Communication Styles – Passive/Assertive/Aggressive
, Not Grade Specific,
Communication Styles introduces the idea that how people speak to one another matters. The lesson distinguishes passive, assertive, and aggressive approaches, then asks learners to represent all three styles in comics built around the same friendship scenario. Holding the situation constant makes differences in language, tone, boundaries, and likely outcomes easier to compare. The activity supports discussion of respectful self-expression without claiming that one isolated response defines a person’s character.

Traffic Light Feelings – SEL Self-Regulation Lesson
, Not Grade Specific,
In this 7-slide Google Slides Lesson Presentation, students will learn about the Traffic Light Feelings. This is a self-regulation tool that helps students identify when they are being unsafe, have a big emotion, and need to stop. Red feelings are feelings that are BIG such as really angry, scared, unsafe, or out of control. Students will learn the phrase STOP, SLOW AND GO strategy. The yellow light represents feelings that are silly, excited, worried, stressed, or frustrated. The green light represents feelings that are good for class, with peers in the class or when they need to focus on a task. There is a sorting activity with 18 sorting cards. Some of the scenarios on the cards are; kids who are too excited and silly with their parent, a child who is very upset and visibly crying, 2 kids arguing, 2 kids fighting, a child who is calm, a child who is reading, a child who is proud about graduating, a child who is raising their hand, a child in their own personal space bubble, a child who is frustrated about breaking a toy, a child who is thinking, a child who is running from a crocodile, children who are jumping in excitement, a child scared about talking in front of an audience, etc. First, you can show the 7 slide presentation with animations throughout the presentation. Next, the students will work in partners/group to do the sorting activity. They will get a sorting sheet and 18 cards. Print off a sorting sheet and 18 cards for each partnership/group. Lastly, invite students back at their own desk to colour in their traffic light colouring sheet and think of the different feelings represented in each light. There are 7 slides in the presentation for the class and there are 5 slides that contain the sorting activity, sorting cards, and colouring sheet.
