    1. SEEING THROUGH EMOTIONS

    First section _2 moments

    MOMENT 1 The SWITCH

    In this section an evocative element must be shown in order to introduce themain didactical theme .

    This switch (a video, a song, a work of art, a landscape, a tale) must not bestrictly linked to the didactical theme, but must trigger emotions linked to thetheme the students will study.

    The teacher will present the switch without any preliminary comment andsuggestion

    In our experimentation we have helped the teacher to choose the evocativeelement (switch), in this case a video.

    2. UNDERSTANDING

    THROUGH EMOTIONS

    Second section _The emotional path become a rational path

    The Rational map will be developed starting from the Emotional mapsingled out in the previous stage. Now the students will work alone orin group and will have to justify the feelings arisen from the previousstages, by finding images, videos, books, articles where it isexpressed the feeling they felt concerning the treated theme.

    The idea is to let them translate the Emotional map in a Rationalmap, according to the potential scheme that follows

    3. TRAVELLING THROUGH

    EMOTIONS

    Third section

    The class will analyse the path/s that have developed and will discuss

    them with the teacher.Following the same map, they will then move on to a research whichwill link both with the emotional and the rational map to onesindividual experience.

    That is, if in the first area Places I have placed an evocative image ofmy emotion and of the theme (e.g. a place in Greece where a battletook place with ruins reminding it, or the grave of a cruel general), this

    phase must relate to my emotional experience (by inserting forexample a picture of a trip or summarizing a film I have seen referringto the theme e.g. 300) outlining my personal reaction.

    All the contributions will be published in the platform, and specificallyin the pages referred to the class.

    4. LEARNING THROUGH

    EMOTIONS

    Fourth section _ Organization of data in the syllabus

    In this section the teacher will assemble the results of the emotionaland rational maps and systematize what has been learnt.

    That is, starting from the ideas collected, since in order to outline themap the class has certainly studied the subject, he/she will insert whathas been learnt into the programme giving the subject an organic

    structure.
