Objective

By the end of this lesson, Daniella and Alisia will be able to write a letter, understand what to do in an emergency, and complete a form. They will gain practical life skills that will help them communicate effectively and respond appropriately in various situations.

Materials and Prep

• Paper and pencils for writing letters
• Printed emergency contact form template
• List of emergency scenarios (e.g., fire, lost pet, medical emergency)
• Timer (optional for timed activities)

Before the lesson, prepare the emergency contact form template and write down a few emergency scenarios to discuss with the students.

Activities

• Letter Writing: Daniella and Alisia will write a letter to a family member or friend. They can choose a topic like sharing a fun experience, asking a question, or just saying hello. This activity will help them practice their writing skills and express their thoughts clearly.

• Emergency Role-Play: The students will take turns acting out different emergency scenarios. One will act as the person in need, and the other will respond using the appropriate steps they learned. This activity will help them understand how to react in real-life situations.

• Form Filling: Using the printed emergency contact form template, Daniella and Alisia will practice filling out the form with their own information as well as fictitious emergency contacts. This will teach them how to complete forms accurately and understand the importance of having emergency information readily available.

Talking Points

• "Writing a letter is a great way to connect with someone you care about. What would you like to tell them?"
• "When there's an emergency, it's important to stay calm and think clearly. Can you think of a time when you had to stay calm?"
• "Filling out forms can seem boring, but it's really important! What kind of information do you think is necessary for an emergency contact form?"
• "Role-playing helps us practice how to react in real situations. How would you feel if you had to call for help?"
• "Remember, it's always okay to ask for help if you're unsure about something. Who can you ask for help in an emergency?"
