Planned Teaching Boys Town Social Skill Lesson Plan How to Get the Teacher's Attention |
|||
| Introduce Skill | Have you ever wanted someone's attention and you tried | ||
| What? | everything you could think of and still did not get a positive | ||
| When? | response? Have you ever watched reporters try to get the | ||
| Who? | President's attention at a press conference? We need this skill | ||
| in large or small groups, and especially during lessons. | |||
| Describe Skill Steps | 1. Look at the person. | ||
| 2. Raise hand. | |||
| 3. Wait for acknowledgement. | |||
| 4. After acknowledgement, ask question in quiet voice tone. | |||
| Rationale | When you get the teacher's attention this way, he may be more | ||
| Benefit | likely to answer your question. This allows him to hear your question | ||
| Neg. Consequence | without distractions and answer faster, so you can finish your | ||
| Concern | work more quickly. Also, getting the teacher's full attention will | ||
| allow other students with the same questions or concern to hear | |||
| the teacher's response. | |||
| Request for Acknowledgment | Do you see why this skill is important? Can someone repeat the steps for me? | ||
| Practice | 1. Place students in groups of four. | ||
| 2. Pass out sentence strips that contain separate steps of the skill. | |||
| 3. Have students put steps in correct order. | |||
| 4. Have someone repeat the steps to the class. | |||
| 5. Have students illustrate each step and make mobiles for the | |||
| classroom. (For example: an eye, a hand, a clock, and a music note.) | |||
| 6. Pretend the class is at a press conference for the President of | |||
| the United States. Let one student be the President and the others | |||
| be reporters. Role play. | |||
| Feedback | You did a great job of getting the President's/teacher's attention | ||
