SEL Topic: Self Awareness, Social Awareness, Self-Management
This unit explores the topic of emotion identification and classification. It addresses emotional literacy and provides students with practice in looking at the nuances and granularity of emotions. A mood meter check-in and 48 emotion cards are included to help students practice identifying and classifying emotions. There are several different ways in which the "emotion cards" can be used to further support emotional fluency.
The unit also looks at big emotions, outbursts, flipping your lid and the brain, the anger iceberg, invisible backpacks, things in and outside our control, mindfulness strategies, button pushing, the analogy of the volcano when it comes to big emotions, and the difference between a reaction and a response.
There are student activity pages to accompany these big ideas.
