Lesson Plan 3: Anger Volcano
- Title: Anger Volcano: Exploring Frustration
- Objective: Students will learn to recognize signs of anger in themselves and others.
- Learning Outcomes:
- Students will name physical sensations associated with anger (e.g., red face, fast heart).
- Students will identify initial appropriate responses to anger (e.g., deep breath).
- Detailed Expansion:
- Activities: Use a "volcano" analogy to explain anger building up. Children draw angry faces and discuss what makes them feel angry. Practice "volcano breaths" (deep breath in, slow breath out like steam).
- Discussions: "What happens to our bodies when we get angry? Is it okay to feel angry? What can we do when we feel like an 'anger volcano'?"
- Assessments: Observe children's ability to demonstrate "volcano breaths" and name a physical sign of anger.
- SEL Alignment: SA (Identifying emotions), SM (Impulse control, stress management).
