Reflection: Emotional responses
Summary of task
Students participated in a games unit focusing on social interactions and emotions. They identified their own and others' emotions using a classroom chart of ‘feelings faces’. Students identified how their reactions might make others feel, talked about how they could work with others cooperatively and shared strategies for solving problems that might occur.
Students were asked to identify one or more emotions that they experienced during the lessons and suggest how each emotion might have made others feel. Students were also asked to identify a time when they had to ask for help – during the lessons or at home – and identify caring or helpful things they did during the lessons.
The teacher scribed answers where needed.
This assessment task relates to the focus areas: safety, mental health and wellbeing, and relationships and sexuality.
