I used these with a small (4-6 students) mixed class of 6-11 graders in Sunday school. The kids liked the format, but the topics are redundant if used weekly. The sheets talk a lot about media influences (TV and music, especially). That's an important topic with middle and high school aged kids, but it's not something you want to talk about several times a month. I would use these to supplement other curriculum. For occasional use, they are great.
This book gives teachers some good ideas to talk about with young teens. Like "Am I normal?" There is a kids side that I make copies of and the teacher side.
We recently began a new youth group night. The youth group leaders had no prior experience and needed a lot of help to get started. This book was the answer!
This product was okay. There weren't as many diversify lessons as I would have like there to be. This book assumes that all middle school and high school or's come from the same background and face the same types of problems. It really wasn't relevant in an inner-city setting.
Great resource for teaching Middle School, which is hard to find! Organized by topic, so it's easy to do planning. The kids really enjoy the worksheets and it gets them talking, which is challenging at this age. The perfect balance of light-heartedness and seriousness needed for the older age set.
These talk sheets really work. They're good for both seasoned and beginners. Very relevant and hit real issues.
I work with middle school students and this book has great ideas for getting them thinking and talking. The best part is the kids love doing it. I am planning on buying David's additional talksheets, so I have another great resource.
I guess I goofed I got this in order to print the sheets for my Sunday School class..I wasn't thinking when I bought the Kindle Version that I wouldn't be able to do that..This seems like a great program if I could only share it which is what it meant to be done but No way of doing it with Kindle..I will need to order the paperback.
