Slide Deck

From Anxiety to Assurance

Introduce the slide deck with excitement and clarity. Explain that this deck will help them reflect on today's activities and see how they can transform anxiety into confidence. Encourage them to share whatever they feel comfortable with.

Key Takeaways

Dive into each bullet point with the class. Prompt them for examples or personal experiences and allow for a brief discussion on each point.

Reflect & Share

Invite students to think of a time they felt research or anxiety. Use this to connect the day's lesson with real-life experiences. Encourage volunteer sharing.

Use this slide to provide a visual break, incorporating either a calming image or video that is appealing to 7th graders. Explain how visualizing calmness boosts confidence.
