Social Thinking Vocabulary

Introduction

We will be using a lot of Social Thinking words and activities this semester in our group.  We need to review some vocabulary and make sure we understand it when Mr. Polich talks about brain farts being stinking thinking! . For some of us, these words and phrases are brand new!  Today you will work together to define some of the words/phrases and put them into your own words.  

Process

Task 1

Have someboy from the group gather the following materials:

-a pencil

-a piece of loose lined paper

-a piece of plain white paper

-colored pencils, markers, or crayons

 

Task 2

Working with your group, please answer the following questions.  You may type or write your responses, but be sure to use your own words.  Do not copy the answers directly off of a website.  Only one person needs to record the answers.  

 

1. What does it mean to be a "Thinking of You" person?  Why is it better than being a "Just Me" person?

 

2. As a group, draw a picture of a "flexible brain" and what you think it means.

 

3. What are some examples of "unexpected behaviors" in the classroom?

 

4. What is an example of a "hidden rule" that might come up at school?

 

5. What is a social fake ?

 

5. Write a scenario where you might use a "social fake."  The scenario should be at least 3-5 sentences long.
