Sample Activities:

 

·        SKILLS FOR LIFE - Provide students with case studies/scenarios that present real-life problems. (Have students brain-storm the problems in advance so you can write the case studies.) In small groups, students identify the problem, rate the relative risk (based on a student-developed risk scale), and select the appropriate skills needed to solve the problem. Students develop a one-act play that provides background, presents the dilemma, and then shows the character(s) using the appropriate skills. Allow some students to create a situation that is not resolved even though the person chose the correct skills. Each group presents their one act play and then leads a focused discussion on the use of the skills in the situation.

Variation: Students develop a monologue or paired dialogue reflecting on a problem or situation and what skills could have been employed to alter the outcome.
