Great expectations.

Abstract

Educator Instructions: Before reviewing the instructions printed on the tool, begin with the Discussion Starter provided below or something similar. Explain the directions on the tool and encourage them to fill out the table. After they have time to come up with examples, take a moment to talk about their responses. If both partners are present, you could have them work independently and compare their lists or you could have them work together. If they work independently, have them compare responses. Are there any surprises? How can they communicate their needs more clearly? If some seem unreasonable, talk about how they could be modified to be more achievable.
