Lesson Plan

Mirror Exercise Outline

In this structured 30-minute one-on-one session, the student will identify and label personal emotions, observe and reflect on their own emotional expressions in a mirror, connect those emotions to hypothetical others’ experiences, and articulate empathetic responses.

Building self-awareness and empathy empowers students to better manage their feelings and to respond compassionately in social situations. This individualized approach meets the unique emotional needs of a Tier 3 learner.
