Lesson video

Hi everybody, it's Ms. Gardner and welcome to today's vocabulary lesson.

In today's lesson, we're going to continue to learn new vocabulary to do with emotions.

This time we are focusing on vocabulary that we can use to describe when we're feeling really angry.

I really hope you enjoys today's lesson.

Thank you so much for joining and let's get started.

Your learning outcome for today's lesson is to effectively use new vocabulary associated with anger.

So let's start by looking at the key words.

We're going to do my turn, your turn.

Adjective.

An adjective is a word that describes a noun.

Synonym.

A synonym is a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word.

So there are two sections of our lesson today, and the first will be learning the new vocabulary.

And then the second part of the lesson will be applying the vocabulary.

So let's start with learning the vocabulary.

Before we look at the words, I want you to think about this question.

What makes you feel angry? Can you think of a time when you have felt really angry? Discuss these questions with your partner, your class, or whoever you're with.

And you can use these sentence starters to help you.

I feel angry when.

Or I felt really angry last weekend because.

Pause video now and off you go.

Okay.

I hope you enjoyed having that discussion with your partner.

Here is some possible responses.

I feel angry when my brother takes my teddy bear.

Has that ever made you feel angry before? I am angry when my friends won't share their toys with me.

Does that make you feel angry? Have you experienced that before? And I felt angry last weekend because we lost our football game.

I can see how that might make someone feel angry.

In fact, I can see how all of these experience might make people feel a little bit angry.

There are many synonyms for 'angry' which describe the feeling in a really precise way.

We're gonna explore some more precise words for the word 'angry' So let's start by looking at our first word.

Have a look at this picture.

What can you see? What's happening? Pause the video now and have a little think.

Okay, so in this picture we have the character Oz, and it looks like she's trying to build a tower of cards that keep falling over.

Maybe the wind blows and it falls over, or something happens and they keep falling over so she cannot build this tower of playing cards and that must be so annoying.

You can see she's got annoyed expression on her face.

She's clenching her hands together.

She looks like she's getting quite impatient.

She looks really, here's the word, frustrated.

My turn, your turn.

Frustrated.

Frustrated is an adjective and it means feeling so annoyed that you cannot stand it anymore.

Let's listen to a story.

This morning, Oz was trying to build a tower out of playing cards.

The tower kept collapsing just as she was about to finish.

Oz felt so frustrated; she wanted to rip up the cards in frustration.

So when have you felt frustrated? I was so frustrated when I couldn't tie my shoelaces by myself.

When have you felt frustrated? Have a think about this question and tell your partner or your class, someone in your class.

You can use this sentence starter to help you.

I felt frustrated when.

Pause video now.

Okay, here's a possible response to this question.

I wonder if yours was a similar response.

I felt frustrated when I couldn't reach the cookie jar on the top shelf! That is a frustrating feeling, isn't it? When you really want something, you wanna be able to do it by yourself, but you just aren't tall enough.

Very annoying, very frustrating.

So checking for understanding.

What is the adjective that matches this picture? Pause the video now.

Okay, let's all say it together.

This adjective is, three, two, one, frustrated.

Well done.

Here's our next picture.

Have a look at the picture.

What is happening? What can you see? Pause the video now.

Okay, so in this picture, we have the character Armie and it looks like he's trying to pour himself some cereal, but the box is empty.

There's no cereal left.

He does not look happy about it.

He's got a frown on his face and not very happy look on his face because he is very grumpy.

My turn, your turn.

Grumpy.

Grumpy is an adjective and it means feeling stuck in a bad mood.

Let's listen to a story.

Armie woke up in a grumpy mood 'cause he had not slept well.

He was so hungry and when he realised there was no cereal, he became even grumpier.

His mum played his favourite song to try and cheer him up but Armie was feeling too grumpy to smile.

When have you felt grumpy? I was in a grumpy mood when my mum said I couldn't have chocolate cake before dinner.

Why could I not have chocolate cake before dinner? That's so unfair.

That made me feel really grumpy.

When have you felt grumpy? Tell the person next to you.

You can use this sentence starter to help you.

I was grumpy when.

Pause video now.

Okay, here's a possible response.

I was grumpy in the car because it was such a long journey and I didn't have anything to do! Maybe you weren't allowed to play on your tablet.

Maybe you felt a little bit carsick so you couldn't read your book so you were really bored and really grumpy.

Checking for understanding.

What are the adjectives that match these pictures? Pause the video now.

Okay, let's do the first one together.

The picture of Oz with her tower of cards that keep falling down.

She is really frustrated.

Well done.

And then the next picture, Armie woke up in a not very happy mood.

There was no cereal.

He was really, everybody, grumpy.

Well done.

Okay, here's our next picture.

Before I tell you the word, have a look at the picture.

What do you think is happening? What can you see? Pause the video now.

Okay, so in this picture we have Brick and Armie.

Brick is making silly faces.

He's sticking his tongue out.

He's trying to annoy Armie or get Armie's attention.

Armie is not funny.

It's funny.

He's rolling his eyes.

He's crossing his arms. He does not look particularly impressed.

In fact, he looks quite annoyed.

My turn, your turn.

Annoyed.

Annoyed is an adjective and it means feeling a little bit angry.

When you are annoyed, you are not furious or raging or the angriest you've ever been.

You're just a little bit annoyed and fed up and you're finding things, finding things annoying.

So let's listen to a story.

Armie was starting to get annoyed.

He was not in the mood for Brick and his silliness.

"I'm not in the mood, Brick," moaned Armie.

Brick copied him in a silly voice.

"I'm not in the mood." Annoyed, Armie folded his arms and rolled his eyes.

So when have you been annoyed? When have you found something really annoying? And this doesn't mean you are furious and really, really angry.

It's not quite as angry as that, but you're just a little bit fed up and annoyed.

I was annoyed when my sister cheated in a game and then beat me! When have you been annoyed? Pause the video now and tell your partner, your classmate, whoever you are with and you can use this sentence starter to help you.

I was annoyed because.

Off you go.

Okay, so here's a possible response.

I was annoyed because my friend kept talking when I was trying to watch the film.

Someone wants to watch the film and they can't hear what's happening 'cause someone keeps talking over it.

That might well make them feel annoyed.

Checking for understanding.

What are the adjectives that match these pictures? Pause video now.

Okay, let's go through it.

Our first picture where Brick is filling his silly faces and Armie is crossing his arms because Armie is very, let's all do this together, three, two, one, annoyed.

Well done.

Okay, our next picture describing Armie here, he's not happy 'cause there's no more cereal and he's really tired and hungry.

So we can describe him as, everybody, three, two, one, grumpy.

Well done.

And then our final picture, it's Oz with the tower of cards that keep falling over.

She is really, everybody, three, two, one, frustrated.

Good job.

Okay, here's our final word associated with anger.

Before I tell you what the word is, have a look at the picture.

What can you see? What is happening? Pause the video now.

Okay, so this is Plato.

He does not look happy.

He looks like he's about to stamp his feet in anger.

His eyes are red 'cause he's so angry.

He is not in a good mood.

He's really, really angry.

It looks like steams coming out of his head because he is fuming.

My turn, your turn.

Fuming.

Fuming is an adjective and it means feeling lots of anger building up inside you.

So let's listen to a story.

Plato was fuming when his little brother scribbled all over his homework.

He started stamping his feet in anger and his blood began to boil.

He went outside for some fresh air to try and calm down.

If your blood is about to boil, that's not actually about to boil.

It's an expression that we say if you're feeling really, really angry or fuming.

So when have you been fuming? When have you been really angry? I was fuming when my friend broke my new toy and didn't even say sorry! When have you been fuming? Tell your partner.

You can use this sentence starter to help you.

I was fuming because.

Pause video now.

Okay.

This is one response.

I was fuming because my sister took my book without asking and then she lost it.

That may put this person feel really angry and fuming.

Okay, it's time for Task A.

You need to match each picture to the correct word or definition.

So drawing lines from the picture to the word in its definition.

Pause video now.

Off you go.

Okay, let's go through it.

So frustrated, feeling so annoyed that you can't stand it anymore.

That's the picture of Oz with her tower of cards that keep falling down.

So frustrating.

She's so frustrated.

Grumpy, feeling stuck in a bad mood.

That's Armie in a grumpy mood in the morning because there's no cereal and he hasn't slept very well.

He's hungry and grumpy.

Annoyed when you're feeling a little bit angry.

That's when Armie's just looking a little bit annoyed at Brick because he's just being silly and he's not in the mood.

And then fuming when you are really angry and you're feeling lots of anger building up inside.

That's Plato with steam coming out of his head.

He's so angry.

Really well done.

It's time for the second part of the lesson where we are going to be applying the vocabulary.

When we are speaking or writing, we can choose synonyms for 'angry' to describe the feeling in a really precise way.

This does not mean that one word is better or more ambitious than the other.

But we just want to choose the word which describes the feeling most precisely.

Because actually, although these words we've learned are all synonyms of anger or angry, actually the word 'annoyed' is quite different to fuming 'cause fuming is way more angry than annoyed.

So we could use each word depending on the situation.

So let's have a look at some precise word choices.

We could say I was angry when I couldn't zip up my my coat.

But let's be a little bit more precise.

We could say, I was frustrated when I couldn't zip up my coat.

It was annoying not being able to zip up my coat so I felt very frustrated.

Let's have a look at another precise word choice.

I was angry because no one wanted to play my game.

You could say that.

But again, I think we can be more precise here.

I was grumpy because no one wanted to play my game.

I was grumpy 'cause I wanted to play a fun game.

No one else wanted to.

So that put me in a bit of a grumpy mood.

Let's have a look at another example.

You could say she was angry because her little sister kept distracting her when she was trying to read.

But again, I think we can be a little bit more precise here.

She was annoyed because her little sister kept distracting her when she was trying to read.

She was annoyed her sister was irritating her.

It's annoying if you're trying to read and someone's distracting you, but it probably won't make you absolutely fuming or really, really angry.

It's more that it just annoyed her.

And then finally, let's have a look at one more precise word choice.

You could say, the man was angry when he realised the train had been delayed again.

But let's be more precise here.

The man was fuming when he realised the train had been delayed again.

He was fuming the train was delayed because now he was going to be really late and maybe he had somewhere really important to be.

So that made him really angry.

So checking for understanding.

Which of these words do you think means the most angry? So you're going to place the words on the scale from angry to angrier to angriest, the most angry.

There isn't a right or wrong answer here.

So have a discussion with your partner, your class, and have a think about where you could place the words on the scale.

Pause video now.

Okay, so the words can be arranged on this way.

And again, just as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't matter if yours haven't been placed on the exact same way.

This is just the way that I think they could be organised.

Annoyed is angry but definitely not the most angry.

If you're annoyed, you're just finding something a bit irritating.

Grumpy.

You're in a grumpy mood.

You're not very happy.

Frustrated.

You can get frustrated when things keep going wrong where you just can't do something.

It's frustrating.

And then fuming when you are really, really angry.

This is the most angry you could be.

It's fuming.

Well done.

Okay, it's time for Task B.

You need to fill in the blanks using either 'fuming' or 'grumpy'.

Use the scale from the previous task to help you and the definitions of fuming and grumpy so that you are using the most precise word in each sentence.

a, I was in a, hmm, mood because it rained all day.

B, I was, hmm, when I saw my baby brother break my toy castle.

Once you've chosen which word goes in each sentence, tell your partner why you chose each word.

And you can use this sentence starter to help you.

I chose grumpy because.

Or I chose fuming because.

Pause the video now and off you go.

Okay, well done, everybody.

So, I was in a grumpy mood because it rained all day.

You're a little bit moody 'cause you can't do what you're supposed to do or you can't go and have fun outside.

And then I was fuming when I saw my baby brother break my toy castle.

I was so angry.

I was fuming.

Then telling my partner why I chose each word.

I chose 'grumpy' because being inside all day when it was raining put me in a bad mood but I wasn't absolutely fuming! I was grumpy more than fuming.

So that's more precise word choice for that sentence.

Really well done, everybody.

I hope you enjoyed Task B.

You've learned lots of new words today and I hope that you'll be able to use them in really precise ways in writing or speaking sometime soon.

Great job.

Frustrated is an adjective which means feeling so annoyed that you can't stand it anymore.
