Now, let's jump right in!"
"To start our lesson, I want to open up a discussion. How many of you feel organized? What kinds of methods do you use to keep your schoolwork and life organized?
Think about your current habits. Do you have a system that works well for you, or do you find yourself overwhelmed?
Let’s share our thoughts! Please raise your hand if you’d like to contribute."
[Facilitate discussion, encouraging several students to share their experiences and thoughts.]
"Thank you all for sharing! It’s great to hear different perspectives on organization."
"Now, it's time for an activity! I’m going to pass out some organization cards for you. Each of you will receive one.
On these cards, I’d like you to summarize your current organization habits. Think about what you do well and identify areas where you could improve.
You have 10 minutes to complete this task. Ready? Go!"
