What students are going to cover
In this lesson, students will explore how people really feel at work by reading four team-chat messages from a digital agency team on the Friday their hotel website goes live, to find the feeling each one hides. They build vocabulary related to feelings, emotions and personality, place five anger words on an intensity scale, learn which adjectives take very and which take absolutely, and practise -ed and -ing adjectives in a seven-item task. Students answer seven “How would you feel if...?” questions, complete a team leader’s six-gap “who’s who” message, and sort six sentences into character or appearance. The lesson ends with “The Perfect Teammate”, a speaking task in which students describe their ideal colleague and the hardest type of person in a team with teacher follow-up questions. This English lesson plan on feelings and personality includes a teacher version with answers, an interactive worksheet, 21 slides, homework with a 12-gap retrieval message and a “How are you, really?” voice-note task, flashcards and speaking cards. By the end of the lesson, learners will be able to give an honest answer to “How are you?”, choose the right strength of a feeling word, and describe a colleague’s character with real examples.
