Topic: Reading Emotions

Learning Intention:
Students can use other peoples face and body and know how they are feeling.

Success Criteria:
1. Students recognise a scenario in which these emotions will be present
2. Can look at someones face and body and be able to know if it is a
comfortable or uncomfortable feeling.
3. Think of at least one way to be helpful when someone is feeling
uncomfortable

AusVELS:
Interpersonal Skills- Through activities such as reading, discussion and roleplay, students learn to recognise and describe the feelings and emotional
responses of others. They compare these with their own emotional responses
and adjust their behaviour in response.

Assessment:
Informal Students participate in whole group discussions, pair and group work.

Resources:
paper for poster and camera
Bounce Back Bear
PowerPoint slides on Reading Emotions
Sorting out

Coloured A4

Feeling Cards
Practicing reading emotio

Lesson Structure

Lesson Plan

Meditation (10 mins)

Revision - what we did last week (different emotions and what happens on inside and
outside when experiencing these, list a few emotions and get them to do label them as
comfortable and uncomfortable. (3-5mins)
PowerPoint look at half the slides (HAPPY, SAD, and WORRIED) and make a poster about it.
Discuss and add on the poster
-name of emotion
-comfortable/uncomfortable
-how has the faces changed to show emotion (outside smile, bright eyed)
- what are they feeling inside
- how do u you feel looking at the emotion (10mins)
- what can u do if you saw someone feeling this?
At the end students make a face of the emotion and we pick the best one to go to wall and
get a picture of the emotion for our poster.
In group of 4, students grab a few farm animals and they have to come up with a scenario
(using their farm animals to model) of a situation AT SCHOOL where they felt their emotion
(teacher assigns each group one of the above 3). Each group plays it out in front of class.
(3+7= 10 mins). [This allows students to have a break from sitting on the floor and produce
their own work].
After presentations (students can stay at the area of room they are at or come back to the
floor), the class continues the PowerPoint slides to the other 3 emotions (EXCITED,
SURPRISED and WORRIED). Repeat as above (10 mins).
If theres time, students can play charades where they pick out a card from feeling cards
and have to mime out a scenario. House points for the person who gets the answer of the
situation and emotion and 2 house points for someone who tries to mime out disappointed,
worried or angry. [This engages them in the last little bit of the lesson and also refreshes
their memory].

Differentiated Learning:
Students are working in groups and pairs of multi-ability people in order to expand
their
hideas and way of thinking. Students are presented with scenarios and answers
constantly so even if some concepts arent understood, they are always discussed
after. Also, making posters with the students allows them to relate to them and are
more likely to use these posters as guides at a later time.
