Description
This is a lesson on mindfulness, based upon a TED Talk (20:12), that addresses the socio-emotional need of recognizing our physiological responses to stress and offers strategies to address them.
This lesson series is appropriate for students with whom you have an opportunity to teach and connect over authentic issues that affect our life and leadership! I love the conversation that these kinds of talks inspire with my students. All lessons have a teen-friendly TED Talk, a two-page print and GO! lesson, an exit ticket, and an answer key. I created these lessons with grades 7-10 in mind, specifically for my 9th grade AVID class. They are also appropriate for ASB, study skills, leadership, health, counseling, PAL, homeroom, and sub plans.

I am working to build my TPT presence. If you enjoy my lessons, I would appreciate it if you would consider "following me" and sharing your rating. :)
I have been a middle and high school English teacher for 29 years, and only in the past five have I been teaching leadership and AVID classes as well. This lesson guides students to capture the “big ideas” of the talk, and it includes an “about/point,” which is a summarizing strategy. I have included suggestions on the answer key to guide your instruction and integrate writing as a vehicle for helping students synthesize their learning across the curriculum.
Have an absent student? The QR code to each talk is printed on the lesson. Leave a copy of the lesson plan, answer key, and directions for how to cue up the Ted Talk, and you have a great emergency sub plan as well.
Happy Teaching!
