Objectives:
- Teach ESL kids lesson how to talk about feelings using adjectives of emotion.

- The lesson also teaches the extreme forms of these adjectives. Therefore, instead of always using ‘very’ before adjectives, they will expand their vocabulary by learning synonyms that describe the same feelings but in an extreme form.
- Learn to give reasons or show causes of different feelings while using the conjunction ‘because’.
