Hello, and welcome to today's lesson, "Comparing emotions and feelings in "Paddington"".

For this lesson, we will be talking about all of the different feelings that Paddington feels, and by the end, you will have so many adjectives to describe Paddington, but also to use in your writing in future.

So, you will need your listening ears, your looking eyes, and that thinking brain.

You will also need your imagination and somebody else to talk to.

As well, we will be reading the book "Paddington", so you need to make sure that you have someone to read the book to you and a copy of the 2014 HarperCollins Children's Book edition of "Paddington" by Michael Bond, and you will need something to write with and something to write on.

It would be great if that was the worksheet for this lesson.

Pause the video now and get everything you need.

Can I see that you're ready? Fantastic! So nothing distracts us, can we put everything to the side and show me that you're ready to go? Great job, and here is the outcome for today's lesson, "I can choose appropriate adjectives to show the range of Paddington's emotions throughout the story." Here are the keywords that will help us to get there.

First, you're going to repeat them after me, and have a think, have you heard any of these keywords before? Can you repeat them after me? My turn, your turn.

Emotion, noun, adjective, expanded noun phrase, comma.

Thank you so much for joining in with me.

Let's talk about what those words mean.

An emotion is a feeling or mood, like happiness or anger.

A noun is a naming word, like the proper noun Paddington, or the word emotion is a thing, so it is a noun.

An adjective describes or adds detail to a noun.

An expanded noun phrase is where two adjectives are listed to describe a noun, and we will be writing those today to describe Paddington's feelings.

And a comma is a punctuation mark, in this case, used to list two adjectives in an expanded noun phrase, adjective, comma, adjective, noun.

Now, we are going to start our lesson with choosing adjectives.

We know that rereading a story really helps us to remember the plot as well as notice details in the text and the illustrations, so we are going to read and enjoy "Paddington" without stopping.

So, can you pause the video and listen to the whole story? Off you go! Did you enjoy listening to the story from the beginning all the way to the end? I know I did.

What does this story tell us about what type of character Paddington is? Let me think.

I think the story tells us that Paddington is kind.

Paddington is very curious, but Paddington can also get a bit confused, which makes him a bit silly and a bit clumsy.

I would like you, now you've listened to the whole story, to put these main events from the story in the correct order.

So, the first one is, "Paddington Bear asleep on the chair," "A bear waiting at Paddington Station," and, "Paddington Bear in a taxi exploring London." So, which one of those comes first? Which is next, and which is at the end? Pause the video now to decide.

Did you manage to sequence them all? The first event to happen is when Paddington was waiting at the station.

Next, he started to travel to the Brown family house and explored London, and finally, at the very end, we see him and leave him asleep on the chair after a long day.

Well done putting those into order.

Let's look at a story mountain of the story.

Can you remember the main things that happen? Remember, the main events are the most important parts.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Brown meet Paddington.

Then, Mr. and Mrs. Brown offer to take him home.

Next, Paddington meets people and sees the sights in London.

Next, Paddington meets the rest of the Brown family, and he floods the bathroom.

Finally, the family let him settle in and give him his favourite marmalade sandwich.

Different events or actions can change our emotions, there's our keyword, which are our feelings or our moods.

Can you think of any emotions? Let me give you one as an idea.

One emotion is happiness.

Can you think of any others? Pause the video now.

Great! Let's look at the ones that I found, happiness, sadness, excitement, anger, confusion.

Some emotions give us a positive feeling, but some give us a negative feeling.

Emotions are things, so they are nouns.

Happiness, sadness, excitement, anger, confusion.

When we describe how we or someone else is feeling, we can use adjectives because they are describing the noun.

They are describing the person or the character with the emotion.

So, happiness, the adjective would be happy.

Paddington is happy when he is eating his marmalade sandwich.

Sadness, the adjective would be sad.

Paddington might feel a bit sad when he was on his own at the station.

Excitement, the adjective is excited.

Paddington was excited when he saw all of the sights in London.

Anger, the adjective is angry.

Maybe Mrs. Bird was a little bit angry when Paddington flooded the bathroom.

Confusion goes to confused.

Paddington was very confused because he didn't know how to run a bath.

Lots of things happened to Paddington in the story, like I've just shown, which means his emotions might change.

So, at the start of the story, where Mr. and Mrs. Brown meet Paddington, I think he had a feeling, an emotion, of confusion.

He was in a new place and didn't know where he was.

Then, when Mr. and Mrs. Brown offered to take him home, he probably had the emotion of happiness.

When Paddington met people and saw the sights of London, he had the feeling of excitement.

When Paddington met the rest of the family and then flooded the bathroom, that confusion came back.

And finally, when the family let him settle in and give him his favourite marmalade sandwich, his happiness returned.

So, we are going to talk about the emotions and think of adjectives to describe those emotions in the story.

Lots of things happen, which meant his emotions change.

Which adjectives can you think of to describe Paddington's emotions in the beginning of the story? So, we know that he has maybe a feeling of confusion, but how is he feeling? What adjectives could you use? Could you pause the video now? Let's see.

You might have lonely, uncertain, which means he's not sure what's going on, worried, curious.

But then, Mr. and Mrs. Brown offer to take him home, so he's got a feeling, his emotion is happiness.

What adjectives could we use to describe that? Pause the video now.

Let me share the ones that I've had.

Can you repeat them after me so maybe you could use them, too? When Mr. and Mrs. Brown offered to take him home, he might have been feeling relieved, calm, because he was quite worried, and all of a sudden feels calm, happy, welcomed.

Fantastic! So, already, we've got lots of different emotions and adjectives that we can use to describe those emotions, So can you match the adjective to the parts of the beginning of the story to describe how Paddington was feeling? So, we have two events, Paddington was alone on the platform, Mr. and Mrs. Brown offered to take him home, and the adjectives I have are lonely, relieved, calm, and worried.

Could you pause the video now? Let's see.

So, when was Paddington feeling lonely, when he was alone on the platform or when Mr. and Mrs. Brown offered to take him home? When he was alone on the platform, he was feeling lonely.

When was he feeling relieved, which means you go, "Phew?" Was it when he was alone on the platform or when Mr. and Mrs. Brown offered to take him home? Yes, when Mr. and Mrs. Brown offered to take him home, which is also when he was feeling calm, because he had that feeling of worry and uncertainty, and then all of a sudden calm, (sighs) which means he was worried when he was alone on the platform.

Great job.

Now, let's have a think about Paddington in the middle of the story.

Because he was meeting lots of people and seeing new things, he had the emotion of excitement.

How could we describe that emotion using adjectives? Maybe excited, amazed.

Can you think of any more? Pause the video now.

Let's see, Paddington was feeling, in the middle of the story, he was feeling hungry.

He was feeling hungry, wasn't he, which is why he ate all of those cakes.

Thirsty.

Clumsy, (gasps) this was when he slipped.

Shocked because he slipped.

But then, once he started meeting people, he felt welcomed, excited, amazed, loved.

Could you take a picture of your favourite adjectives? I think mine is amazed and clumsy.

Now, moving on to the end, Paddington had a feeling of confusion when he flooded the bathroom.

He was feeling curious.

How else was he feeling, especially when he made that mess? Pause the video now.

He was feeling curious.

Can you repeat that? Unsure, which is a bit like uncertain, entertained, because even though he was making such a mess, at first, he didn't really realise it was a problem, did he? So, he just found it all very entertaining and fun.

Shocked when he realised it got a bit out of hand, but then, all was well.

The family let him settle in and gave him his favourite marmalade sandwich.

How is he feeling here? Imagine how he's feeling.

You could always look back at the illustration as well.

Pause the video now.

Here's ones that I've heard, he was feeling relaxed, content, which just means he's very happy with what he's got, sleepy, and calm.

Maybe you could take a picture again of your favourite.

I really like content.

That's one that I don't use very often, and I quite like shocked.

Great.

So, this time, can you match the adjective to the parts of the end of the story to describe how Paddington was feeling? The two parts we have is when Paddington flooded the bathroom and when Paddington was on the sofa, settling in with the Brown family.

Our adjectives are relaxed, shocked, sleepy, and entertained.

Can you match it to the main events of the story? Pause the video now.

Let's see how you got on.

Was Paddington relaxed when he flooded the bathroom? No, he was relaxed when he was on the sofa with the Brown family.

When was Paddington shocked? When he flooded the bathroom.

He was very sleepy on the sofa in front of the fire, and he was, at first, entertained when he flooded the bathroom because he thought it was so much fun.

So, thinking of different adjectives to describe emotions can help make our reading and writing more interesting, because if we just use the same one, happy, sad, confused, excited, over and over and over again, that'll get quite boring.

It also means that we can really show the detail of our thinking, too, and like I said, our writing would be really repetitive.

Which adjectives that we have used would you like to use in your writing in the future? Which ones did you take a picture of? Which ones did you like? Let me hear them.

(gasps) So many great adjectives.

We are going to create a word bank because it can help us to remember the adjectives, how they're spelt, and then we can use them in our writing.

Here is our word bank, adjectives to describe Paddington's emotions, and you can see, down the side, we have got beginning, middle, and end.

So, in the beginning, he was feeling lonely, curious, but then, by the end of the beginning, he was feeling calm and relieved.

In the middle, he was feeling thirsty, but then he slipped, so he felt clumsy.

Then, he got to see the sights of London, so felt excited and amazed.

By the end, when he was flooding the bathroom, he was unsure and shocked, but then got on the sofa and felt calm and content.

Now it's your turn to create a word bank by choosing adjectives to describe Paddington's emotions throughout the story.

You can use some of the adjectives below, or you can think of your own.

So, you need to choose two adjectives for the beginning, two for the middle, and two for the end.

I'm going to read the ones that are there, but like I said, you can also think of your own, maybe from the learning that we've done today or from a learning in the past.

Are you listening? Shocked, welcomed, entertained, relaxed, clumsy, content, amazed, curious, lonely, relieved.

Look really closely for the spellings of those words if you're going to use them to help you to spell them correctly.

Pause the video now.

Fantastic! Here is an example of a completed word bank.

In the beginning, Paddington felt confused and inquisitive, which is another word for curious.

In the middle, he felt hungry, but then very messy.

And by the end, he felt content and sleepy.

Can you spot the adjectives that someone thought of themselves that weren't in the list? Can you see them? Get your detective eyes.

(gasps) I can see them, inquisitive and messy.

Maybe, if you'd like, you could take a photo of those as new ones that you could use.

Well done for creating such a great word bank.

Now, let's move on to the second part of our lesson, writing expanded noun phrases.

We have generated lots of vocabulary there, and sometimes you might want to use more than one adjective to describe a noun, and when we do this, this creates an expanded noun phrase.

Can you say that with me? Expanded noun phrase.

Great! We can create expanded noun phrases to describe characters, such as Paddington, by choosing the right adjectives for the right point of the story.

So, here is our noun, Paddington.

What adjective could I use to describe Paddington when he has flooded the bathroom? Shocked, shocked Paddington.

Now, that would work, but I'd like to choose another one because he was also confused.

Confused, shocked Paddington flooded the bathroom.

Confused, shocked Paddington slipped on the cake.

But in our expanded noun phrases, if we use two adjectives, they don't like to be together, so they must be separated with a comma, confused, comma, shocked Paddington.

So, which of these is a correctly punctuated expanded noun phrase? The expanded noun phrase is relaxed, content Paddington.

Is it relaxed content Paddington, relaxed, comma, content, comma, Paddington, or relaxed, comma, content Paddington? Which one is correct, and how do you know? Pause the video.

Let's see.

C is correct because, remember, the comma must separate the adjectives.

A hasn't got any commas at all, so those adjectives are not very happy, and B has two commas.

It has a comma separating the adjectives, but then a comma separating the adjective from the noun.

We just need adjective, comma, adjective, noun, so relaxed, comma, content Paddington.

Here is my word bank.

I will choose two adjectives from the beginning of the story to describe Paddington's emotions.

I am going to choose lonely and curious.

At the platform, he was feeling lonely, but also a bit curious because he was in a new place.

So, I have got space for my adjective, comma, adjective, noun.

My noun is Paddington because we are describing Paddington.

The first adjective I'm going to use is lonely.

There's my first adjective.

Before I write my next one, I need to separate it with a comma, lonely, comma, curious, there's my next adjective, Paddington.

So, I'm going to say it, lonely, curious Paddington.

Now I'm going to say it with the punctuation, lonely, comma, curious Paddington.

Let's create more expanded noun phrases to describe the emotions of Paddington in the middle of the story.

Adjective, comma, adjective, noun.

My noun is always Paddington, and you can see Paddington has a capital letter because it is a proper noun.

Which adjective am I going to use for the middle of the story? Hungry.

Before he got to that cafe, he was feeling hungry.

So, my first adjective is hungry.

My first and my next adjective are separated by a comma, hungry, comma, thirsty Paddington.

Thirsty is my second adjective.

You can see I'm trying to choose two adjectives that are linked or from the same point of the story, hungry, thirsty Paddington.

Hungry, comma, thirsty Paddington.

The expanded noun phrase does not start with a capital letter because it is not a sentence because there is no verb.

Maybe I could put it into a sentence, hungry, thirsty Paddington slipped on the cake, but for now, it's just a phrase, not a sentence, so it does not start with a capital letter.

So, now it's your turn to write three expanded noun phrases to describe Paddington's emotions in the beginning, then the middle, then the end of the story, and use your word bank to help you.

Adjective, comma, adjective, noun, and the noun is always Paddington.

Pause the video now.

Fantastic job! Here are some examples, curious, lonely Paddington at the beginning, clumsy, shocked Paddington in the middle, content, sleepy Paddington by the end.

Can you see that all of those expanded noun phrases are adjective, comma, adjective, noun? Did you remember to separate your two adjectives with a comma? Give me a thumbs-up if you did, thumbs-down if you didn't.

If your thumbs are down, that's okay, but go back and separate your adjectives now.

What a great lesson! Well done, and thank you for learning with me today.

We have learned and seen that a character's emotions can change at different points of a story, and an emotion describes how someone is feeling.

Emotions can be different and shown in different ways, so descriptions of them must be chosen carefully.

We now know that including a range of objectives to describe the same feeling stops repetition and makes writing more interesting, and we know that when you choose two adjectives to describe a noun, this is called an expanded noun phrase.

Make sure to keep hold of those expanded noun phrases in case you need them again.

I've had a great time learning with you today, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Bye!.
