Another great story from the Roger Hargreaves Mr Men series that works well as an Emotion Works lesson stimulus, used here by a P1/2 teacher to focus on teaching first cogs and making simple links between them.
Plasticine model characters have been given facial expressions and the written think bubbles link emotion words with emotion behaviours …
e.g., I am happy. I am smiling.
Written accounts were also generated following discussions about the reasons (Triggers) why Mr Tall was feeling happy, sad and gloomy at different points in the story …
e.g., Mr Tall feels sad because he has big legs and he cannot lie in his bed.
