 | The Anger Box If you have ever had a young student with a hot temper, this strategy can help.  Students learn to hand the teacher an "I Am Angry" card when there is a problem.  I have added clip art images of angry people to help youngsters who can�t read or/and ESL students.  It is highly successful.
