The questions are adapted for each picture scene but they follow the same pattern. Hear the question spoken aloud by the app, read it aloud for the user or ask them to read it aloud. Each question acts as a thinking prompt and encourages interaction between the user and the Speech Language Pathologist, teacher or family member. Learners are encouraged to think deeply about the people in the pictures, the situations they are in and how they might feel. Question 1: Describe what you see in the picture Question 2: Identify how the other person is feeling Question 3: Discuss how you would feel in the same situation Question 4: Discuss what you would do in the same situation Question 5: Discuss a similar situation that has happened to you (if applicable) ACTIVITY 2: SHOWING CONCERN Look at the picture. Hear the scenario spoken aloud by the app, read it aloud for the user or ask them to read it aloud.  The user is asked to think about what they might say to the other person to express their interest or show their concern.
