______________________________________________ACTIVITIES

Name of Exercise:Emotional Sculptures

Expected Length: (in minutes)Activity- 2 minutes. Discussion- 5 minutes

Purpose: (why is this exercise included in the lesson)So the students may identify what anger looks like in a person, physically.

Detailed instructions: (how will this exercise be explained to the group) The class will be split into partners via popsicle sticks One will be the sculpture, one will be the artist Ask the artists to sculpt their statues into an “angry” position. Give 30 seconds for this. Stress that the statues have to be in a

position that they can hold (no standing on one foot) and the artists cannot touch the statue.

Once the statues have frozen, we will go around to each statue and point out a physical feature that shows anger on them (clenched muscles, fists, sharp angles, red faces, powerful poses)

Instructor will ask for the people who point out different angry features to write them on the white board

Next the class will switch partners and show anger again, instructor will encourage creativity, choose something that has not been done yet!

They will examine the frozen statues and point out physical features which represent anger on a person.

Instructor will ask for the people who point out different features to write them on the white board

Instructor will then point out different ways that people can show

anger. This can include slamming the door, yelling or speaking sharply

Name of Exercise:Angry Situations

Expected Length: (in minutes)20 minutes

Purpose: (why is this exercise included in the lesson)So the students have a chance to enact escalating conflict, and as a group, figure out how to de-escalate the situation or neutralize it. Detailed instructions: (how will this exercise be explained to the group)

Split the class into groups of 3 Tell each group to find their own space in the classroom Give each group a specific conflict written on a piece of paper, tell

them they have 5 minutes to rehearse this skit before performing it in front of the class.

Call groups up to front based on volunteers. Stress the importance of applause .

After each group goes, brainstorm with the class what they could have done in that situation to control their anger, and neutralize the situation. ASK FOR HANDS!

Purpose: (why is this exercise included in the lesson)To review what we have learned in class today as well as explain the homework that will be sent home with the students to do with their parents. Detailed instructions: (how will this exercise be explained to the group)

The instructor will go over what physical characteristics we have associated with anger and also review what methods we have used to diffuse situation.
