Introduce the lesson by sharing the title. Explain that today we'll be talking about test anxiety, what it is, and why it's important to manage it. Invite students to think about times they felt nervous before a test.

Discuss what test anxiety is. Ask students to share any thoughts on how it feels physically or emotionally. Use this slide to promote awareness of the signs of anxiety.

Talk about the importance of recognizing physical and emotional signs. Encourage students to think of times when they experienced these signs.

Present the first coping strategy: deep breathing. Demonstrate the technique slowly, reminding students to practice it when feeling anxious.

Incorporate a guided breathing exercise video to give students a visual and interactive experience of the deep breathing technique.

Introduce another strategy: positive self-talk. Encourage students to create their own affirmations, and ask them to share examples if they wish.

Engage students with an interactive question. Ask them to share additional strategies or ask questions about the techniques they've learned.

Summarize the lesson and review the key points. Encourage students to practice these strategies and reflect on which ones work best for them.
