Main Aims

  • By the end of the lesson, students will be able to use common adjective–preposition collocations (e.g., afraid of, interested in, good at, worried about) to express personal opinions and experiences during communicative speaking tasks.

Subsidiary Aims

  • Students will identify emotions in a visual/video context. Students will recognize correct adjective–preposition combinations. • Students will practice pronunciation of key collocations. • Students will interact with peers using the target language.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context, engage students and activate vocabulary about emotions

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?

Highlighting (2-3 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

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.

Clarification (8-9 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

T shows the table of the target vocabulary on the screen. Vocabulary: 1. Afraid of, interested in, worried about, good at, similar to, tired of, responsible for, etc T picks 5 of them and checks understanding with CCQs, practices pronunciation with drills as a whole class and then individually. CCQs: 1. Afraid of. Example sentence: She is afraid of spiders. - Does she feel safe with spiders? - Do spiders scare her? - Does she want spiders near her? 2. Fep up with. Example: I am fed up with homework. - Have I had too much homework? - Do I feel happy about it? - Do I want to stop? 3. Interested in. Example: She is interested in art. - Does she like art? - Does she want to learn more about it? 4. Worried about. Example sentence: Students are worried about exams. - Are the students relaxed? - Are they thinking about the exams a lot? 5. Aware of. Example sentence: She is aware of the problem. - Does she know about the problem? - Is it new information for her?

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

T asks ss to complete the following sentences with their own opinions in their notebooks. After 5 minutes, T will check answers and provide feedback if necessary. 1. I am afraid of_________ 2. I am fed up with______ 3. I am interested in______ 4. I am worried about_______ 5. I am aware of_________

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

T makes small groups. T gives a dice for each team. T asks ss to roll it and answer the question they get. T monitors during the activity. Questions in the dice: 1. What are you afraid of? Why? 2. What are you fed up with? Why? 3. What are you good at? 4. What are you interested in? Why? 5. What are you worried about? Why? 6. What are you different from others? Why?

Feedback (0-3 minutes) • To provide feedback from the students' speech during freer practice.

T elicits some wrong sentences students said during the activity. T writes them on the board and asks ss to improve them together. T dismisses the class.
