Positive and Negative Effects of Stress<br />
Instructions:<br />
1. Introduce the topic of stress with the riddle: What Am I? Use the Teacher Resource<br />
(Overheads) to initiate the discussion.<br />
2. Present basic information on stress using overheads (Teacher Resource- Overheads).<br />
Students should take notes or be provided with a handout.<br />
3. Distribute and explain the assignment: Stress Journal (see Student Resource- Journal<br />
Template). Clarify how positive and negative events can be stressful and explain that<br />
students should provide examples of both. Ask students to distinguish between:<br />
a) physical symptoms Ð sweating, blushing, heart racing, etc.<br />
b) emotions Ð anger, excitement, fear, pride, embarrassment, etc.<br />
c) thoughts Ð ÒWow!Ó, ÒIÕm such a loserÓ, etc.<br />
d) behavioural reactions Ð biting fingernails, hugging, crying, cheering, etc.<br />
4. Students will:<br />
• complete a five day Stress Journal<br />
• identify causes of stress and the effects on their bodies, emotions and behaviour<br />
5. Upon completion of the journal entries, students will share some of their examples.<br />
Have them write examples from their journal responses on the blackboard (or large<br />
flip chart sheets). Note: Responses offered will depend on the studentÕs comfort level.<br />
6. Students reflect on and complete a worksheet, by filling in each cell with an<br />
explanation of the sources of stress they have experienced.<br />
