I overslept & was almost late to
school.
Action Chain
I wanted to stay home from school. Mom
said “No.”
I felt upset & disappointed.
 This chain is like a timeline.
 In each bubble, write 1 thing that led up to the action you
took.
 Use the questions on the other side to help.
 You may not use all the bubbles.
 If might be helpful to work backwards from the action.
I noticed I forgot my lunch @ home on the
counter.
Then, I find out that I have to
take a quiz in math.
I see my
friends whispering &
looking at me.
“I’m so stupid!” I feel tired & hungry.
INVESTIGATION REPORT
I think that they’re talking about me.
I feel hurt. My heart begins to race.
I’m getting mad.
I yell at my friends & call them names.
When the bubbles intersect they form a link. A series of linked bubbles makes a chain. This chain can be broken at a link. Where can you break this chain so you can act more skillfully next time?
I go to the Principal’s office.
