Email Communication

This was the lesson I did with my social group this week.  We had an incident where some group members had inappropriate email communication with each other.  As I was teaching the lesson, I realized that the parts of an effective email correlate well with the "conversation train" I've used earlier this year.  It seemed to struck a cord with the students.  This is a very important skill for all students to understand.

Conversation Skills

My latest social skills group lesson.  This is the first of many lessons on conversation skills.  

We use the metaphor of a train to help students visualize how a conversation works.  The main idea for this lesson came from Jill Kuzma's blog.  

She had a great visual describing the parts of a conversation.
