Instruction:

As students come into room, have calming stress relieving music softly playing, pictures of calming scenes (beautiful woods, stillness, sea shore) projected on a screen (if done with a computer, have them rotating slowly), lights low, etc. The idea is to make the atmosphere as peaceful as possible. Teacher will explain what relaxation means: the state of being free from tension and anxiety. Teacher will write definition on the board and also write 3 relaxation techniques students can put in their notes- visual imagery, breathing techniques, and progressive muscle relaxation. Teacher will sample 3 relaxation techniques using the script and description attached. Be sure to model clear behavioral expectations before starting. Students will write a journal entry of which relaxation technique they like most and why. In the journal entry they must also list their second favorite type. Students must also list 2 things they can do to relax in their own life and define relaxation. Raise hands to see what the favorite relaxation type was. Preview that next lesson we will be summing it all up.
