My Feelings Iceberg

My Feelings Iceberg
, Not Grade Specific,

My Feelings Iceberg uses the familiar above-water and below-water metaphor to distinguish outward expression from internal emotion. Learners record feelings other people can see in the upper area and feelings they do not show in the submerged section. The simple contrast can open discussion about how behaviour does not always reveal the full emotional experience. The page is suited to guided reflection, check-ins, or counseling conversations rather than diagnosis or forced disclosure.

My Identity Iceberg – Visible & Invisible Identity

My Identity Iceberg – Visible & Invisible Identity
, Not Grade Specific,

My Identity Iceberg uses the waterline as a visual boundary between two kinds of self-description. Learners record outwardly visible parts of identity above the line and less visible experiences, beliefs, roles, or characteristics below it. The open organizer supplies no fixed identity categories, leaving the distinction to the learner while preserving a clear visible-versus-invisible comparison. Both response areas remain open beyond that distinction, so learners determine the identity content they share.
