Instructional Ideas
  • Challenge the class to write scenarios that include a conflict
  • Have copies of the extension pieces—the fortune teller and emojis—readily available to conduct those parts when time permits
Classroom Considerations
  • The ninth lesson in a 12-lesson series by Overcoming Obstacles
  • Preparation requires making copies and gathering other supplies—chart paper and markers
Pros
  • The use of emojis and iPhone text messaging graphics engage youth
  • Stresses the importance of choosing words wisely
Cons
  • The resource does not include conflict scenarios
