    • Have them roleplay these COLD and HOT responses.
    • Have students identify the LOOKING, THINKING, AND ACTING elements of a COOL response in the same situation.
    • Have students roleplay the COOL response for these situations.
  2. Have students roleplay the following situations using HOT, COLD and COOL responses and the "Asking To Stop" process. You may draw from the following examples or tailor the roleplays to fit your student's life experiences.

Teacher Note: Provide ample practice in using the 4-Step Assertion Plan:

Step 1: Tell what behavior you don't like.

Step 2: Tell how the behavior makes you feel.

Step 3: Tell what behavior you want instead.

Step 4: If you don't get to an agreement, tell what will happen if you can't work things out.

  1. A friend won't stop teasing you about your "ugly pimply face."
  2. Your big brother teases you about your underdeveloped body.
  3. Classmates tease you about your "stupid school project."
  4. A classmate makes a racial/ethnic remark about your heritage.
