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 bundle offers diverse opportunities for imparting these essential skills to your students!

Introducing research techniques when preparing for a speech has never been easier! This lesson guides students through a step-by-step process of understanding how to research their topics, determine which resources are appropriate, and prepare accordingly. When a high school student begins a public speaking unit, it is quite often the first time he or she has been required to speak in public, other than the basic Show and Tell in elementary school.

Therefore, it is important to make sure the students become familiar with the basics of how to stand, speak, move, and make eye contact during any type of public speaking situation. This lesson is designed to help the students with multiple aspects of research, so they can prepare their presentation accordingly.

The slide show, and worksheets allow students to practice and develop their public speaking skills. The worksheets reinforce guided note-taking techniques when used in conjunction with the slide show. The detailed lesson plans make implementing public speaking, speech and debate curriculum easy for teachers.

These no-prep lessons are adaptable for in-class instruction, distance learning, or independent student work. The PowerPoints can also be presented as whole class instruction or assigned for students to complete at home.

All materials are available in both Google Drive™ and print formats, ensuring easy access for all students.

This resource should accompany The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett.

This editable resource asks students to practice a passage directly from The Diary of Anne Frank and focus on accuracy, pace, expression, and punctuation. Students are asked to practice reading the passage to an adult. I have always had my students record themselves reading the passage at the end of a week, and I grade them using the same rubric that is on this assignment.

This AVID team-building card game is the perfect icebreaker for students who want to practice their public speaking skills in a fun and interactive way. Designed for use in a classroom or group setting, this card game challenges players to give a 1-minute speech about a topic using the card they draw. This engaging activity not only helps students build their public speaking confidence but also teaches them valuable skills in communication and creative thinking!

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.

This resource should be used with Edgar Allan Poe's short story The Tell-Tale Heart. With this activity, students will read the M'Naghten rule of 1843 and decide whether or not they believe the main character of The Tell-Tale Heart would be found legally sane or insane. This resource includes space for students to collect textual evidence to support their answer, space for students to write other open-ended questions for discussion, and a discussion grading rubric.

I used this activity with my 8th grade students, and they absolutely loved it. They found great evidence to back up their explanations, and gained a deeper understanding of the short story and the M'Naghten rule. We used this resource in a socratic seminar formatted discussion, and they had enough to say about the main character and the M'Naghten rule that the majority of our 55 minute class period was covered.

Kick off the return from Fall Break with this engaging Bottle Flip Partner Game! This printable activity is perfect for icebreakers, team-building, or quick classroom fun. Keep students active and excited with a hands-on game designed for easy use in any classroom setting.

This activity allows students to talk and share their experiences in a fun and interactive way. Students will take turns trying to gain points by flipping a bottle upright! When they miss, they have to answer a question and lose a chance at points.

Whether you're a teacher looking to add a fun and interactive activity to your classroom curriculum, or a team leader looking to build team dynamics and improve communication skills, the AVID team-building card game is the perfect choice!

★ Print and Digital (PDF and Google Slides)

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.

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

Introducing how to organize a speech when writing a speech has never been easier! This lesson guides students through a step-by-step process of understanding how to organize the information in a speech and prepare accordingly. When a high school student begins a public speaking unit, it is quite often the first time he or she has been required to speak in public, other than the basic Show and Tell in elementary school.

Therefore, it is important to make sure the students become familiar with the basics of how to stand, speak, move, and make eye contact during any type of public speaking situation. This lesson is designed to help the students with all aspects of organizing their speech, so they can prepare their presentation accordingly.

The slide show, and worksheets allow students to practice and develop their public speaking skills. The worksheets reinforce guided note-taking techniques when used in conjunction with the slide show. The detailed lesson plans make implementing public speaking, speech and debate curriculum easy for teachers.

These no-prep lessons are adaptable for in-class instruction, distance learning, or independent student work. The PowerPoints can also be presented as whole class instruction or assigned for students to complete at home.

All materials are available in both Google Drive™ and print formats, ensuring easy access for all students.
