Title: Feeling Masks Author: Emily Nielsen Grade Level: Kindergarten Integrated Disciplines: Language Arts, Art, and Word Choice NE Standards: 1.2.1—By the end of first grade, students will speak clear, complete, coherent sentences using standard English. Objectives: Students will be able to identify a feeling. Then, the students will explain the feeling to the class using the masks they have made, and using correct words to explain the particular feeling, he or she has chosen to use. Assessment: Keep a tally to make sure each student comes up with a feeling; each student makes a mask to go along with his or her feeling, and make sure each student clearly explains to the class their feeling. (Make sure what the student is saying makes sense.) Materials: Supplies to make masks: white paper plates, some of the children might have difficulty cutting out eye holes so have a couple pre-cut of the plates pre-cut, scissors, tongue depressors (have the tongue depressors already stapled to the plate, this will save time), markers/crayons, yarn for the hair, glue, and stapler (teachers only). Procedures: Anticipatory Set: Explain to the class what feelings are, and explain what some of the feelings are. Learning Activities: The students will act out different feelings such as sad, happy, mad, or surprised. The students will have to come up with a situation that makes them feel a certain way such as happy, mad, sad, or surprised. The students will then create a mask that reflects the feelings they imagined. Students will sit in a circle with their masks. The students will use their masks and words to describe to the class what feeling they are trying to portray. Other students try to guess what feeling they are trying to portray. Each student takes a turn showing the class their mask, and explaining to the class using words what feeling, they are trying to portray. The students should may explain to the class a particular instance when they felt the way their mask is portraying.
Provisions for Special Needs: Give any student that needs assistance making their mask assistance. Also, any student who needs help coming up with a feeling to “make” assist him or her in coming up with an idea. Ask the student probing questions. Such as what do you feel like when you have to go to bed or what do you feel like when a friend comes over to play?
Closure: Have the students put their masks in their mailbox to take home and share with their family.
