Lesson Plan
One-Minute Refusal Plan Template
Students quickly identify four substance categories, articulate a 3-part refusal plan (what to say, where to go, who to tell), and select one healthy alternative to choose instead—all within one minute.
This micro-lesson builds students’ awareness of harmful substances and reinforces assertive refusal skills. It empowers them to make safe, healthy choices and to confidently seek support when faced with peer pressure.
