Instructional Ideas

• Set up groups and assign the roles ahead of time; or give learners the option to create their own groups and divvy up the roles themselves

Classroom Considerations

• First lesson in a four-part life skills unit 

Pros

• The five-page packet includes learning objectives, standards addressed, teacher reflection, and a worksheet, 
• Resource clearly identifies the skills and subject areas addressed in the lesson

Cons

• The lesson procedure is brief in detail
