Lesson Plan

Armor Building Blueprint

Equip a 10th grade student with mental tools—positive self-talk, grounding techniques, and reflective writing—to manage stress and anxiety. By session’s end, the student will practice two coping strategies and draft a personalized anxiety action plan.

Teaching these skills builds emotional resilience, reduces anxiety’s impact on learning, and empowers the student with self-efficacy. Early intervention supports long-term mental health and academic success.
