their body physically reacted to the stress. Students jot down their thoughts in their
notebook.

situation (Think, Pair, Share Activity).
4. Have partner groups join with another partner group to make a group of four. Supply
each group of four with chart paper, markers, scissors, and tape. Have the groups
discuss and record the different body responses on large pieces of paper that they will
post beside the human body drawn on the board.

take notes during the class discussion using the worksheet.
