Lesson 1
Routine: 5/7´
Purpose: to start the lesson, get students into mood for work and
establish rapport.
I´ll get into the classroom and greet students: “Hello! How are you
today?” EA: “Hello, fine!”
I will explain that I will be their teacher for some lessons and I will write
my name on the board and the date. Then, I will ask them to write their
names on a piece of paper, so I can call them by their names without
problem.
Transition: Nice to meet all of you! Let´s know each other better!

3. Warm-up 10´:
Purpose: to introduce the topic and teaching points.
In order to have a visual representation about feelings, we will watch a
short video that clearly expresses them. New vocabulary is presented to
animated examples such as DISGUSTED and SCARED.

“I will invite you to watch a video about feelings! Let´s revise some points!”
The students will be sitting on their seats in pairs as usual. They will
watch the video once, and then I will ask about disgusted and scared
meaning to check comprehension. If they don´t understand the meaning,
I will use gestures.
Transition: Good! Go on working together!
Presentation 15´:
Purpose: to further exposure the learners to the target language, to
foster comprehension of images/pictures.
I will show students some pictures related to feelings and at the same
time I will say “0 conditional” sentences to introduce the topic.
If I have an exam, I am nervous.
If I pass my exam, I am happy.

4. If I go on holidays, I feel relaxed.
If I have a health problem, I feel sad.
If someone says lies, I feel angry.
“What makes you nervous/happy/relaxed/sad/angry?” I will choose
some volunteers to talk about their feelings and give examples.
Transition: “Very well done, nice topic”
Development
ACTIVITY 1 - 20’
Purpose: this activity is aimed at fostering contextualized practice
of the teaching points.
I will form groups of 6 students. I will give each group a copy to complete.
They will debate with their mates the correct answer and they will write
it down. Then, we will compare the answers with the rest of the groups
to listen to the different ideas.
1) Look at the pictures and complete the sentences with your own
ideas.

5. If I go out with friends, ………………………………
………………………………, I feel relaxed.
If I fight with my brother/sister, ……………………………..
If I kill a fly, ………………………………
………………………………….., I am nervous.
If I see a ghost,…………………………………..
2) Are these sentences referring to POSITIVE or NEGATIVE
emotions? Write P or N.
• Your hands tremble.
• You express your feelings in appropriate ways.

6. • You don´t sleep enough.
• You live a balanced life.
Transition: “Oh excellent job!
ACTIVITY 2: 25’
Purpose: this activity is aimed at recognizing contextualized
practice.
I will give each group a copy of the reading activity. Students will read it
aloud with their mates and ask some questions. They won´t understand
the whole reading but they will focus on the most important points.In the
next activity, students will find a synonym for the words.
I will explain the activities and ask: “Do you know what I mean? You can
ask me if you have a doubt.”
1) Read the text and answer the questions.
• How do you define “feelings”?
• Is it a “psychological phenomenon”? Can you name any
examples?
• What are feelings responsible for?
• Does happiness depend on material things?
• Why do people buy products?
2) Find synonyms for these words:
• ACHE:
• DOWN:
• INCOMPLETE:
• GOOD-LOOKING:
What Are Feelings? The Most Fascinating Facts About Our Emotional
States

7. “A feeling is an experience of emotion. While the term “feeling” can be used
to describe purely physical sensations, such as touch or pain, in the context
of this article we are going to talk about feelings as psychological
phenomenon, such as being head over heels in love or simply feeling like a
cool dude.
Feelings are important because they are largely responsible for our entire
experience of life. It’s our feelings that determine whether we are happy or
sad, content or frustrated. There is no shortage of examples of people who
seem to have it all, yet feel unhappy, unfulfilled and depressed. On the other
hand, there are those who defy all odds and lead happy and fulfilling lives
despite obvious disadvantages, such as extreme poverty or physical
disabilities.
It is our feelings that motivate us to do things:
• working out to feel attractive.
• studying to feel smart and/or accepted.
Some people donate money not because of their concern for the less
fortunate but to feel better about themselves.
Many of us buy products not because we really need them but because they
make us feel better about ourselves, or so we hope. Feeling beautiful,
stylish, rich, luxurious, cool are just a few examples.”

After completing the activity students will debate the answers in order to
check comprehension.
Transition: Very well done students! Great job!
Closure 5´: Since next class is the following day, there will be no
homework. I will say: “Congratulations on your work! See you
tomorrow!”

Great ideas, Poli.
Have second thoughts about the video, or try to find a more appealing one. I´m
currently teaching Year-3 students, and they wouldn´t get engaged with extracts
from Inside Out, but each group is different. It´s up to you!
Have a wonderful time! 
