Project
Setting up a problem-solving workshop
It is both common and normal for teenagers to come across personal problems that are difficult to solve. Besides getting advice from parents and teachers, it can also be helpful to ask friends and classmates to suggest ways to solve these problems. Set up a problem-solving workshop in class and become an Agony Aunt or Uncle yourself!
Investigate
1 Work in groups. Research advice columns for teenagers in newspapers, magazines or online and find out:
what problems teenagers commonly face
what sort of advice is given to them
2 Organise these problems into the following categories. Add more if necessary.
issues with friends
conflicts with parents
problems with studies
Plan
think of a name for your workshop
set up a mailbox either in the classroom or online to collect letters asking for help
decide how and when you will reply to the letters
Choose one category for your group and set up a work-shop.
Create
1 Run your problem-solving workshop. Let your class know how to use your workshop and encourage them to take part.
2 As a group, review the letters you have received. Discuss the problems and work out possible solutions. Write your replies.
