Feelings
Pre-intermediate level

Description

In this lesson students will learn and review some language regarding emotions and communicating their feelings. The objective is for the students to use and implement the target language in social interactions as active and conscious citizens. In designing this lesson, I was influenced by teachings of Piaget and his notion of focusing on learners as independent individuals to develop autonomy and critical thinking. I hope through this lesson I will be able to create a safe space for my students to freely express and communicate their feelings and to motivate them to think of their positioning in the world as an active citizen.
