Introduction (5 Minutes)

1. Greeting and Introduction:

   • Welcome students to the class.
   • Introduce the topic of resilience and explain why it’s important to learn how to bounce back after facing difficulties.

2. Engage with a Question:

   • Ask students: “Can anyone think of a time when something didn’t go the way you wanted? How did that make you feel?”
   • Encourage a few students to share their experiences.

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Introduce Key Vocabulary:

   • Setback: Something that stops you from achieving what you want.
   • Resilience: The ability to recover after difficulties.

2. Read a Story:

   • Read a short story or fable that illustrates the concept of resilience. Encourage students to pay attention to how the characters handle their setbacks and what they do to overcome them.

3. Discuss the Story:

   • Ask guiding questions:
     • What were the challenges the character faced?
     • How did they feel when things didn’t go their way?
     • What did they do to overcome their challenges?

Guided Practice (10 Minutes)

1. Brainstorming Session:

   • Write on the whiteboard: “Things that can feel disappointing” (examples: losing a game, not being selected for a team).
   • Invite students to contribute to the list.

2. Resilience Strategies:

   • Introduce simple strategies for bouncing back (e.g., talking to a friend, taking a deep breath, thinking of something positive). Write these on chart paper in a space labeled "Bouncing Back Strategies."

3. Group Activity:

   • Divide students into small groups and assign each group a setback scenario (e.g., losing a favorite toy, getting a less-than-perfect grade).
   • Ask them to come up with a plan that includes at least two strategies from the "Bouncing Back Strategies" chart.

Closing Activity (5 Minutes)

1. Role Play:

   • Have each group present their scenario and their bouncing back plan. Encourage them to role-play their scenario briefly.

2. Reflection:

   • Hand out sticky notes and ask students to write one thing they learned about resilience and how they can apply it.
   • Have them stick their notes on a designated “Resilience Wall” in the classroom.

Conclusion (5 Minutes)

1. Summarize the Lesson:

   • Recap the importance of resilience and the strategies learned for handling setbacks.

2. Encourage Continued Discussion:

   • Invite students to share their thoughts on resilience whenever they encounter challenges in the future.

3. Closing Remark:

   • Remind them that it’s okay to feel sad or frustrated, but it’s also important to learn how to get back up again!

Assessment

• Observations during group discussions and role plays.
• Review of sticky notes on the “Resilience Wall” to gauge students' understanding.
