Procedure (29-40 minutes)
T introduces herself briefly and ask ss how they are. T moves on to the lesson. T projects quick questions: 1. What things make people afraid? 2. What things make people excited or shocked? T writes any relevant emotions on the board that students mention. T shows the image of the video only. (the girl about to fire a firework). T asks the following questions: 1. What do you see? 2. What is the girl going to do? 3. Is it safe or dangerous? 4. How do you think she feels? T writes any relevant words related to emotions and write them on the board. (e.g. afraid, nervous, worried, excited). T asks, "what do you think it will happen next?" Ss share their predictions. T plays the short. After playing, T asks: 1. How does she feel now? (shocked, surprised, for example.) (Here, T picks an example and writes a sentence about the girl in the short: "she is scared of the firework/explosion". 2. How would YOU feel in that situation?
T recalls the words written on the board. T asks ss to pay attention to those patterns "afraid of", "scared of", "shocked by", "worry about". T shows the table of the target vocabulary. T quickly asks students to match the adjectives with the prepositions. T checks answers along with the class.
