Behaviours and consequences

Unit of Work – Resource ID No: WELL1

This topic will develop students’ awareness of the consequences of their behaviour and develop their interpersonal skills.

This topic is made up of seven parts. You can present them one at a time or follow on depending on the needs of your students and the time you have available.

Learning Intentions

When students have finished this topic, they will be able to:

  • identify the ways you can respond to other people’s behaviour
  • act assertively when interacting with other people
  • be aware of their own and other people’s non-verbal communication
  • deal constructively with anger and conflict
  • be aware of helpful and unhelpful behaviours

They will learn these skills by:

  • Participating in group discussions
  • Watching a video
  • Completing worksheets
  • Doing a survey
  • Brainstorming possible solutions and strategies
