Lesson Idea

Lesson Idea Name: Faces and Feelings

Grade Level/Content Area: First Grade- Reading Literacy Craft and Structure
Content Standard Addressed: ELAGSE1RL4- Identify words and phrases in stories or
poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.
ISTE Technology Standard Addressed: What would you like students to know and
Empowered Learner – Element be able to do by the end of this lesson: By
1.1.a. Students articulate and set personal the end of the lesson, I would like for my
learning goals, develop strategies students to be able to identify the words that
leveraging technology to achieve them and implicate what feelings are being felt.
reflect on the learning process itself to
improve learning outcomes.

What is the student learning goal for this lesson idea?

I expect students to identify different words to explain different feelings, and to be able to
express their feelings.

How will this lesson be implemented? Check all that apply. (Sometimes only one option will
apply.)

☐ Teacher-directed: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations.

☐ Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic for
presentation and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. Products of
learning will be uniquely designed. Teacher simply facilitates the learning in a lesson like this.

Project-based and/or Publishable: Students are completing projects to demonstrate their learning
and the projects can be shared outside of the classroom. This objective could be reached by
displaying the project on the school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom
blog, presenting it to another class, or publishing it via an outside source.

Lesson Idea

Lesson idea implementation:

The activity I plan on doing is having 6 faces showing different emotions and give each
student a card or piece of paper with their name on it. Tape the 6 faces on a wall. Then read
various situations to them. After reading each situation, let the students tape their name card
under the face that describes their feelings related to each situation. Ask the kids to explain
why they made the choice. I would have the students make a situation of their own and have
the other students decide what emotion they’re describing. To conclude the lesson I would,
place students into group and kind of do like a charades-like game where they would act out
an emotion or describe an emotion and have the rest of the class guess what they are doing.

Managing the technology/engagement: They would get involved because they get to make
their own situation so they’re actively thinking and using their creativity.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL): This activity gets students more comfortable with using
Microsoft and they get to explore it while also showing their creativity.

Reflecting on enhanced learning:

I feel like these activities help them not only express their emotions, but also learn how to
read each other’s emotions and help them overall. I look forward to seeing their word walls
and little animations, because I know I had fun making the digital story.
