Mood Graph

FOUNDATIONS

Why:

We can raise awareness about our own moods, validating that we all have them, and giving us insight into how to change our patterns.

Warm-Up:

On a scale of 1 - 10, with 10 being ultra moody and 1 being never having your emotions change at all, how would you rate yourself?

Exploration:

Using the template in the link below or an equivalent example, invite students to draw out their mood on a graph, with a point for each hour, on a regular school day and on a weekend day. Then share and discuss. What is similar across several people? As an optional extension, invite each student to think of one part of their own mood graph they wish they could change, like a particularly low point that happens regularly. What tool could they use to improve the situation?
