Instruction:
Anticipatory Set / Make Connection (learner’s strengths & interests) / Modeling / Direct instruction and
Guided practice
Intro: Today we are going to talk about how emotion looks on faces. People often show what they
are feeling on their face, and today we are going to practice recognizing the emotion on peoples
faces.
Ant Set: By recognizing these emotions, we will be able to work on new social skills for the next
several weeks that will help you win friends and keep the ones you already have. Some emotions can
be pretty tricky to see, and sometimes several emotions can show at once. These students do a good
job of showing how they feel on their face. Let’s watch what they do.
Modeling: We will watch the video, correlating emotions to facial expressions picture by picture after
it finishes. CFU:: I will ask the class to mention an emotion that they saw in the video. Each
expression shows one or more emotion and certain people can show feelings differently, but there are
some basic clues in the pictures that can tell us what the people in the images is feeling. I will show
images corresponding to the emotion listed below, and explain how I deduce what they are feeling.
CFU:: done after each image, asking a student what the emotion displayed in the image is.
1. Happy: Lips and mouth are creating a smile
2. Sad: Eyebrows drop, lips are pursed, tense forehead
3. Afraid: Eyebrows elevated, mouth open, tense forehead
4. Tired: Eyelids droopy, head resting, hunched posture, relaxed face and body
5. Angry: Eyebrows pushed together, forehead wrinkled, lips pursed, posture tense
6. Excited: Eyebrows up, eyes wide open, open mouth smile, tense cheeks
7. Surprised: Mouth open, eyebrows spread and raised, eyes wide open, sometimes smiling
8. Bored: Droopy eyes, little/no eye contact or wandering gaze, eyebrows lowered
9. Calm: Hands in lap or on table, relaxed posture, relaxed forehead and cheeks
10. Proud: Sitting/standing straight (solid posture), focused eyes, smiling
11. Love: Hugging, smiling, at ease
12. Shy: Hiding face, looking down, avoiding eye contact
Independent Practice: Class will be split into groups of 3, each receiving 1-2 images to identify an
emotion and why they feel that way. Peer mentors will help guide the groups to identify both the
emotion they see and justify why. After 30 seconds, each group will trade images and begin the
process new.
Closure (Student voice):
Show 1-3 pics of each of the 12 emotions discussed and alternate between having the entire class
