There are five major components to social emotional learning: self awareness, self management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. Other important concepts include cooperation skills, problem solving, and growth mindset. The activities in this guide include a specific read aloud for each of these components, additional recommended reading for each concept, and an independent activity for students to complete after the read aloud. The activities allow students to work individually, engaging with the story and their own emotional connections at the same time.

Storyboarding is an incredibly powerful tool for educators because it helps students process and understand the information in a deep, meaningful way. When students storyboard, they are actively engaged in the learning process and can make connections between the text and their own lives.
Storyboards also promote higher-level thinking by encouraging students to synthesize information and think critically about what they have read. Finally, storyboards are a great way to assess student understanding because they provide a visual representation of student learning.
