This month's unit's stories help young adults learn about safety through instruction about routine and appropriate use of
household appliances and tools. The first story shows how a young woman learns about making simple home
repairs alongside her grandfather. Basic household tools are introduced in this story. The second story focuses on
safety rules that must be followed when completing household tasks, like cooking or cleaning. In this story, a brother
and a sister surprise their mother by completing her daily list of chores while adhering to simple safety rules. Each
story is followed by comprehension questions that address key points and help facilitate discussion. Three articles
further explore home safety issues by providing information about calling a professional for large home repairs, using
household tools safely and establishing a cleaning routine. Each article is followed by an activity designed to
emphasize important content.
Other monthly lessons support practical application of math concepts with content that addresses time calculation,
money problems, banking and budgeting. Realistic content and practical application are emphasized in these
lessons. Social skills are stressed using a monthly calendar of social trivia as well as communication scenarios. This
month addresses how to be a good listener.
Employment continues to be a regular focus for several lessons each month. Lessons include exploring different
jobs, reading job ads, completing job applications and practicing interview skills. Positive attitudes on the job are
addressed with simple, realistic scenarios that present examples of how to interact with co-workers and supervisors.
