Emotions in Action

In this acting-themed worksheet, students step into the roles of characters in short “script” scenes and analyze how each person feels and why. The exercise encourages learners to look beyond dialogue to interpret tone, motive, and emotional context. By exploring scenarios like the “silent treatment” and teasing among peers, students strengthen empathy, emotional vocabulary, and understanding of interpersonal dynamics. The creative, role-play format connects literacy, social awareness, and emotional insight through performance-based reflection.
