Emotion Decoder Scenes

This worksheet asks students to infer characters’ feelings by analyzing tone, action, dialogue, and setting. Each scene presents emotional cues-playground loneliness, frustration after school, secretive behavior-that readers must interpret. The multiple-choice and short-answer questions encourage learners to support their answers with specific evidence. These short, vivid scenes help students practice reading between the lines to understand character emotions. The task builds empathy and improves sensitivity to the subtleties of narrative writing. It is ideal for strengthening emotional literacy and text-based analysis.
