Lesson Plan
Emotion Explorer Plan
Students will identify and name a range of emotions, understand personal triggers, and reflect on their feelings through interactive discussion, creative art, and journaling to build self-awareness.
Developing self-awareness helps students recognize and manage their emotions, leading to improved communication, empathy, and emotional regulation both in and out of the classroom.
