whereby the teacher works with small grouping of students being equal in a particular reading achievement level. The teacher provides for each reader's development of effective reading competencies. However different than in the earlier days of reading groups, small and temporary groups are flexible and dynamic. The observance and evaluation of the progress of readers are done by teachers on a systematic basis. Thus, grouping and regrouping students is based on the strengths of students and the intense changing needs throughout their reading development.

In the 1960s in New Zealand, Guided Reading was developed. It was enhanced over the years after it arrived in the United States thanks to educators like Gay Su Pinnell and Lesley Fountas. In 1996, Fountas & Pinnell published their enormously influential book, Guided Reading: Good First Teaching for All Children (Heinemann). This book changed how reading was taught, and it is still taught today to over a million teachers worldwide. The aim of Guided Reading lessons is to develop effective readers.

A set of 13 books is bundled together with all 13 worksheets of the Guided Reading series for grades KG-12. There are lesson plans and different activities for every grade, with the answers in the end section of the worksheet.

This is a novel study of Gary Paulsen's Brian's Hunt ( a sequel to Hatchet). In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students.

Completed Lesson Plans

Each chapter comes with a completed lesson plan! The lesson plans include an I can statement (Chapter Goal), the materials needed, what students will be doing as a preview to the chapter, what they will be doing during the read, the activity after the chapter, some differentiation ideas, the assessment, and a closure. There is a spot for standards, but I did not include one because of different state standards. They are also all editable! It was made using Google Slides, so if you open the file in Google Slides or PowerPoint you can edit each lesson plan to fit your class’s needs!

Doodle Notes and End of Chapter/Discussion Activities

This is a novel study of Gary Paulsen's The River ( a sequel to Hatchet). In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students.

Completed Lesson Plans

Each chapter comes with a completed lesson plan! The lesson plans include an I can statement (Chapter Goal), the materials needed, what students will be doing as a preview to the chapter, what they will be doing during the read, the activity after the chapter, some differentiation ideas, the assessment, and a closure. There is a spot for standards, but I did not include one because of different state standards. They are also all editable! It was made using Google Slides, so if you open the file in Google Slides or PowerPoint you can edit each lesson plan to fit your class’s needs!

Doodle Notes and End of Chapter/Discussion Activities

Each chapter comes with doodle notes and an End of Chapter/Discussion Activity. Doodle notes are notes students take that involve more drawing than writing. Students will have a prompt to help them know what to focus on while listening/reading the chapter and what to take notes on. The activities focus on multiple different skills, Central Idea, Supporting Details, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Summaries, Story Elements, Inferences, and more. There are also 8 discussion activities where students will need to work in groups discussing a prompt about the chapter.

Slideshow

To go along with the book, there is a Slideshow that includes an outline for each chapter! It includes what is written in the lesson plans. So there are introduction slides for each chapter, a copy of the doodle notes and chapter activities, and a slide for the closure. The slides are also editable! So if you would like to add/adapt anything to fit your class/lesson better, just open the file in Google Slides or PowerPoint. ***There is a slide, that you will need to edit. It is the “Discussion Expectations” slide. This is because each class will have different expectations for discussions.**

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review it.

This is a novel study of Gary Paulsen's Brian’s Winter (The sequel to Hatchet). In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students.

****I would recommend reading Hatchet before Brian's Winter. Since it is a sequel, having the prior knowledge would help a lot. I also have a novel study to go along with Hatchet!**
