Lesson Plan
Emotional Weather Plan
Students will learn to identify and express emotions by linking them to weather metaphors and create personal “emotional weather maps” to articulate their feelings.
Helping young learners recognize and communicate feelings builds emotional intelligence, supports self-awareness, empathy, and healthy social interactions from an early age.
