Lesson Plan

Reading Social Signals

Students will analyze facial expressions, body language, and tone to interpret emotions and adapt communication. Through discussions and role-plays, they’ll practice detecting social cues and responding appropriately.

Understanding social signals helps students navigate peer interactions, build empathy, and improve communication skills essential for positive relationships in and out of the classroom.
