This mini lesson plan aims to teach students how to describe and identify their feelings. It includes 4 activities: 1. Students will describe how they feel today and identify others' feelings based on gestures. 2. In groups, students will discuss daily activities that make them feel certain emotions and recall past activities and reasons for their moods. 3. Students will recall at least 3 past school activities and explain how they felt doing them, comparing feelings. 4. As a wrap-up, students will reflect on the main adjectives learned to describe feelings and note anything new learned from peers, asking any remaining questions.
