Acting Out Social Skills: Beyond the Basics

The Acting Out Social Skills: Beyond the Basics Student Book is organized theatrically with acts and scenes, focusing on themes present in social situations. The seven acts reflect the universal character virtues: Responsibility, Respect, Fairness, Citizenship, Trustworhiness, Caring and Civic Responsibility. Each act has three scenes plus a wrap up. The scenes present social dilemmas from different character perspectives and engage the student through role play, analysis, and discussion. Throughout these activities the effect of behavior on emotions is stressed.
