BEST 10

7. Pay Attention Adults often expect young people to magically know how to pay attention, but no one may have actually taught the child how to do so. To teach the skills needed to pay attention, teach each of these five skills one at a time: Get your area ready, get yourself ready, watch the action, listen to the action, control your body. You should use pictures, rag dolls or other attention-grabbing devices to teach and drill the skills into habits. But, until you teach the skills, you shouldn't expect them.
8. Can You Compute? Internet and/or computer skills are becoming required for almost any job. You may have to scan a badge to clock in at your job, or log onto a network to get your assignments. Have your students strut their stuff by performing Internet or computer tasks. Here's one to start: Find where to get bake apples, and locate a shipper to transport. Answer: Bake apples are a Newfoundland, Canada food; UPS could provide shipping. Discuss with students where they can hone key Internet and computer skills.
9. Computers Rule for good or bad, computers are becoming absolutely key to everyday work and living. More and more mail is being sent over the Internet, but at the same time, Spam is becoming a bigger and bigger hassle. Here at Youth Change, we receive about 300 spasms each day. It has gotten harder and harder to spot the real e-mail from the junk e-mail. In fact, an invitation to present our workshop in Europe was at first deleted as our Spam deletion program thought it was junk mail. So, save up your real mail and junk e-mail (eliminating offensive or personal items) then ask students to sort through a very large amount of e-mail. Alternatively, create simulated e-mails to use instead. Note how many times important items like bills, renewal notices, and password information, are deleted. Be sure to include bogus virus alerts, e-mails containing "viruses", and deceptive offers in the e-mails you give students to process. When students mishandle items, note that education and computer training can help.
10. Misbehaved Employees wanted to show students that present classroom management problems, that misbehavior won't be tolerated in the adult world, ask them to search the employment classified ads for employers who seek employees with behavior problems.
