This lesson teaches students about the value of thinking ahead before entering new/challenging social situations, walks through how to do so, and uses a worksheet for practice.

The aim of the lesson is to give students the tools to think ahead- working goal setting and self-management skills. The main takeaways from this lesson should be the value of learning about social norms, goal setting, planning ahead, and how to do these things. It is also stressed that while social norms may feel ambiguous they are most often specific and can be learned.

The lesson includes a presentation (10 slides), a worksheet (2 pages), and a presentation guide (3 pages).

The slides and worksheet are simple to increase comprehension and suit middle through high school students.
