Cognitive Triangle Poster
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Posters, Classroom Decor
In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the cognitive triangle is a conceptual framework that illustrates the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is often used to help individuals understand how their thoughts influence their feelings and actions. The cognitive triangle consists of three components: 1) Thoughts: This refers to the cognitive processes, beliefs, and interpretations that individuals have about themselves, others, and the world around them. Thoughts can be rational, helpful, and realistic, or they can be distorted, negative, and unhelpful. CBT emphasizes identifying and challenging negative or distorted thoughts to promote healthier thinking patterns. 2) Emotions: Emotions are the subjective experiences and feelings that individuals have in response to their thoughts and interpretations. Emotions can range from positive (such as happiness and joy) to negative (such as sadness, anxiety, or anger). The cognitive triangle highlights that thoughts can directly influence emotions, and changing one's thoughts can lead to changes in emotional experiences. 3) Behaviors: Behaviors represent the actions or reactions that individuals engage in based on their thoughts and emotions. Thoughts and emotions can significantly influence one's behavior and choices. For example, if someone has negative thoughts about their abilities, they may avoid certain activities or situations. CBT aims to help individuals identify unhelpful behaviors and develop healthier behavioral responses based on more accurate thinking patterns. The cognitive triangle suggests that there is an interconnectedness between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By understanding and addressing each component, individuals can work towards positive changes in their lives. CBT techniques, such as cognitive restructuring, focus on identifying and modifying negative or distorted thoughts to promote more balanced thinking, healthier emotions, and adaptive behaviors.

Miss Marple – A Classic Movie Detective A reading-based worksheet set with optional film tasks (grades 7–10) 🎥🕵️♀️ A printable and digital resource This material introduces students to the character of Miss Marple as portrayed by Margaret Rutherford in the classic black-and-white crime comedies based on Agatha Christie’s novels. Whether your students are already familiar with detective fiction or encountering it for the first time, this resource offers a simple and accessible way to combine reading skills, character study, and media analysis. The core of the material is a short informational text that provides background on the character and the actress who portrayed her. Students work with a structured profile sheet and a short quiz to reinforce their understanding. If you choose to watch a Miss Marple film with your class, there are two additional worksheets: one for summarizing the movie plot and one for writing a short review. What’s included: Informational text about Miss Marple and Margaret Rutherford Worksheet to create a character profile Quiz questions with solution key Film content worksheet (optional use) Film review worksheet (optional use) Solutions for all main tasks Format: PDF (print-friendly and digital) How it works in class: This is the kind of resource I like to keep on hand for flexible lessons. It works well as a quiet reading and writing task on its own, or as part of a small media project. Watching one of the Miss Marple films adds variety to the lesson and gives students a chance to apply what they’ve learned in a fun and creative way. The film-related worksheets are structured, so even students with less writing experience can follow along easily. Great for regular lessons, substitute plans, or simply when you want to bring a bit of classic British mystery into your classroom. Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we focus on creating a positive and inspiring learning environment.
