Emotion Prompting example:
Imagine you are a person feeling a strong sense of nostalgia. Describe your first day at school, covering the following aspects:
1. What emotions do you feel when you recall that day?
2. Describe the smells, sounds and visual details that stir warm feelings in you.
3. Tell me about one specific moment in that memory that is especially dear to you.
How does this memory affect your mood right now? Try to convey the depth of the emotional experience through your description.
