This social emotional learning lesson uses Sandra Cisneros's short story Eleven. During this SEL lesson, students read the short story, view a YouTube video, and reflect on their own stress responses. There are journal entries and opportunities for small and large group discussions as well.

This resource includes:

- links to all relevant materials

- an engaging Google Slides presentation to follow

- a lesson guide which lays out each step of the lesson along with timing

- a self-graded Google Form test

This resource could easily be used by a substitute.

This lesson has always been a favorite of my middle school students. The topic is enlightening for kids who have felt stress responses without understanding what is really happening in their brains and bodies (pretty much all kids). Eleven is a fantastic story to use when learning about stress response because readers are often frustrated by the way the main character responds to the stressor she faces. This is a great way to integrate SEL into an English class.

This product features an engaging "Effective Effort Talk" activity that will have your students thinking, writing, moving, and speaking about effective effort and growth mindset. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about effort from famous figures like John F. Kennedy and Theodore Roosevelt and articulate why the quote aligns with their own perspective using their own experiences to explain their opinion. I use this lesson every year to set the tone for the effort I expect for them to put into my class - it is a great way to gain insight about what they currently think about effort and can be referenced throughout the entire year!

Product includes:

• Comprehensive Lesson Plan
• "Effective Effort Talk" Sheet for students to fill out
• 6 Corresponding "Effort Quote" signs to hang up around your room

This lesson plan is recommended for middle and high school students in any class.

*Please keep in mind that bullying is NEVER ok. Teaching children how to handle hurt feelings does not mean that you tolerate bullying. If you feel that there is bullying behavior in your school, it is your responsibility as a teacher to end it.

Also included in this bundle is "How do they Feel?" Printable Book (my current best-selling product!)

This printable book is designed to help children identify the emotions that other people might be feeling. Each page contains an illustration of a child and a short description of what that child has experienced, followed by the question, "How does ____ feel?"

For example, on one page a girl is shown with an ice cream cone that has fallen to the ground. The text on that page says, "Ella dropped her ice cream cone on the sidewalk. How does Ella feel?"

Teachers or parents can use the mini-stories on each page to help children identify and talk about their own emotions as well as the emotions of others. Children are encouraged to look at facial features and body language to help to identify the feelings of other people.
