Greenburn School Emotion Story Boxes

Along with other specialist settings who use the Emotion Works programme with pupils with Learning Disabilities, Greenburn staff are drawing on the Cog Model framework to plan learning opportunities that promote language learning and emotional understanding linked to the different aspects of emotion represented by the cogs.

In this excellent practice example you’ll see how the preparation of 13 story boxes containing a variety of symbol, object and sensory prompts relating to the storyline in each of the books provides a very comprehensive and focused way to focus on naming the Happy, Sad and Angry emotions and for practising and naming  Regulation Strategies linked to those emotions.
