I'm sure not unlike many other teachers, I've drawn this a few times in class and it's always proved productive. At least is seems that this visual idea and the vocabulary in it are easily remembered.
Only once in my experience the addition about separation and divorce backfired, after I ventured those smiley faces on the celebrating divorcees' faces and made a couple of silly comments. This cooled off my small executive group rather awkwardly. To everyone's knowledge except mine, one of the members of the class was going through an unpleasant divorce.
Just a reminder a teacher should know enough about their students before venturing in such territory.
