Lesson Plan

Emotion Recognition Blueprint

Students will learn to recognize, name, and reflect on emotions by analyzing facial cues, role-playing scenarios, and completing a guided diary entry, culminating in shared strategies for emotional awareness.

Developing self-awareness boosts students’ ability to manage stress, build healthy relationships, and improve academic focus by equipping them to identify and regulate emotions.
