Before You Begin
How to use this learning library
These materials are supplemental educational tools. Review the purpose and instructions before beginning, then decide whether the activity is relevant and appropriate for the individual learner.
Prepare for access

Invite participation
Explain the activity, invite participation, and honor requests to pause, take a break, change the activity, or stop.

Receptive Identification of Emotions
This activity provides structured practice matching commonly used emotion words to photographs of facial expressions. The learner views one image at a time and selects the emotion label that best matches the activity's intended answer.
Learning objective
Practice receptive identification of common emotion words using visual examples.
Program format
- • Nine visual questions
- • Optional spoken directions
- • Visible progress indicator
- • Option to restart the activity
Instructions for supportive use
- 1.Explain that the activity will show photographs and ask the learner to choose an emotion word.
- 2.Select Listen if spoken directions would improve access.
- 3.Allow enough time to observe the image, process the choices, and respond in a comfortable way.
- 4.Keep feedback calm and neutral. An incorrect response indicates what may require additional teaching.
- 5.Pause or end the activity if the learner communicates that they would like a break or wish to stop.
Important context
Facial expression alone cannot tell us exactly how another person feels. Use this activity to teach common emotion-word associations—not to require a particular facial expression or assume someone's internal experience. Emotion is best understood through context and communication.
