Lesson Plan
Expression Exploration Plan
By the end of this 25-minute one-on-one session, the student will identify four core facial expressions and two body language cues, map them to emotions and contexts, and accurately interpret nonverbal signals through guided practice and independent exercises.
Interpreting facial expressions and body language equips students with essential social communication skills, boosts confidence in peer interactions, and fosters better understanding of others’ emotions.
