I structured this task from pictures that I found on the Do2learn.com website. This is a great task to use with beginning readers. Here the individual chooses which picture fits the emotion and there is a clear place to put the answer. There are several pictures available on the website--again many of which are quite complex, but you can easily pick out the ones you think your child/client is ready for. I wish that more of the photos were of children, but the pictures tend to be pretty clear in depicting the various emotions.
This is a task that Abby structured (mine wasn't nearly as pretty :) also from the Do2learn website. On the front page of a folder you can just put a pocket or envelope to put the emotion cards in and then when you open up the folder there are various written descriptions of situations that elicit different emotions. This is a great task for middle school age children, adolescents, or even adults. There are three different levels of complexities that you can print and an answer key is provided (there are several emotions that can fit in more than one place which may require the individual with whom you are doing the task to do some switching around if necessary). Again, you can use this activity to talk about situations that apply to the individual and even make up your own activity based on situations you know the person has encountered. Word of Caution: some of the photos in this task are questionable, well one in particular is of a man that looks pretty creepy, so if it weirds you out, then simply don't include that one!
Have a great weekend everyone :)

Awesome... Thank you. Emotions are something we are working on.
ReplyDeleteSure thing, thanks for reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, as always. I especially like how you covered up the word in the first book- that's so smart. And now I'm off to find pictures of the creepy man, just because you have me curious. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Several of the pictures aren't ideal, especially when working with kids. I think it is a wonderful task that parents could use pictures of their own child to make it more meaningful for them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info and website. This is an area that is so grey for my son, he's seven. We've been working with emotions on and off and it seems to be one of the harder things for him to grasp. Thanks for the info!!
ReplyDeleteHope you find the resources helpful, Lizbeth! Would love to hear your progress!
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
