4 Introduction All children need the space and opportunity to learn how to explore and understand what is going on around them. Where there are added barriers to effective communication, the world can be a very bewildering place. Deaf children and young people are likely to have difficulty finding a way to identify and describe their feelings or emotions. This is even more difficult for a deaf young person who also has a learning difficulty. We hope that this booklet will help deaf children with learning difficulties find a way to manage their feelings safely. It is widely recognised that the ability to identify and understand our feelings and those of others contributes to the growth of our personal and social development. There is evidence to suggest the presence of a significantly higher level of emotional developmental problems and disturbance in people with learning disability Arthur (2003). In 2001, NDCS published What Are You Feeling? A guide to teaching emotional literacy in the classroom. The booklet aims to provide tools for teachers to support the expansion of the emotional vocabulary of deaf children. It offers a wide range of activities and provides topics for discussion around different emotions. No single resource will be suitable for all children. However, in order to support adults working with or caring for deaf children who have may also have learning difficulties, we have adapted the original booklet here. This booklet should be viewed as a tool to support the development of emotional literacy and can be used in conjunction with other resources. It can be used flexibly to meet the differing needs of individual deaf children, either in group activities or in one-to-one situations. It can also be used in the home. The questions in the adult guidance notes are suggested prompts to help you further explore and explain the emotions. You can use them over several sessions at the correct pace and level to suit the children you are working with. The booklet can be used as a colouring book, or as a starting point for role-play. The aim is for the child to understand the different types of emotions they may feel using different scenarios. It may take many sessions for the child to grasp the emotion. The concepts have been arranged in an approximate developmental order for example, happy and sad come first. We will continue to review the booklet to ensure its effectiveness. To be emotionally literate is to be able to handle our emotions in a way that empowers and enriches our lives Reed (2001). This booklet is based on the original What Are You Feeling? resource book created by Helen Foulkes née Reed in References Arthur AR (2003) The emotional lives of people with learning disability. British Journal of Learning Disabilities Reed H (2001) What Are You Feeling? A guide to emotional literacy in the classroom. London: NDCS 2
5 Symbol index These three symbols are used throughout the adults notes to denote the different types of work suggested. The signs used throughout this booklet are a combination of British Sign Language (BSL) and Widgit. Widgit Widgit aids understanding and communication for people who find reading difficult. Here is the Widgit symbol for happy.?? Project Discussion Questions? British Sign Language (BSL) BSL is a visual language used by some deaf people to communicate. Here is the BSL illustration for happy. Directional arrows are used on some of the BSL illustrations to make any movement involved in the depicted sign easier to understand. A lot of BSL signs involve movement. It is important apart from hands and fingers making the correct basic shape that the direction of the sign is also correct. The arrow-heads below depict basic movements: Single sign in one direction Repetitive sign in one direction Single sign in one direction, that comes to a sharp stop Sign which alternates between two directions For signs which are more complex, the arrow-heads are attached to circles etc. which help to describe the direction and flow of the movement. If a back-to-front letter S is incorporated, then the hands are making alternate movements. 3
6 Working with this book This book helps deaf children to recognise and name emotions, and to learn signs for new emotions. There are various ways in which teachers and parents can work with this book: For younger children, you could use it as a colouring book and ask them to colour in the pictures. When completed, ask the children questions about the scenarios and about how the people in them are feeling. You can use the simple story beneath each drawing, or ask the children to create their own stories, either in BSL, written English or their preferred method of communication. The pages are ideal for photocopying, so they can be circulated amongst a group for use as activity sheets. They can also be enlarged to poster size for classroom use. You could cut out and separate the three sections on each worksheet to avoid overloading children with information. 4
7 Worksheets The following two page spreads consist of adults notes (left) and worksheets (right). There are 20 spreads in total and the emotions they deal with are as follows: pages 6 7 pages 8 9 pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages happy sad excited angry tired scared upset calm frustrated bored hopeful confused fine disappointed jealous surprised safe ashamed guilty proud 5
