Exploring Emotions
A unit of work I put together whilst working inside a secondary school's behavioural unit. The idea was that these lessons would develop the students ability to apply a vocabulary to emotions that they may struggle to recognise, feel, express or talk about in themselves and others. By helping them with this vocabulary, the theory was that they would be better able to reintegrate into the school environment and stay there.
It had mixed results, some students showed improvements, others less so. Either way, someone out there will hopefully find this useful.
The materials cover the following topics:
Feeling Afraid
Feeling Angry
Feeling Ashamed
Feeling Bored
Feeling Happy
Feeling Helpless
Feeling Lonely
Feeling Loved
Feeling Sad
Each "feeling" has an associated wordsearch and accompanying answer sheet. Most of these also have a whole lesson attached to them - there are some anomalies.
You'll need a copy of the AQA Sunlight on the Grass anthology story "Compass and Torch" too.
Some feedback would be useful folks. I've moved away from this type of work but would like to return to it - be nice to know if my ideas have worked elsewhere.
