Complete Lesson Introduction:

Begin the lesson by asking the class to reflect on their week. Pose questions like:

1. Presentation (15 minutes): Use a PowerPoint presentation to introduce types and sources of stress, its effects on health, and the importance of stress management.
2. Group Discussion (15 minutes): Divide learners into small groups and assign them to discuss common stressors for teenagers. Each group will present their findings.
3. Demonstration (10 minutes): Show a video demonstrating relaxation techniques. Discuss the key points and facilitate a brief Q&A session.

Assessment:

• How to Assess?: Use a combination of formative assessment (group participation, worksheet completion) and summative assessment (personal goal worksheet).
• What (Knowledge of…/ Ability to…): Knowledge of stress management techniques and ability to set achievable personal goals.
• By Who?: Teacher will assess group discussions and individual worksheets.

Inclusive Strategies:

• Accommodating Learners at Risk: Provide additional support by pairing them with a buddy during group discussions and offering modified resources if needed.
