Skills for Life & Leadership...FIVE LESSONS BUNDLED!

This bundle contains five one-hour lessons. They are appropriate for students in your ASB, study skills, homeroom, or health classes--students with whom you have an opportunity to teach and connect over authentic issues that affect our life and leadership! I use them as a "Monday Motivator," and I love the conversation that these kinds of talks inspire with my students. I created these lessons with grades 7-12 in mind, specifically for my 9th grade AVID class. All lessons have a teen-friendly TED Talk, a two-page print and GO! lesson, an exit ticket, and an answer key. Print and leave for your sub plans.

I am working to build my TPT presence. If you enjoy my lessons, I would appreciate it if you would consider "following me" and sharing your rating. :)

I have been a middle and high school English teacher for 29 years, and only in the past five have I been teaching leadership and AVID classes as well. This lesson guides students to capture the “big ideas” of the talk, and it includes an “about/point,” which is a summarizing strategy. I have included suggestions on the answer key to guide your instruction and integrate writing as a vehicle for helping students synthesize their learning across the curriculum.

Have an absent student? The QR code to each talk is printed on the lesson. Leave a copy of the lesson plan, answer key, and directions for how to cue up the Ted Talk, and you have a great emergency sub plan as well.

Key Words:

Social skills, communication, speech, drama, career and technical education, AVID, speaking and listening, online learning, flipped classroom

Happy Teaching!
