  6. CASE STUDY IN CRITICAL THINKINGAFTER MATH Decide which character in the story has the least emotional intelligence. Gather in groups with people who chose the same character as least emotionally intelligent and choose a spokesperson. Each group, provide your spokesperson with reasons and evidence that support your conclusion. Each spokesperson, use your best critical thinking skills to persuade others to leave their group and join yours.

  7. CASE STUDY IN CRITICAL THINKINGAFTER MATH DIVING DEEPER: Imagine that you have been asked to mentor the person whom you ranked number 5 (least emotionally intelligent). Other than recommending a counselor, how would you suggest that this person handle his or her upset in a more emotionally intelligent manner?

  8. DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE FOCUS QUESTIONS What is emotional intelligence? How can you experience the full range of natural human emotions and still stay on course to a rich, fulfilling life?

  9. EMOTIONAL SELF-AWARENESS Knowing your feelings in the moment. EMOTIONAL SELF-MANAGEMENT Managing strong feelings. SOCIAL AWARENESS Empathizing accurately with other people’s emotions. RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT Handling emotions in relationships with skill and harmony. FOUR COMPONENTS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE Create a memory device that helps you remember and understand these four components of EI.

  10. Read each description; then decide which component of emotional intelligence is being demonstrated. APPLYING THE CONCEPT EMOTIONAL SELF-AWARENESS Candace notices that her breathing is accelerated, her chest feels tight and her jaw muscles are clenched and realizes her anger is escalating. Alex is furious after discovering that his roommate has eaten all of the snacks that Alex bought. Alex decides to take a long walk and think before confronting him about the situation. EMOTIONAL SELF-MANAGEMENT

  11. APPLYING THE CONCEPT Halalo’s friends come from very different backgrounds: one from New York city, two from St. Louis, one from a family farm in southern Missouri and one from a small town in eastern Oregon. Still, he can tell when each of them is upset about something. SOCIAL AWARENESS Mikel knows that Annette flunked the same test on which Kerri scored a “95.” Instead of telling Annette she should have spent more time studying, he lets her vent her feelings about the test and the class. Later, he asks Annette if she would like to join his study team. RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

Group members, offer suggestions for how the person can better manage that emotion. (3 minutes each)
