In the Grade 1 Health curriculum there is a unit on Social Relationships. In this unit you are to teach students about emotions. For example the emotions they show through their facial expressions, their posture and gestures. Students will start by categorizing "good" (or positive) feelings and "bad" (or negative) feelings. I will then teach students about feeling such as joy, anger, sadness, jealously, fear and frustration. I found a great website to teach the students about Social Relationships and about emotions. This website has pictures of different characters that are showing different types of emotions.
I would have the students go to this website and see the different types of emotions. I would make them go through all the pictures and write down which emotion they think that the picture is displaying. These pictures would allow the students to discover the different facial expressions that can be shown to display different emotions. I would then assign a specific emotion to each of the students in the class to act out to their classmates. For example I would ask one student to show facial expressions of someone who is sad or happy or anger. I would then have the students write down which emotion each student was acting out. Doing this will allow the students a bunch of different ways to understand facial expression
Having the students go to this website to see what different facial emotions look like is an interactive way to teach social relationships. It makes it fun for students to be able to go to this site and see first hand what these emotions look like. I believe students would really benefit and understand quickly what facial expressions are all about.
Have a great day!
