Procedure (41-50 minutes)
Introduce yourself briefly and try to make a warm welcome and good rapport to lead-in. Tell SS that we will be together for the next 3 weeks. Write the word "emotion" on W/B and elicit the answers.
Show SS some pictures of emotions and elicit some answers from SS. Ask them "is he happy?", "are they sad?", "how are they feeling?" "does she feel good or bad?, what is he doing?". Ask SS about what emotions do they think are these people feeling. Elicit the answers from SS. Ask SS why they are feeling these emotions. Elicit the answers from SS.
Set the scene with grouping or pairing via colored papers. Write on W/B and pre-teach these words ; "recognise", "ancestors", "prompt", "lump", "induce", "unpredictable" 'run away from'. 'rotten food". Dispatch the p.68 to SS. Ask them to read the text and match the photos A-F with the words. Ask the pairs/groups to work together then compare their answers.
T gives SS the six words of emotions on a piece of paper for each group and asks them to go around the class find the right definition for the word given and stick it on the appropriate place on the definition. Then let the other group to go around the class to check the others answers. T writes the words for the target language and pronounces them correctly and put the stresses where it should be (fear, anger, distress, joy, surprise, disgust).
Do the ex.1C. Ask SS "when was the last time you felt these emotions?” Elicit some answers. Write some words derived from these emotional words such as "afraid of, "angry", distressed", "enjoyed", and “surprised", "disgusted". Ask them to make up some words and talk to each others in pair/group. Give them some examples first; ex. "I was surprised when Galatasaray won the European Cup Championship of 2000". "I am afraid of dogs". If any time left, drill the language by correcting some mistakes done by SS during this semi-controlled speaking practice.
