LI: To develop the skills to manage our emotions
SC:
I can … describe what an emotional trigger is
I can… describe the effect of an emotional trigger
I can… use emotional vocabulary
I can…. draw in detail
The children took part in a class discussion about the effect an emotional trigger had on their mood, describing how their mood changed after the emotional trigger. We looked specifically at emotional triggers which changed our moods from happiness to sad / angry. First we made a word bank of the
appropriate emotional vocabulary. The children created a picture to show their mood before the emotional trigger, then describe the emotional trigger and finally showed the change in their emotions after the emotional trigger. Once the drawing was complete the children had to use at least 5 examples of emotional vocabulary for each emotion. Some children presented their pictures to the class and discussed their change in emotions.
