Instructional Ideas
- Use in a health class, language arts class, or peer-counseling group
- Prompt kids to expand their reflections about stress into longer narrative essays
- Bring the questions and activities into your classroom to inspire discussion
Classroom Considerations
- Designed for high school students, but you could use the activities with mature middle schoolers
- Some discussion topics may be sensitive; establish a classroom atmosphere where participants feel safe sharing their feelings and experiences

Pros
