Lesson Plan

Forecasting Feelings Plan

Students will learn to identify and name four core emotions—happiness, sadness, anger, and anxiety—by matching each feeling to physical cues or thought patterns through interactive forecasting activities.

Building a rich emotional vocabulary and noticing body-based cues empowers students to self-manage, increase self-awareness, and make thoughtful choices before reacting.
