Description
This deck targets taking turns in conversations using real photographs, relatable situations, and leveled practice. Students working on pragmatic language goals will practice making comments and asking questions in functional, real-life scenarios. 💠These activities help students think critically about engaging in conversation– what to say, who to say it to, and when it’s appropriate to say it. The deck is organized into sections, so you can build skills across multiple sessions. ✅ The one-card mini-lesson introduces the concept and provides guiding questions students can ask themselves when deciding whether a comment or question works in the situation. ✅ 20 multiple-choice practice cards allow students to read a comment or question and choose the person or situation where it would be appropriate. ✅ 20 fill-in-the-blank practice cards allow students to read a scenario and determine an appropriate response. This conversation activity goes beyond basic pragmatic language understanding and encourages higher-level thinking about social communication. 💡 Why you'll love it: ❤️ Teaching and practice components ❤️ Real photos that appeal to older students ❤️ Functional, relatable social scenarios ❤️ Multiple response formats for varied learning This activity advances students’ conversational skills by helping them apply pragmatic knowledge in multiple ways. It’s appropriate for a range of skill levels and works beautifully in individual sessions, small groups, or teletherapy.
