Lesson Plan
Stress Busters Lesson Plan
Students will identify personal stress signals, engage with a multimedia stress‐relief demonstration, practice the 4-7-8 breathing technique, share in pairs, and design a personalized self-care plan while reflecting on their mood shifts.
Adding a quick warm-up, video hook, peer sharing, and an exit reflection boosts engagement and helps students internalize stress-management strategies more deeply.
