Dealing with Stress

Dealing with Stress | Companion Activity supports understanding of stress and coping strategies from the life skills video through interactive tasks. Students respond to yes/no and WH-questions, sequence calming steps, and retell the video using visuals. Problem-solving activities help identify stressful situations and select calming solutions. Language development includes categorization of feelings, compare/contrast of calm vs. stressed states, and utterance expansion using present progressive verbs and emotion vocabulary. These exercises promote emotional regulation and resilience.
