Slide 1: Title – Understanding Anger	Welcome to this Spoken Tutorial on Understanding Anger.
Slide 2: Hunter-gatherer scene	Thousands of years ago, humans lived in small tribes.
	When someone threatened their family or food, early humans experienced anger.
	Anger gave them energy to fight and protect their loved ones.
	It helped them ensure safety and unity of their group.
Transition slide: Today’s world	Today, life is different, but we still experience anger.
	It often shows up when something feels unfair.
	Repeated sadness or fear can also turn into anger.
	Let’s explore this through a story.
Illustration: Hostel friendship	Meera and Anjali were first-year students in a hostel.
	They ate together, studied together. They both became close friends.
	Anjali often missed home and felt lonely.
	But she rarely spoke about her feelings.
Sequence: Small incidents	As time passed, small events added to her sadness.
	Meera went shopping with another group of friends.
	Another day, she joined them for a late-night movie.
	At a college event, Meera sat with that group again.
	Anjali wasn’t invited to any of these plans.
Scene: The outburst	Each time, Anjali felt more left out.
	One evening in the mess, she saw Meera laughing with others.
	All her bottled-up sadness burst out as anger.
	“You’ve changed, Meera. You don’t care anymore!” She said angrily.
Scene: Anger’s signals	Notice Anjali’s body: her face has become red.
	Her jaw is tight, she is clenching her fist.
	Her heartbeat raced, and her breath was fast.
	These are anger’s early alarms.
Scene: Resolution	Later that night, Meera went to Anjali’s room.
	She said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you felt left out.”
	Anjali admitted, “I was hurt and felt lonely.”
	Meera listened and promised to include her.
	Both felt relieved after this conversation.
Breakdown slide	Let’s see how anger showed up for Anjali.
	As thoughts: “She doesn’t care about me anymore.”
	As body sensation: Red face, tight jaw, clenched fists, racing heart, fast breath.
	As feelings: Anger on the outside, sadness and fear of being left out inside.
Reflection slide	Like Anjali, we all feel anger sometimes.
	Anger often hides sadness or fear we don’t express.
	Anger is not always bad. It is a signal for fairness.
	If handled well, anger can bring people closer.
	But if anger goes out of control, it can damage trust and relationships.
	That’s why it must be expressed with care.
Slide: Summary	Let’s summarize. Anger protected early humans.
	Today, anger often comes from hurt, sadness, or fear.
	Anger is a powerful energy — it must be managed with care.
Slide: Assignment	As an assignment, write about a time you felt angry.
	Was it linked to sadness or fear?
	Describe your thoughts, body sensations, and actions.
	Share it with a friend or a family member.
Closing slide	With this, we come to the end of the tutorial on anger.
