Professor Lamourelle, here
and welcome to Module Two. I'm so glad that you made it! So, in this module
we are going to explore the, "Rules to Learn By." So, what rules are implemented within school
systems and how they affect the overall brain, health and learning of children. We
will also be reviewing and exploring how movement and learning goes hand in hand. That
we really need to move in order to learn best. Lastly, we'll be looking at emotions. Did you know
that we actually filter other people's emotions through our own experiences? That emotion
or feeling that we see, again we are making an assumption or a judgment or have an idea
about how someone else is feeling through our own experiences first. That's first and foremost. Then
once we've done that, then we may ask actually the person how they are feeling or "What's going
on?" or we will determine whether or not it's safe to do so. If it is safe to do so, then we will
respond accordingly. I want to illustrate this fact that we go through every single day.
We go through it all throughout the day with ourselves and with other people and looking at how
we filter our emotions through our experiences, and how we interpret other people's feelings and
emotions. I'd like to introduce you to Emotional Eva. I'm going to show you a few faces and so I
need you to pause the video and get a piece of paper and something to write with. On that paper,
you're going to place the numbers one through six. Now that you have your paper and
you've numbered it one through six, I'm going to show you six faces and would like
you to write down what your first thought is as far as what emotion or face do you think that
she is making. So, this is number one. What face do you think that this is? What face or emotion
do you think that she is evoking? And number two. Just go with the first thought. Number three,
that's going to be your most authentic answer. What is her face telling you? Number four. Five and number six is a blank
face. I would like you to share on your paper what you're feeling and
so below this video there will be a link to a, Classroom Emotional Doll Activity." You're
going to see the emotions that other students have placed upon these different numbered
faces. I would like you to look at and review what your answers are in comparison
to other students answers. Are they right on? Is it similar to others? Did a lot of people say what
you said? Did you say something totally different? By looking at this, you're going to
be able to see how differently people perceive emotions. Some people say some of the
faces are totally positive and somebody says the same face is completely negative. Again,
this is illustrating the point that we perceive facial expressions and emotions through our own
experiences. Enjoy the activity and reviewing it!
