Lesson 1: Our emotions
Essential question:
How can I understand my own emotions?
Lesson overview:
Empathic people aren’t just skilled at navigating other people’s emotions. They’re
in touch with their own feelings too. Self-awareness is a foundation for empathy,
which allows learners to reach their full emotional and social potential. Being aware
of their own thoughts and feelings will also assist learners as a tool to manage
intense emotions, like anger, if they arise during the telling process.
