Content: Heath; Mental or Emotional Health

Learning Activity:

1.    Construct a story about a fictional character who is dealing with a specific emotion.

2.    The story should explain the emotion without giving the actual title of the emotion and show how the character took steps to deal with the emotion.

3.    Explanation of character mood is key to understanding the emotion being brought forth.

4.    The students will have a full period to write their stories and be prepared to share them with the class during the following period.

5.    The students will read their stories to the class and have the class guess what emotion the character in the story is dealing with.

6.    The class can then give examples or tips on how to deal with the emotion, or how they feel when they experience an emotion such as fear or happiness.
