Noticing actions and faces for emotion

Hi everybody,

Please write a paragraph about your path to happiness
number 1: "Remember good things in your life." Use your 5 senses (tasting, smelling, touching, seeing, hearing) to describe the memory. Also, use the things we practiced with the music exercise today. Who is with you? What is your relationship with this person / these people? Where are you? When is it or how old were you in the memory? What are you and the other person / people doing?

Tomorrow, we are going to write about emotions. I want you to watch these videos. They are amazing and gifted actors - Matt Damon, Chloe Maretz, and Javier Bardem. They show "anger" but they show it in completely different ways. Notice their actions. Notice their faces. Notice how they express anger.

If I wrote something like this:

I walked in the room and saw my sister. I knew immediately she was angry.


How do I know she was angry? Do you know what she was doing? Was she like Javier Bardem or like Matt Damon or like Chloe Maretz? Maybe she was like someone else you know.... maybe she gets silent and quiet and doesn't say anything. Or maybe she becomes a martyr. "No, no, I didn't want to talk to you anyway. That's ok. No, no I'll sit here and bleed. I don't want to be a bother."
