This document outlines an activity called "Day of the Count" which has several objectives: 1) to explore situations similar to the students' own experiences, 2) to develop language skills and emotional intelligence, and 3) to introduce and strengthen the use of peripheral computer tools and technology. The methodology involves choosing and reading a story suited to the students' ages, and then working on the emotions or feelings in the story using an online resource for images of emotions and feelings. The chosen story is "Lila has a little brother" and conclusions are that the students enjoyed choosing and viewing the story at their own pace, recognized emotions in the game, and are increasing their emotional intelligence in a fun, relatable way.
