- Focus on a different social skill for each unit (cooperation, respect, trustworthiness...)
- Brainstorm the meaning of the word with your students and record it on a web
- Brainstorm what behaviors you would SEE, or someone else would see, if a group member was demonstrating this character trait.

- Revisit the T-graph regularly to add to the list of behaviors, and refer to these specific behaviors when awarding group points.
