The focus of this media study guide is to help students in grade 6-8 understand, learn to appreciate and work with their emotions, by not only providing them with the ability to recognize their individual emotions but to also give them the skills necessary to proactively work with these emotions during difficult times. The guide also gives students the opportunity to understand the impact emotions have on their self image and a better understanding of their identity.
This unit allows students to critically assess their emotions, as well as the emotions of others, helping them understand their own emotional events and to become more understanding and compassionate when dealing with emotionally charged situations.
