Processes: (Procedures)
Before we start the activity, I will make a sample of the activity. I will draw and cut each and
paste each emotion icon onto a paper plate, next, I will tape a craft stick to the bottom of each
paper plate to form a handle. We will talk about emotions or feelings. I will explain to them that
people have many different emotions, and your emotions or feelings can change depending on
the things that happen to you such as losing a toy will make you sad or feeling excited when it’s
time to go outside. We will practice the emotions and do something that will help us remember
it.
Teaching Strategies:
I will show the face with a happy face and let them know that it is a happy emotion then ask
them “what emotion is this?”. I will encourage them to answer all together.
DAP:
This activity is developmentally appropriate because the students recognize self as a unique
individual having own abilities, characteristics, emotion, and interest. Writes for a variety of
purposes using increasingly sophisticated marks.
