8th Grade Speech Therapy Google Apps

Are you looking for an introduction lesson for teaching main idea? Are your students struggling with main idea and supporting details or just Listening skills in general?  The secret to getting the main idea is to teach the student to identify the topic, and then teach the student to identify what the purpose of the narrative was (Entertain/ Inform/ Persuade/ Instruct).

This is A 36 card/slide Lesson with 36 multiple choice prompts and 36 open-ended prompts which allow you to determine if the student can grasp the main idea. Narratives get progressively more complex as the student moves through the cards. A 4 page PDF assessment in included.

The cards work well with any students grades 6-10 or best when used with students who have mild cognitive delays yet basic language skills. An independent lesson will take about 30 minutes however if you are using it as a teaching tool during instruction the lesson can easily fill 60 minutes with breaks in between for group discussion.

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.

About This Resource

Social Skills Text Message Conversations | Communication Skills | Texting Messaging

About This Resource

★ Topic: Social Skills

★ 10 Text Message Conversations | 3 variations

★ 37 pages

★ Suitable for Middle and High School Students

★ Print and Digital (PDF and Google Slides)

★ Uneditable due to copyright purposes

This resource includes:

☆ **30 **Social Skills Text Message Conversation Worksheets (Differentiated)

☆ Google Slide Link

☆ Free Bonus Text Message resource

BONUS (FREE - Print and Digital)

★ 2 Social Skills Text Message Conversation Worksheets (Differentiated)

★ 2 Bulletin Board Task Display Pages (for one of the conversations)

★ Answer Keys | Sample Responses

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

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!
