Activity 1. Describe what people in your family or neighborhood do in specific situations, how they feel and
behave. Detail at least two different groups of people.
Follow the example, in which you’ll finds some keyword first, and then a more detailed
information.

Example 1:

Who? Situation / celebration / Feelings or emotions Behaviors

occasion / date
My siblings Christmas Anxious, happy and Celebrate, eat dinner, recall old stories,
sentimental pray and plan the new year.

During Christmas my father and my siblings get together in a different house every year. Each adult child is accompanied
by wife/husband and children, and then the whole family prepares and eats dinner together. We feel anxious about
opening gifs for everyone and get happy to share presents and a special dinner together. However, we feel sentimental as
well, since we recall stories about our family growth such as our epoch as children, our weddings and achievements;
besides, we talk about sad moments such as our mom’s death and how much our lives changed. But after this we pray and
thank God for a new Christmas together and finally we plan what we will do the following year.

Example 2:

Who? Situation / celebration / Feelings or emotions Behaviors

occasion / date
My neighbors Mother’s Day Happy and depressed Drink, talk, dance and fight

On Mother’s Day my neighbors meet to celebrate this important date. First, they feel happy to be together and to share a
special occasion. They drink some liquor during the day and night, and then they dance and talk. But after some glasses of
wine or “aguardiente” and some beers, they start feeling depressed and talk about negative situations or experiences.
Finally, they start fighting and behaving in a wrong way.
Although my family is calm and peaceful, the previous behaviors are very common in my city /Medellín) and in many other
regions in Colombia.

Activity 3. What do some common activities make you feel?

Activity Feelings or emotions

Examples:

Practicing a sport When I practice my favorite sport, I feel active and healthy. I also feel proud, because I
am doing something healthy for my body and mind.
Taking an exam When I take an online exam, I feel nervous and insecure. Sometimes I make mistakes
when choosing the right answer, and this is because I don’t believe in my skills. I should
trust in myself.
1. when i practice When I play soccer I feel happy I feel active because I am fulfilling my dream
soccer and I am doing what I like so I feel happy, active euphoric and other things
that I do not even know how to name

a student at some time I think that what is most scary in life is

you do not know how it was, it gives you happiness and fear, and
there is where you have gone wrong makes you want to be swallowed
by the earth but if it went well let me tell you that that day
you are the worst person in the world because you must be one of
those who start telling everyone that happy strap day.

*Feel free to describe all the activities you want (even less than 8), but try to detail how the feelings or emotions
affect your behaviors.

Activity 4. Through a comic or drawing, represent what a negative feeling causes (identify what

A feeling of fear does not allow

young
peopl e to make the best decisions.

Sometimes when we are afraid of

somethin g, we tend to avoid this

situation, but the solution is to ask

parents for help to face

fears.
