Every student needs to learn the social emotional impact of being left out of conversations and how to include their peers.

Download this complete lesson plan written by a certified Deaf Educator for ages 6 to 9 and Grades 1 and 2.

Eight printable worksheets are included as companions to the picture book: Never Mind (Duke the Deaf Dog ASL Series #1), by Kelly Brakenhoff: two different cover art options, four worksheets, and two coloring pages. Video tutorial links included for practicing the ASL vocabulary and an ASL version of the complete story performed by a deaf college instructor.

There are many creative ways to use this workbook in your classroom.

Have the group of students complete the worksheets and discuss their responses to the social emotional aspects of the story. The students can break into pairs to practice the ASL signs used in the book.
• Have a student read the book independently, complete the worksheets, and view the ASL video tutorials online.
