To create your wheel of emotions you had to use some nouns to name emotions, some adjectives or verbs to express how you feel, some sentences to express what makes you feel like that and some more sentences to express how you show what you are feeling.
The emotions on your wheel are the ones considered by psychologist Robert Plutchik as "primary emotions", basic emotions. But of course, emotions are not so simple, or so "basic", humans are complex, and our emotions can be complex as well. Sometimes, we don't even understand them, we find it difficult to express what or how we feel, or see what other people are feeling. Therefore... we need to go on working on emotions and feelings. Are you ready?
TASK 1
Have a look at the following emotions and copy them in your notebook (use the dictionary if you don't recognise some of the words). Remember we are using NOUNS because we are naming emotions
1-sadness. 2-excitement. 3- relief. 4- shock
5- embarrasment 6- stress. 7- satisfaction
8- euphoria. 9- serenity 10- hatred
11-frustration
12- confusion. 13- boredom. 14- surprise
15- fear 16- happiness. 17- tenderness
18- kindness. 19- melancholy 20- temptation
21- concern 22- guilt. 23- delight
24- affection 25- enthusiasm 26- solitude
27-anger. 28- admiration. 29- rage
30- apprehension
TASK 2
Remember we use ADJECTIVES or VERBS to express how we feel. For example:
1- sadness - I feel sad (adjective)
28- admiration - I admire (verb)
So... can you add the adjective or verb you would use to express the emotions on task 1? Do it in your notebook.
TASK 3
Have you realised that some of the words on task 1 express similar emotions, or emotions that could be linked in one or other way? Have a look at them again and try to add some connections? Explain why you think those emotions can be connected.
For example, I would say that 21- concern 3- relief 6- stress and 9- Serenity go together because sometimes you are concerned when there is a problem or a difficult situation that you need to solve > you feel relieved when you find a solution >
and after all those days feeling stressed, you feel calm again.
Can you link any other emotions? Do it in your notebook. Don't forget to explain your connection.
Then use the twinboard below to share some of them and the forum to write some comments on your partners'
TASK 4:
Finally, have another look at your partners and in your notebook, use some diagrammes to copy the emotions they have linked. Then try to take a picture and show it below ( materials first, remember)
