Accept that anger is a normal emotion experienced by all students. For those who can't control it, provide a calm, safe cool-down spot. Equip the cool-down area with current issues of popular magazines, writing paraphernalia, koosh balls (great for squeezing to release tension and anxiety), and, most importantly, access to you just as soon as the rest of the class is engaged in an activity. Angry students need a place and a method to calm themselves in order to begin to deal with their anger productively. Ask them to complete a brief anger log to document what happened and why.
