5 lessons focusing on enhancing emotional vocabulary and descriptive writing skills are presented in this resource. The Blob Tree, a communication aid, serves as a key tool in facilitating discussions with young individuals to help them recognise and articulate their emotions. Furthermore, the lessons utilise this tool to support descriptive writing and prompt reflection on the emotional connections individuals have with specific ‘blob’ figures. Additionally, students are encouraged to use an AI image generator to visually represent their written descriptions. This resource has been tailored for Key Stage 3 Pupil Referral Unit learners. Nevertheless, it can be easily modified to cater to a diverse range of learners and abilities.
