**********************************************************************************************************
Most students have cell phones and communicate with family, friends, and classmates through text messaging. Just about ALL students are familiar with text messaging. Why not teach and practice social skills and recognize how social skills both looks and sounds like (and what it doesn't) in such a way that appeals to their interests?! No student will be able to resist these activities - for real!
This resource features a total of 10 text message conversations in three variations to support differentiation. There is a total of 30 worksheets. Also included in this zip file is a BONUS text messaging resource that consists of one text message conversation in different variations and an Answer Key.
Text Message Conversation Variation Worksheet Details:
1. Worksheet #1: Contains two questions that are suitable for lower-level students. (These questions ask students to determine if the person has good social skills and support their answer with evidence. The second question asks students to think about how they would respond if they were in the same situation or similar to that.)
2. Worksheet #2: Contains two questions that are suitable for higher-level students. These types of questions are more inference-based and challenge students to think critically about the situation and individuals.
3. Worksheet #3: A plain worksheet that only includes the text message conversation (in which you can generate your OWN question). This worksheet contains a box in which students can write the question you generate / or copy a question from the board.
☆☆☆ There are a total of 10 Text Message Conversations in THREE variations.
*********************************************************************************************************
Below are some sample questions (included in the worksheets) for Lower-level students (to help you decide if this resource is suitable for your students):
Does Jen have good social skills? Explain your answer and support it with evidence.
How would you have responded to your friend in this situation if you felt a little jealous?
For the SAME text message conversation, some sample questions (included in the worksheets) for Higher-level students include:
Analyze this text conversation. Why do you think Jen decided to apologize to Cara for being hurtful? Explain your answer and support it with evidence.
How do you think Jen should have handled her emotions the moment she felt jealous (instead of being hurtful)?
*********************************************************************************************************
This resource is AMAZING for struggling readers and writers who have a short attention span and/or are unable to keep their focus when reading longer texts.
The text message conversations and topics are age appropriate, HIGHLY relevant, familiar, and FUN! Students will easily identify with some of the people engaging in these text conversations. It would be interesting to see what students can infer and how they will respond in such situations. Additionally, you can extend these conversations by having students read them aloud so they can "hear" what good social skills sounds like and what it doesn't.
You can use these Social Skills Text Message Conversation Worksheets as part of a larger lesson, during a Mini Lesson, Guided Practice, Independent Work, as a Pair or Groupwork activity, small groups, and even for homework or practice!
