to make connections between ones actions and the effects (Smith, 2005). The last step is then to apply the concept in new circumstances or situations that fall within the range
of the generalization (Smith, 2005). What we then have is a learner using concrete experiences to test ideas and then using feedback to change either the actions and/or the
theories (Smith, 2005). The following pages discuss anger and anger management incorporating Kolbs four elements of learning in a hypothetical class. Anger-What is it First, anger is a
