Health, Friday, Period 3
The classroom has been outfitted with lavender and jasmine-scented candles, soft mats and pillows instead of desks, and soothing instrumental music is playing. Elliot is sitting in front of the class in a kind of modified lotus position, and she nods to students to take a handout as they come in.
"Namaste," Elliot said, trying to look serene. "Today we're going to talk about stress relief, or the things you do when life is putting a lot of pressure on you and you're having a hard time coping. This room is arranged to be a serene environment. (Assuming no one's allergic to the oils in the candles, anyhow -- if you are, let me know and I'll put them out.) I have a quiz for you to take to measure your stress level, and then I'd like for each of you to tell the class about something you do to relieve stress, whether it's yoga or or playing with a pet or sleep or shopping or ... hiding in the supply closet and bawling your eyes out, not that I would ever do anything like that. Talk to each other about your techniques, and hopefully you'll get some new ideas about relaxation techniques before the end of class."
After the students had had time to fill out the quiz, Elliot pointed to a student at random. "What do you do to relieve stress?"
