ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE FEELINGS

The lesson starts with a warm-up activity in which students brainstorm adjectives to describe feelings. They also say in what situations they feel this way. Then, students look at five emotions (e.g. anger, disgust, joy) and come up with possible adjectives for them. After that, they watch the video about a girl who feels different emotions. The video in this lesson is split into several parts so that students can say what makes her have the feeling and predict how she is going to react in each of the five situations. After the video, students say how they feel when they find themselves in the situations presented in the video (e.g. see a spider, spill a drink), and discuss the video itself.

SPEAKING

In the second part of the worksheet, students learn more adjectives to describe feelings and emotions (e.g. annoyed, bored, calm) by matching them to different situations. Then, they read short descriptions of eight situations, choose different emotions for each and say why somebody might have them in each of the situations. After that, they play a game in which they pick cards, read a situation and say how they feel when it happens to them. These two tasks give them the opportunity to practise the new vocabulary. The final task of this lesson plan is optional. Students read ten tongue twisters using a different emotion each time. This way, they practise pronunciation but also revise the vocabulary related to feelings and emotions and have some fun

    Great Lesson!, Just curious if anyone had trouble with the video links cutting off before they were suppose to. I had to move pass the point it would cut off so we could see the rest of the part for each emotion. Not sure why it did that.

    1. Olia

      Hi! Thanks for your comment 🙂
      If you mean the video clips on slide 8, 10, 12…, they should be this short because students should only see the emotion, guess what might cause the emotion and what the reaction might be. And only then they watch the longer clip to check their answers.

      1. Emily Barton

        Oh yes, that is what I thought would happen. When I played the short clips it would not complete the sections for example the clip would play and would show Anger but then cut off before showing the scene where she is angry. Does that make sense? I love the lesson. No matter 🙂

        1. Olia

          Yes, that makes sense. We planned it that way to let students predict what might make the characters feel certain emotions. Glad you loved the lesson😊

          1. Emily Barton

            That makes sense!
