Description

Ever tried to talk to a middle school student? Ever tried to get that same student to open up to you about sensitive but important topics that are affecting their life every day? Anyone who is the parent of a Middle-Schooler, or taught in Middle School, or even knows a Middle School-aged child, knows that the adolescent years can be a roller coaster.In this book, author and veteran educator Cindi Dodd provides seven different tales that were pulled right out of Middle School halls and classrooms. Each story is coupled with discussion questions that will get your Middle School students talking and engaged in a class meeting. To take full advantage of your time with your students, social skills that are relevant to the story and can be taught to students, as well as activities to practice those social skills, are provided! Advice such as how to set up your classroom and when and how to set up class meetings is included. Reproducible worksheets, handouts and posters are also available to download.This book is an ideal guide for teachers who want to make the most of class meetings with your students.
