Overview

RJ's back in the sixth installment of award-winning author Julia Cook's very successful Best Me I Can Be series, THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK . I THINK! This entertaining story follows RJ as he goes about his day doing the things he enjoys, such as blowing bubbles, playing football and hanging out with friends. But when a couple of friends give him compliments, he just isn't sure how to respond! As RJ continues through the day, he hears from his teacher and parents that while there are many things he's doing very well, there are, also, some things he needs to work on. His first reaction is to argue and make excuses. Throughout this must-read story, RJ learns what it means to receive positive and negative feedback and how to respond appropriately to that feedback. Parents and teachers will love taking kids on RJ's journey as he discovers feedback's many forms and learns to accept and grow from criticism and compliments at home, school and with friends. This guide for Teachers includes activities ranging from using crafts to provide compliments, safe ways to provide negative feedback, self-evaluation, games and, of course, opportunities to get students up and out of their seats! The guide offers teachers ideas on how to blend some of these lessons within their academic teaching and even ideas for how students can practise at home. Reward templates (colour and black-and-white versions) can be used to recognise students who use the skills correctly. Reproducible activity sheets and coupons are included on the enclosed CD-ROM.
