In today's lesson, we're going to continue learning new vocabulary that we can use to describe emotions.

And in today's lesson, we're focusing on words associated with feeling sad, sadness.

So thank you for joining.

I really hope you enjoyed today's lesson and let's get started.

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

Here are your key words for today's lesson.

We'll 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 your lesson today, and the first will be learning the vocabulary and then in the second, we'll be applying the vocabulary.

So let's start with learning the vocabulary.

Before we introduce the words, I want you to ever think about this question, what makes you feel sad? Can you think of a time when you have felt really sad? You can use these sentence starters to help you.

I feel sad when, or I felt really sad last weekend because, and then you can discuss this with your partner, with your class, your teacher, whoever you are with or if you want to even just have a little think by yourself.

Let's pause video now and off you go.

Okay, here are some possible responses, but I'm sure all of your answers were really different as well.

I feel sad when I say goodbye in the mornings at school.

Maybe this person doesn't like saying goodbye to his parents at the beginning of the school day.

I am sad when it rains, so I can't play outside.

And I felt sad last weekend because I lost my favourite teddy bear.

I wonder if anything like any of these situations happened to you before and it's made you feel sad as well.

So there are many synonyms for sad, which describe the feeling in a really precise way.

And we are going to explore in today's lesson some more precise words for sad.

Here's our first word.

Before I tell you what the word is, I want you to have a look at the picture and describe what is happening.

What can you see? Pause video now and off you go.

Okay, so in this picture, this is character is Oz, and she is lying on the floor crying her eyes out.

She looks really, really upset.

And then you can see in the little bubble thing there's a broken heart.

That's a bit of a clue for you there.

The word for this picture is heartbroken.

My turn.

Your turn.

Heartbroken.

Heartbroken is an adjective and it means feeling very upset and sad about something.

So let's listen to a story.

This morning, Oz was given some sad news and she felt heartbroken.

She lay on the floor and could not stop crying.

She was so upset.

She felt like her heart had broken into two pieces.

So when have you felt heartbroken? Me personally, I was heartbroken when my best friend moved abroad and I couldn't see them every day.

When have you felt heartbroken? You can use this sentence to help started to help you.

I was heartbroken when, and now you can discuss this with your partner, your class, or whoever you are with.

And just remember that if someone is telling you about a moment that they felt heartbroken, it's maybe quite a sad topic or sad moment.

So making sure you're lending some support and a kind listening ear to your friend or partner.

So pause video now and off you go.

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

I was heartbroken when my pet fish died and I couldn't play with them again.

It's a really sad thing when pets die and that can leave people feeling heartbroken.

Well done.

So checking for understanding.

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

Okay, let's all say this together.

3, 2, 1.

It's heartbroken.

Well done! Okay, here's our next picture.

Before I reveal the word, pause the video now and discuss what you can see happening in the picture.

Off you go! Okay, so this is Oz again, the character.

It looks like it's her birthday and she's opened a present.

Does she look happy with the present she's opened? It looks like she does not like that jumper that she's received, does she? So she's feeling a little bit disappointed.

My turn.

Your turn.

Disappointed.

Disappointed is an adjective and it means like feeling something isn't as good as you had expected it to be.

So she thought maybe she was gonna open an incredible toy or game or something that she was really excited for.

And then when it was a jumper that she didn't want, she felt a little bit disappointed.

So let's listen to a story.

It was Oz's birthday and she was hoping for a new camera.

She felt disappointed when she unwrapped a jumper she didn't like.

Although she was disappointed with the present, she was considerate of her aunt's feelings and thanked her for the kind gift 'cause although she was a little bit disappointed, she knows that she can't be really upset because someone's still giving her a gift and she has to still show that she's really grateful.

So she was a little bit disappointed about that.

So when have you felt disappointed? When has something not been quite as good as you had expected or hoped for? Me personally, I felt disappointed when our school trip to the farm was cancelled.

I'd been excited for months.

Now thinking, discussing with your partner, your class, when have you felt disappointed? You can use this sentence starter to help you.

I was disappointed when? Pause the video now and off you go.

Okay, here's a possible response.

I was disappointed when I didn't do very well in my spelling test.

I had practised lots and I thought I knew all the spelling tests, so I'd expected to do really well and then when I didn't, I was disappointed.

Well done.

So checking for understanding, what are the adjectives that match these pictures? Pause the video now.

Okay, let's start with our first one.

Oz lying on the floor with the broken heart.

The adjective is 3, 2, 1, altogether, heartbroken.

Well done.

Then the next picture of her receiving the jumper she didn't like so much.

The adjective is 3, 2, 1.

Disappointed.

Well done! Okay, here's our next picture.

Have a think about what you can see is in the picture.

What is happening? Pause the video now.

Okay, so in this picture, the character is Brick.

He doesn't look very happy, does he? He looks like he's kind of walking around in a bit of a huff, kicking a paper ball thing, not looking where he's going.

Hands in the pockets, hunched over shoulders, not looking very pleased.

The word is sulky.

My turn.

Your turn.

Sulky.

Sulky is an adjective and it means being quiet and grumpy and moping about so that's what Brick is doing in this picture here, is moping about in a bit of a grumpy, sulky mood.

Let's listen to a story.

Brick didn't get what he wanted, so he started to sulk.

Life is so unfair.

The sulky boy thought staring at his feet.

He stormed off in a strop down the street and walked straight in to a lamppost.

Brick was stunned for a second, but then he started to giggle.

So he kind of, he wasn't so unhappy and miserable that he couldn't see the funny side of bumping into the into the lamppost.

He was grumpy, he was a bit sulky, but it wasn't really, really serious.

So when have you been sulky? I was feeling sulky when my parents said I couldn't have a sleepover with my friend.

I was a bit disappointed, I was a bit grumpy then because I was feel.

And I was in a sulky mood because I wanted to go and see my friends and I wasn't allowed.

When have you been sulky? His sentence started to help you.

Off you go.

Okay, here's a possible response.

I was sulky because I wasn't allowed to stay up late and I had to go to bed before my brother.

So that put me in a really grumpy mood and I was sulky then all evening.

Well done.

Checking for understanding.

What are the adjectives that match these pictures? Pause the video now and have a think.

Okay, we're gonna say the words altogether.

The first one, Oz lying on the floor crying her eyes out.

It is heartbroken.

Well done! Our second picture Oz's not like happy with the jumper she received.

The word is everybody, disappointed.

Well done.

And then our third picture, Brick walking down the street, moping down the street in a bit of a strop.

The word was sulky.

Great job! Okay, here's our final word for today's lesson.

Before I reveal what the word is, have a look at the picture closely.

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

Okay, so this is yin and yang.

They look like they're sat in maybe a very cold bath, a bath they do not want to be in.

They do not look happy about it.

They're having a bath 'cause they know they have to, but they really do not want to so they are miserable.

My turn.

Your turn.

Miserable.

Miserable is an adjective that means feeling very unhappy or uncomfortable.

Let's listen to a story.

Yin and yang did not want to have a bath.

They didn't want to get splashed, soaked, or worst of all, bathed.

As they sat there on that glum Sunday afternoon, they felt well and truly miserable.

So when having you felt miserable? I felt miserable when it rained on the day we were meant to go to the beach.

So we spent all day inside.

I was miserable, I just sat on the sofa, didn't wanna do anything 'cause I wanted to be outside.

So when have you felt miserable? Here's a sentence started to help you.

I was miserable when? Pause the video now and discusses with your partner or your class or whoever you're with, off you go.

Okay, here's a possible response.

I was miserable when I had a cold so I couldn't go to my friend's birthday party.

I think that would make me feel pretty miserable if I'd been super excited for a birthday party and then I couldn't go 'cause I had a cold night.

I'd just sit in my bed all day.

I'd feel pretty miserable.

Well done.

It's time for task A.

You now need to match each picture to the correct word and definition.

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

Pause the video now and off you go.

Well done.

Let's go through it.

So heartbroken, feeling very upset and sad about something, goes to the picture of Oz crying on the floor with the picture of the broken heart.

Miserable, feeling very unhappy or uncomfortable.

Yin and yang hating the bath, having a miserable time in the bath.

Sulky being quiet and grumpy and moping about.

Brick that's in his drop.

Isn't he kicking the ball? No, in a very sulky mood.

And then disappointed, feeling like something isn't as good as you expected.

That's when Oz was a bit disappointed about her birthday present.

Well done everybody.

Okay, 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 sad to describe the feeling in a really precise way.

This does not mean one word is better or more ambitious than another.

But we want to choose the word which describes the feeling most precisely because actually heartbroken is really quite different feeling to disappointed, isn't it? So we want to make sure we're using the most precise word in the sentence.

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

We could say I was sad when my pet rabbit ran away.

That would totally make sense, but I think we could be more precise.

We want to show just how sad the person was.

I was heartbroken when my pet rabbit ran away.

I felt like my heart had broken into two pieces because I was so sad.

She loved that pet or I loved that pet more than anything.

I was heartbroken.

I was so sad.

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

So you could say, I felt sad when I was too unwell to go to the park.

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

We could say I felt miserable when I was too unwell to go to the park.

I was miserable because it was not fun at all being stuck inside all day and I missed my friends.

We were all having fun together.

That made me feel quite miserable.

That have another look at precise word choices.

You could say she was in a sad mood because she wasn't allowed to play on her tablet any longer.

You could say that, but I think if you're not allowed to play on your tablet anymore, you're gonna be a bit a bit annoyed, aren't you? So you could say she was in a sulky mood because she wasn't allowed to play on her tablet any longer.

She was sulky because she wasn't allowed to do what she wanted to do.

So a bit more precise here than just sad.

Let's have another look at another example.

The class was sad when it was raining in break.

That makes sense, but let's be a little bit more precise.

The class were disappointed when it was raining in break.

They were disappointed because they couldn't go outside at break because they'd been excited all morning.

They expected to be go outside, able to go outside and have a play and then they couldn't and that was really disappointing.

So that's a little bit more precise than just sad.

Okay, here is a scale which goes from sad to more sad to the most sad.

Which of these words do you think means the most sad? Pause the video now and discuss this with your partner or your class and think about which word goes in which position on the scale.

Off you go.

Okay, so there isn't a right or wrong answer to this, but I really hope you enjoyed discussing this with your partner.

The words can be arranged this way on the scale, but don't worry if yours wasn't exact.

You didn't arrange it in the exact same way.

So my first one was Sulky.

You're a little bit grumpy, a little bit moody, you're a little bit sad.

Disappointed, a little bit more sad than that 'cause you're expecting something really great and then it didn't happen.

Miserable, if you can see Yin and Yang, there they are miserable, they're really unhappy.

And then heartbroken, you are devastated.

Your heart feel.

You feel like your heart's broken in two.

That is so sad.

So I thought that was the most sad, but as I said, don't worry if you didn't do it exactly the same way.

This is just what I thought.

So it's time for task B.

You need to fill in the blanks using either disappointed or heartbroken.

So listen to the sentence really carefully.

Think about your understanding of the definitions of disappointed and heartbroken and think about which one is the most precise word for each sentence.

So your first sentence is, we were, hmm, when we arrived at the cinema too late, we missed the film.

And then B, I felt, hmm, because my best friend moved to the other side of the world.

Then once you filled in the words, now you need to tell your partner why you chose each word and you can use this sentence starter to help you.

I chose disappointed because, or I chose heartbroken because.

Pause the video now and off you go.

Okay, well done everybody.

Welcome back.

I hope you enjoyed that.

So the first sentence we were, hmm, when we arrived at the cinema too late, we were disappointed.

It would be a bit extreme to say we were heartbroken.

It's just a bit disappointing 'cause it means you missed the start of the film, doesn't it (indistinct).

Then I felt heartbroken because my best friend moved to the other side of the world.

That is so sad.

Some of your best friend who plays with every day and then you don't get to see them anymore.

That is pretty heartbreaking.

You would feel heartbroken.

So telling my partner why I chose the word, I chose disappointed in sentence A, because it would be annoying and disappointing to miss the film, but not the worst thing in the world.

So it's disappointing rather than heartbreaking.

Great job today, everybody! Really well done.

I wonder if you'll be able to use any of the vocabulary we've learned in today's lesson, not only in your writing, but also in your discussions and when you're talking to your friends and teachers and family.

Well done.

Here's a summary of everything we've learned.

Heartbroken is an adjective, which means feeling very upset and sad about something.

Miserable is an adjective, which means feeling very unhappy or uncomfortable.

Disappointed is an adjective, which means feeling like something isn't as good as you expected.

And sulky is an adjective, which means being quiet and grumpy and moping about.

Well done everybody.

Great job!.
