Lesson Plan
Keep the Chat Going
Students will learn and practice asking follow-up questions and adding comments to keep conversations going, aiming to use at least two new strategies in peer discussions.
Building strong conversation skills helps all students—especially those with autism—form friendships, feel included, and gain confidence in social settings.
