Lesson+1

1. Introduction to emotion and facial expressions

At the end of the lesson students will be able to identify and match facial parts that express different emotions. The teacher will walk in the classroom with an exaggerated expression of happiness or excitement. Initially the teacher will not say anything to the students. After a minute or two ask the students: “What do you think I was trying to say to everyone?” Teacher is waiting for response from the students who should respond: “You were trying to say that you are happy.” The teacher will ask: “How do you know that I was happy?” The teacher will get the student’s attention to focus on his face: eyebrows, mouth, eyes, etc. and tell them that our face can tell someone else how we feel inside. These are called facial expressions. What we feel inside are called emotions. UDL (multiple means of presentations): Students will also watch videos and other pictures on computer. The teacher will play a short video (Mind Reading video – happy situation) and pause it when the character starts smiling. Then the teacher will demonstrate how you can use mouth, eyes and eyebrows to show others that you are happy. [|Mind Reading - learning center] Captured with [|Jing]
