Thanksgiving Social Narrative: Family Gathering Life Skills, High School

Students practice what to expect at a family gathering with a first person social narrative written for secondary learners. This 25 page packet includes the same story at three reading levels (picture support, guided reading, and extended reasoning), a visual schedule, key words with visual supports, a conversation toolkit with scripts, food and table choices, a sensory break and calm plan with a cut out break card, scenario practice, comprehension checks, a teacher answer key, a data sheet with prompt levels, and a family letter with a thank you note page. Teacher notes cover a five day teaching plan, sample IEP goals, and how to customize names and places. Made for life skills, autism support, social skills and transition programs serving ages 14 to 21, with adult looking pages and no brand names. Read it before a holiday break, role play the pages, then send the family letter home. Pairs with Thanksgiving Menu Math and Grocery Budgeting, Thanksgiving Order Checking Vocational Task Boxes, Thanksgiving Visual Recipes and Kitchen Safety, and Thanksgiving Adapted PE Fitness Stations.
