Lesson Plan

Expedition Guide

Students will embark on a guided “Emotion Expedition” to identify, name, and discuss at least five core emotions using a collaborative map activity, fostering self-awareness and peer communication.

Building emotional literacy helps 9th graders recognize internal states, articulate feelings, and develop healthier coping strategies—key skills for academic success and peer relationships.
