- Final task:

“Someone I trust”

Students imagine a situation in which they might feel sad/angry/unhappy then they’ll tell their
own stories filling the gaps and adding a picture, drawing or photo to represent the situation.
Then they will present their works in a short video narrating what write and draw.
(e.g.: 1. “When I feel sad – that’s a drawing of me crying because a friend yelled at me – I talk to
someone I trust – that is a picture of my mom – Then I feel better – that is a picture of me and
my mom laughing)

1. “When I feel … (sad, angry, worried)”

2. “I talk to … (family, friends, teacher, etc.)”

“When we have hurt feelings, we should talk with someone we trust to feel better”
