Very good text. I’ve found your site via Google and I’m really happy about the information you provide in your articles. Btw your sites layout is really broken on the Kmelon browser. Would be cool if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the great work!

Bill- What a great idea to use it with ESL students! I’ll have to store that away for when I go back to teaching.

Melissa-We finally got enough focus to really talk about Sammi’s heart and her emotions. She loved the idea of “Where do you keep happy/angry/sad/afraid in your heart?” Then we were able to talk about when she has the different emotions. Some common themes emerged that shed a lot of light on what she’s experiencing right now. Very informative! And she keeps asking me, “Mommy, where do you keep happy in your heart?” So fun. Thanks for a great idea. It was just what we needed.

I love this idea and am going to try this with my adult ESL students. We are studing parts of the human body but I want them to share what is important to them. Great Idea

We recently moved across the country and my daughter turned three. Needless to say, she’s been rather emotional. I am going to do this with her in the hopes that we will be able to talk together about her emotions and so I can understand her a little better. Thanks for sharing this idea.

This is an awesome activity. I can really see how this would help spur creativity for kids. And how fun to keep these and look back on them later. I also feel like I definitely need to do a heart map for myself!

I love the creativity behind this activity Melissa! As a very left-brain, black & white thinking kind of writer, I can see how useful this process will be for me as I write. Thanks for sharing it!
