Introduce the lesson by emphasizing that every behavior is a conscious choice. Ask students to think about times they've had to make a choice and the impact of that decision. Use this slide to set the stage for the discussion.

Explain the idea that even when situations are tough, students have the power to choose a positive response. Provide examples from everyday school life and encourage questions.

Present a few scenarios that depict challenging situations students might face. Ask the students to discuss in pairs or small groups possible positive responses and then share with the class.

Wrap up the lesson by summarizing the key idea and adding a reflective prompt. Encourage students to write down or share one positive choice they can commit to in a future challenging situation.
