EMOTIONAL STATES LESSON PLAN
This page is a free-shared lesson plan archive for teaching all educational subjects within the context and theme of “Emotional States”. It is purposed for use in community education environments, homeschool environments, traditional schooling environments, or as a supplemental and fun addition to any education program. As part of the complete Education for Life Program, this lesson plan is specifically designed to work in conjunction with the other components: Foundations of Teaching, Curriculum, Teaching Strategies, Learning Tools and Toys, Evaluation Model, and The Ultimate Classroom. If you’d like to learn how all these components work together, click here. Click here for the specifics focused on just using the lesson plans:

A NOTE ABOUT ALL ONE COMMUNITY LESSON PLANS
The One Community lesson plans are intentionally designed for use in ANY educational environment and with ALL educational, cultural, religious/spiritual, and philosophical approaches to teaching and learning. They are designed without an ideological approach and specifically so they can be adapted to include the views, preferences, methodologies, and/or ideologies preferred by different parents and teachers.
For maximum flexibility and adaptation, they are also designed to be combined to teach multiple subjects at the same time. Doing this increases the creativity, effectiveness, and fun of your learning environment. Once we are on the property and operating our version of the complete school and Education for Life program, we will be adding video examples of how to combine the lessons. In the meantime, visit the Teaching Strategies page for a list of suggestions.

TEACHING ARTS AND TRADES WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EMOTIONAL STATES
|
|
The Arts
- Create your own feelings plate* of 10 emotions(using a feelings template like the one described by Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions or another type you find). Talk about the times when you feel these emotions.
- Look at a representation of of how feelings relate to each other. Then choose three pairs of opposite emotions and use them to create an emotions diorama* that reflects how these emotions are different.
- Choose at least two emotional states, and create* a photograph, drawing performance art piece or song for each one of these. If possible, show them to others, and start a discussion on emotions.
- Create a ceramic piece, painting, hairstyle, or meal* that shows at least six emotions of your choice.
- Create a mosaic, quilt, piece of metal work, or song* celebrating the whole range of emotions, from basic emotions to complex ones (using Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions or another reference).
- Using your art medium of choice*, express how you are feeling at this very moment. Do this again when you are feeling differently, and compare the two pieces.
- Create* a set of plush toys, ceramic figures or puppets, and design a program using these to teach children about emotions, how to deal with one’s emotions and how to express them.
|
|
Trades
- Think of different materials and how they feel (e.g. wool versus glass). Think of five different emotions and which materials you would use to describe them. Create a visual presentation or display*.
- Create a set of 24 or more cards* for a memory game, based on emotional states. Play the game alone and with others.
- Write a cartoon* about or including the presence of different emotions and then create a short animation*.
- Create a Feel Good Jar* using pottery or any other technique you would like. For a period of time that you set, write down every time you experience a nice emotion and what made you feel this way. At the end of the period, empty the contents and read what you have written on those strips of paper.
- Investigate the link between colors and emotions. Then create a presentation with a display* that shows how this applies to a trade/industry of your choice (e.g. graphic design, branding, tourism, interior design).
- Create a professional-level piece* (such as a set of wood carvings, metal work, etc.) to teach people of all ages about emotions and how to express them in healthy ways.
- Create a designer furniture set or interior decoration plan* for an entire home themed on celebrating the spectrum of human emotions.

ENGLISH

Note: Any language can be substituted for English. The subject is listed here as “English” because that is the primary language of most of the people on the team, and the official language of the country we’re building our initial location in.
|
TEACHING ENGLISH WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EMOTIONAL STATES
|
|
- Identify* 3 words/sentences that are polite to use when feeling negative emotions, and which ones are not. Share your findings with 3 others and get their ideas for any additional polite ones.
- Create a list* of 10 good listening skills and things you can say/do when others are expressing their emotions.
- What are constructive ways to express emotions? Research this and write a 2 page essay* about what you have learned and ways that you can practice it in real life.
- Read a fictional piece of your choice and write a book report*, briefly summarizing the book and analyzing the characters, focusing on their emotional states, how and why they were in various emotional states, and how they dealt with them.
- Read a piece of classical fiction of your choice, at your own reading level and originating from any culture (in English translation). Write a report* discussing the character’s different emotions, ways of expressing their emotions, the results of the way they reacted to or expressed these emotions and how the outcome may have been different if they had handled or expressed their emotions differently.
- Analyze an historically important speech of your choice, such as Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Write a report* about the rhetorical devices and features used, the emotions they prompted, and how they made the speech memorable. Include research on the four basic types of persuasive speech.
- Research how to respond professionally and constructively to oral and written messages that generally prompt negative emotions (e.g. email that one did not get the job) or convey negative emotions (e.g. customer complaint emails). Create a lesson plan* for an English class on the subject, including a collection of 25+ positive examples you have collected or written yourself, and open source your lesson.

TEACHING HEALTH WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EMOTIONAL STATES
|
|
- Learn about what it means to be emotionally healthy. It is important to our emotional health to value ourselves and not depend on others to affirm our value. Create* an affirmation card for yourself using a message such as, “I am valuable”; “I am unique”; “I am loved”; or “My gift is ____.”
- Create a word cloud*. In one color, list some things you are currently doing to contribute to your positive emotional state/ zest for life, and in another color, list some things you want to do next to contribute to this joy of living. (For example, one could join a book club, or visit a museum, art gallery or new place etc.)
- Using the internet or library resources, learn about how physical health and emotional health may be tied together. Then create a list* of five practices related to physical health that are important in having good emotional health, such as a technique for managing stress.

Implement three or more of these while being mindful of how you are positively affecting others. Write a one page reflection* of your experiences.
- Compile a list of 10 unhealthy mental habits, which lead to poor emotional health. Then for each of these, find at least one way to stop engaging in these habits (i.e. healthy mental habits). For example, negative thoughts about oneself can be stopped by being aware of these thoughts and perhaps creating a list of affirmations for oneself. For two weeks, try these healthy practices and keep a journal* to document what you think and feel.
- Research strategies to help one be aware of, accepting, expressing and managing emotions effectively. Then, for one month, keep a journal* of your emotions and how you are implementing these strategies. Do they work for you? This can be a written journal or typed one, which may include photos, cartoons or artwork.
- Research how to take responsibility for one’s emotions, actions, affect on others, and take initiative in one’s own life. Reflect on your own life, including any ways you may have learned to take responsibility for your life as a young adult. Hold a workshop* for some local young people about personal emotional responsibility and empowerment.

TEACHING MATH WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EMOTIONAL STATES
|
|

Explain this mathematically* and prove it by substituting the terms authenticity, self-awareness and courage with numbers. (Equations by Chip Conley can be substituted for equations the learner can find.)
