Lesson Plan

Emotion Expedition Plan

Students will identify and articulate their emotions, exploring how their feelings influence their thoughts and behaviors through interactive check-ins, group discussion, and charades.

Developing emotional intelligence helps students self-regulate, build empathy, and strengthen relationships—critical skills for academic and personal success.
