”Anger Over Being Treated with Disrespect” - Accompanies Lesson: 4
Objectives
Students will:
- Understand that anger can result when a person feels treated unfairly, without respect, or misunderstood.
Discussion
Ask: “What’s happening in this picture?” This boy is being “made fun of” or teased by the others. How does he feel about this. He is angry. We know that anger can come from loss. Anger also comes when a person feels treated unfairly, without respect, or misunderstood. Ask the class to give other examples of anger resulting from being mistreated or treated unfairly. NOTE: It’s probably best not to ask for examples from the students’ own experiences as they may be embarrassing and painful to disclose.
Important: This discussion reflects only part of the instructional content presented in the LifeFacts: Managing Emotions Teaching Guide. Please carefully read the corresponding lesson(s) in the guide prior to instruction. We recommend that teachers develop their own discussion questions to fit the functioning levels of specific student audiences.
