Mirroring Aroha's Actions

Mirror the Image

Aroha's actions.

What do you notice about her body?

What does her body language show you?

What does her face tell you?

How can you tell she feels happiness?

What else do you think she feels?

How are our thoughts and feelings connected?

What do I think about?

Complete the activity:

Fill in the thought bubbles with what Aroha could be thinking about and answer the question.

If she looks happy what could she be thinking?

Take a photo of yourself and write what you are thinking about.

Are these thoughts true?

Have the thoughts in your head ever changed how you feel?

Work as a class through the first 2 slides by looking at:

  • What you notice about Aroha's body and face

  • How Aroha is feeling in the picture

  • What could cause Aroha to feel this way

  • Have you felt this way before?

  • What happened to make you feel this?
