In this book you'll find techniques, materials, and activities to help your students build classification and comparison skill as well as to enhance their comfort in approaching social situations.
By using this book your students will:
1. Talk about general characteristics of members of a category such as animals.
2. Talk about how two animals can be the same in some ways, yet different in other ways.
3. Use graphic organizers they prepare to write about these comparisons.
Ten different categories are addressed in the book which contains hundreds of pictures that will help your students classify, compare, and write.
Students will be more comfortable approaching social situations if they're armed with a means of easily comparing two similar social situations. Here's how you'll help them do this.
First, encourage students who are weak in social skill areas to compare different animals, buildings, and other common items that are not associated with social situations. Use the comparison techniques offered in the discussions of each of the categories.
Then, encourage these students to compare different social situations. Students will recall comparing a lion and a deer, and realize that, in a similar way, they can compare dining out in a fine restaurant and eating out at a fast food restaurant! They can systematically compare these dining experiences and focus on simularities and differences.
For example, what if a student frequently goes to a favorite casual style restuarant, then one day plans to go out to a more formal restuarant? Using the format presented in this book, he can compare several aspects of casual dining and formal dining. He'll see that some traits are common to both dining experiences, others are different. Knowing simularities and understanding differences between a more or less familar type of "dining out" can lesson his anxiety in anticipating this novel social experience.
You can easliy help your students make these comparisons using the materials in this book that focus on social situations - dozens of them!
