Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references
Before you begin
Recognize basic facial cues and name familiar feelings.
How to use this worksheet
- Model the target skill: identify core emotional states: Happy, Sad, Angry, Surprised, and Calm. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Recognize basic facial cues and name familiar feelings.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: A face is a clue rather than proof of a feeling; people can express the same emotion differently.
A common mistake to discuss
A face is a clue rather than proof of a feeling; people can express the same emotion differently.
