Week 6

2. Practising our ABCs
WALT: Practise using the ABC model to think about different events in our lives.
WILF:
A= I can identify the adversity
B= I can identify my beliefs and thinking about a certain situation (self talk)
C= I can recognise the consequence of the reaction in a situation. This is caused by my belief.
Slide 2
Read WALT and WILF

3. What is ABC? A – Is the adversity or negative event that takes place.
B – the beliefs and interpretations about the event/adversity (self talk)
C – is the consequences and how we feel and behave following the adversity.
Using the ABC model helps us to try and look on the bright side in any situation. We can learn to recognise negative beliefs (unhelpful thoughts) and try to change them to more optimistic (helpful) thoughts.
This will help us to cope with any adversity we may face.
Slide 3
Read: A – Is the adversity or negative event that takes place.
B – the beliefs and interpretations about the event/adversity.
C – is the consequences and how you feel and behave following the adversity.
Using the ABC model helps us to try and look on the bright side in any situation. This will help us cope with any adversity we may face.

4. Bonus: Can you think of another example?
Using your ABCs
Look at each picture to identify the Adversity, Belief, and Consequence. Can you think of a more helpful way of thinking?
Write your responses on the worksheet.
Bonus: Can you think of another example?
Slide 4
Discuss images first and complete one as a whole class. Students can then work by themselves or in pairs to complete the 3 remaining picture.
First picture
Adversity: Boy doesn’t want to read anymore
Belief: Positive- I’m already halfway through Negative: I’ve got so much more to read
Consequence : Positive- If I keep reading I get it finished faster Negative: I’m so sick of reading, I’m never reading again

5. Role Play In groups of 4 choose an adversity to role play.
Student 1 – Acts out/explains the adversity
Student 2 – Acts as the helpful inner voice
Student 3 – Acts as the unhelpful inner voice
Student 4 – Decides which inner voice to listen to and why, explaining the consequence of that belief.
