Lesson Plan

Cool Your Fire Lesson Plan

Students will identify personal anger triggers and practice two coping strategies—deep-breathing and the Stop-Think-Act method—to manage anger and maintain focus and positive relationships.

Teaching anger management builds self-regulation skills that improve classroom behavior, friendships, and academic focus. Equipping students with practical tools empowers them to handle real-life frustrations calmly.
