Here is a lesson plan you can use to help teach about Anger Triggers, Anger Cues, our Fight or Flight Instinct, and Self-Mentoring techniques. The story is called “Angry Blake.”

Story Description: Blake was filled with fury. You could have cut the tension between his parents with a knife. They yelled at each other half the night, as Blake lay trembling and angry in his room. At school, he felt the need to vent that anger on some of the other students.

In this anti-bullying tale about Blake, Blake needs to learn to control his anger and to modify his bullying-type behavior. As for the kids around him, two students he bullies continues to be victims; whereas, two other students he bullies have great techniques to be bully free.
