Original Prompt

Create an asynchronous learning activity for middle school students who struggle with being on time, coming to class prepared, using their cell phone appropriately, and/or demonstrating respectful behavior in the classroom.

This guide focuses on essential classroom skills known as 'soft skills' which are crucial for success both academically and in future job settings. It includes self-assessments on punctuality, preparedness, phone usage, and respectful behavior. The document elaborates on why these skills matter, providing insights on how good classroom habits influence future interactions. Additionally, it includes reflective exercises for students to identify their strongest skills and areas for improvement. The Success Strategies Workshop section covers time management and organization through practical exercises, like mapping a morning routine and personalizing checklists. Digital citizenship is also addressed with guidance on managing phone usage effectively during classes. The guide encourages respectful interactions through scenario evaluations and emphasizes personal goal-setting with SMART criteria. Finally, it outlines an action plan for overcoming challenges and provides a two-week progress tracker to monitor continuous improvement.
