Another Trick
Lawrence
Shapiro is an awesome author! I love the idea of keeping a feelings diary!
Students use the feelings sheet below and a blank journal to draw and write
about their feelings. The feelings sheet will show the students the feeling
face to draw at the top of their journal. The feeling word gives students its
name. The purpose of the diary is to
help students develop coping skills. It will also help give them the vocabulary
to effectively discuss and reflect on their feelings.
Enjoy!
Tricks of the Trade
Tricks of the Trade by
Lawrence Shapiro
I love the book Tricks of the Trade
by Lawrence Shapiro! The book is filled with short and practical strategies to help counselors work with children. The techniques are from cognitive/behavioral therapy, family therapy, and psychodynamic theory. I have enjoyed the book as a part of my library for over 15 years! The activity below is one of my favorites!
Shapiro’s Family Museum activity is a wonderful way to
learn about student’s perception of their family. The students have to pretend that their family
is famous and thus an entire museum has been dedicated to them.
This is what the blank museum looks like.
This is what the museum looks like filled in.
After the activity, students
can share their museum with the group.
Enjoy!
