Teacher Notes
Before starting this activity with your students, create a website blog for your entire emotions lesson plan. This blog will be there when you want your class to refer back to anything that you or your students mentioned throughout the different activities about the different ways a person can show any kind of emotion. While carrying out this activity, the first three higher order thinking questions can be asked during Pantomime so that a question/answer discussion can be facilitated. After your class is finished with this activity, the last two questions can be asked so as to obtain student responses regarding Pantomime.
Pantomime
Have the students name emotions (e.g. happy, sad, excited, angry, bored, scared, surprised, etc.) and list them on the blog. Explain to your students that pantomiming is acting out a scene silently. Have the students pantomime an activity that makes them feel happy, sad, surprised. Side coach "Without words, in pantomime, eat an ice cream cone; pet a friendly puppy. How did you feel? What would be a scary thing to do?" "Pantomime that activity. Repeat with an angry activity, an excited activity, etc. As you ask them questions about how each particular pantomime makes them feel, enter their responses into the emotions blog, making sure they know what you are typing into the site.
