III. Responding to Real-Life Examples
Choose one of the scenarios below to interact with. Then answer the five questions below, using your chosen scenario.
Sarah’s story
Sarah is 10 years old and is quiet but participates when she has to. As far as you have observed she is treated well by the other students, but some other students have recently accused her of stealing their things. You observe her for the next couple of days and notice that she has also taken a few markers from the classroom as well as an extra piece of candy.
Tareq’s story
Tareq is an 11-year-old boy who is talkative and generally friendly. Most days he is eager to engage and share in the sessions. However, if there is any extra talking or whispering by the students, he lashes out and yells at them. Or he shuts down. You are pretty sure the other students are not laughing at him or talking about him, but he doesn’t believe you when you tell him that.
Mira’s story
Mira is 8 years old and is clearly a leader in the group. She is constantly asking questions and telling everyone else what they should do. She is always asking what time it is, and how much longer they will do this activity or that activity. One day there was another activity in the building so the room where you met with the group had to change. Mira was visibly upset and refused to engage in the activities that day. She asked to go to the bathroom very often and when you asked her if something was wrong, she didn’t want to answer your questions.
