Oftentimes it is difficult to pay specific attention to teaching manners at home. Although teaching opportunities such as mealtimes, errands, phone calls, and encounters with others occur regularly, it is difficult to remember to work lessons on manners in when it's appropriate. This program teaches manners in a way that will appeal to and even be enjoyable for everybody. The course is constructed around eight basic lesson plans, including courtesy at home, introductions, conversation, telephone etiquette, hospitality manners, using manners away from home, table manners, and thank-you notes. the lesson plans here include teaching dialogue, lists of materials needed, hints on how to teach each topic, and suggested activities. The skits are utilized more and require at least two people for acting. They normally revolve around an "Oops" character displaying a lack of manners in a situation. The lesson goes on to display the proper or mannerly way to handle the same situation. Plenty of examples and exercises are included here, so you definitely needn't feel like you as the teacher, need to be an Emily Post to teach this class. Also included in each lesson are the corrected student pages, review questions and answers, activity suggestions for teams of students, an opening prayer and dismissal verse, student "homework" assignments, and teaching hints.
