A Day when I felt – Stories 

In this activity, students choose two emotions from the Padlet (for example: happy, angry, scared, excited, sad, proud…).
For two emotions, they describe a real day or situation when they felt that way.

Students should explain:

1. What happened – the situation or event.

2. How they felt – the emotion and its intensity.

3. Why they felt that way – the reason behind the emotion.

4. How they reacted – what they did or how they behaved.

5. What helped them – how the situation ended or what made them feel better.

They can write a short paragraph, record a short audio/video reflection

The goal of the activity is to help students understand their feelings, express them clearly, and learn that everyone experiences different emotions in their daily lives.
