Check the story you’re telling yourself

Grades 6–8 · 10-minute worksheet

1. Read or listen (2 minutes). A friend saw your message but hasn’t replied. You think they’re ignoring you.

2. Try it (5 minutes). Put “seen” and “ignoring me” in the right boxes. Write another possible reason. Choices: What I know / What I’m guessing / What I can check.

3. One more try (3 minutes). Write a check-in that gives them time to reply.
