In this lesson, students will learn about the parts of the brain that influence emotions. They will discuss healthy and unhealthy ways to manage emotions and participate in a four corners activity to explore healthy management options. Finally, students will update their feelings wheel handouts by noting how core emotions impact how their bodies feel.
Students should have their Feelings Wheel Handouts out at the start of this lesson. They will reference the feelings wheel after their opening meditation and use it for an activity at the end of the lesson.
On Slide 11, students will participate in a four corners activity. Use four pieces of paper, labeled #1-#4, to designate the corners or the Four Corners Printout. Ensure there is enough space for students to move around the room safely.
Please ensure to pre-check videos before class, as internet policies may vary among schools, to ensure accessibility.
