{"sections":[{"title":"Introduction – Mind Map of Emotions (15 minutes)","total_time":"15 minutes","description":"Begin with a brief discussion on emotions and their importance in our daily lives. Each student is given a blank sheet of paper to create a mind map illustrating different emotions they experience. As they think of each emotion, they can draw it, write it, or use colors to represent how it feels. After about 10 minutes, students will share one emotion from their mind map with a partner, discussing when they felt that emotion and if it was positive or negative."},{"title":"Core Activities – Emotion Charades and Story Creation (40 minutes)","total_time":"40 minutes","description":"1. Emotion Charades (20 minutes): Students will form small groups of 4-5. Each group will be given a set of emotion cards (happy, sad, angry, excited, frightened, etc.). One student from each group will act out the emotion without speaking, while the other group members guess the emotion. After every round, they will discuss situations where they might feel that way."},{"title":"2. Story Creation (20 minutes): After the charades, students will use the emotions they've just explored to write a short story or a skit. They can either work individually or in pairs, including at least three different emotions in their story. The guideline is to build a narrative where the characters face challenges that evoke different emotions." ,"total_time":"40 minutes","description":"1.
