Slide Deck

Naming Our Feelings

Use this slide deck to visually present and discuss both primary (basic) emotions and secondary (complex) emotions. Remind students that primary emotions include feelings like happiness, sadness, and anger, while secondary emotions may include feelings like frustration, excitement, or anxiety. Encourage discussion by asking guiding questions such as 'How do these expressions make you feel?' and 'What do you think makes an emotion secondary?'
