Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Project-Based Learning, Inquiry-Based, Think-Pair Share Activities, Translation Game: Teacher gives each group in class a list of emotions adjectives to take turns in adding part of a story appropriately using as many of the words as they can. For example, one group starts the story with "Musa woke up in a really sad mood" and the next group continues with "Seeing his sister's moody face just made him feel worse". The group with most adjectives wins.
Sensitivity to various spheres of life: With repeated exercises learners will learn to retain an element of poise and composure, while expressing their feelings and addressing issues rather than getting carried away emotionally.
