Celta Lesson Plan: Emotions (Pre-Intermediate)

Time +Interaction | Stage and Aim | Procedure | Assessment methodsEG Q/A, CCQs, monitoring, task completion, peer/self assessment | Tutor’s Comments | 10mT-SS | Warm upTo create interest in the topic To elicit/supply essential vocabulary for later tasks | I will contextualise the language by using pictures (PowerPoint presentation), stories and gestures. The vocab taught will be happy, sad, crying, angry, scared and bored. I will also ask the students of any other emotions they already know. I will establish the meaning, eliciting as much as possible, if the word is not reached I will supply this. I will clarify the meaning using concept questions, and asking the students of a time when they felt that particular emotion. Once I am comfortable the students are aware of the target language, I will proceed to write the word on the board. I will thereafter drill the words for pronunciation. This will be done for each word. Once this is complete, I will write the words on the board with an emoticon next to the word so that the students can refer to it during the lesson. I will do a small exercise which involves pictures of particular events, e.g. funeral, theme park, and will ask the students the emotions they would normally feel there. | CCQ’s Q/A’s Students will answer the questions correctly. | | 15mS-SS | Activity Group WorkPractise | Emotion Charades I will explain to the students the concept of the activity. “On the piece of paper is an emotion” *chest piece of paper*“You have to act the emotion out, and your table has to guess what it is called” “You are not allowed to show the card” *gesture hiding*“You are not allowed to talk” *gesture mouth closed* “Whoever gets the emotion right keeps the cards”“The person with the most cards at the end wins” I will then ask concept check questions ““Am I allowed to talk?” No“Do I have to act out the feeling” Yes“Can I show my card to other people?” No I will then do the first emotion with the class, I will act this
