Lesson: Emotional Responses Subject: Self-Regulation/Impulse Control Time: 30 minutes Compiled by: Sarah Sampson Materials 1.

Three Little Pigs (10 copies) 2. Chart Paper 3. Blank Paper; Markers; Pens Objectives Students will: 1. Evaluate the pigs responses because of the wolfs actions. 2. Understand that our emotions can affect others. 3. Begin to understand emotional regulation(the ability to label feelings, express feelings safely, and regulate ones internal reactions to situations) Activity One: Discussion 1. What are emotions/feelings? Write down answers on chart paper. 2. What do you do when you feel that way? Write down coping strategies on chart paper. 3. Do our emotions affect others? Why? Is that a good or bad thing? (both) Why? Activity Two: Three Little Pigs 1. Explain that you will have students get in partners to read The Three Little Pigs. Each student will read one page, helping their partner if needed. While they are reading they need to think about some of the emotions felt by all the characters. 2. Once they are done reading, they need to look back and pick one character and one emotion they felt. Draw it on their paper. This must be done with the partner, so must both decide and agree (and draw as a team). This is part of the lesson because it may tap into emotional regulation (feelings of working with partner, agreeing/disagreeing, sharing space). Discuss: What is consensus? Activity Three: Discussion 1. Lead a discussion about the story and the emotions of characters. Some examples could be: - What happened in the story at the beginningmiddleend? - How did the pigs feel? The wolf? 2. Each group shares their picture (if applicable). 3. Debriefing activity: - How would you feel in this situation? Can you control that feeling? - How did you feel when you had to both share the drawing and come to a consensus? How did you decide? - Are there times in school where you have felt: mad, sad, etc.? Can you control those feelings? What could you do to change the way you are feeling in that moment?
