Numbered activities, separate answer keys and a teaching guide in one ZIP. The pack uses the focused sequence; the complete practice sheet above is an alternative.

Teaching and response guide

  1. Begin with: Describe the main problem in the situation.
  2. Connect the response to: Suggest a constructive next step.
  3. Ask students to apply the idea: What might happen after your suggested step?

Watch for: Assuming one expression proves a single feeling or that only one respectful answer is possible.

Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
