Yesterday we used the Emotion Works cogs to analyse one of the main characters from our class novel, Divided City. We spoke about how Leanne was feeling in the book when she finds out about Kyoul being attacked. We discussed the triggers for her emotions, her behaviours and body sensations and ways she could make herself feel better (regulation strategies). The children were also introduced to two new cogs, the purple cog – influences and the grey cog – intensity.
