One Hundred Words : One Hundred Words

Slide 2 : This will help the student think about each word differently. It is not just a word but a value to a conversation and communicates values to the rest of the words. Developing vocabulary in this way, allows the links to the base emotion to give better understanding of other words that are not in the listeners vocabulary at the time they are spoken. By developing quick links to base emotion words allows for faster vocabulary building and better verbalization of emotion in conversation. Therefore the last 100 Words page challenges the student to think about the emotional values of word they use. After this is worked through, the continued emphasis on these four areas which are critical to good communication. Emotion accounts for a large part of communication. Therefore the need to understand the emotional values of words is vital for communication in ANY language.

Slide 3 : The idea behind the 100 words is to know how many words or depth of vocabulary a student has. use the words to give emotional values to the words from a base. This will help the student think about each word differently. It is not just a word but a value to a conversation and communicates values to the rest of the words.

Sensory ValuesLook in Column 4 ~~ Emotion : Sensory ValuesLook in Column 4 ~~ Emotion One of the key factors in learning English is the value of words to use. When we teach we need to teach the emotional values. This means that when we teach a value we must add the action and reaction to the learning cycle.

Finish the Chart : Finish the Chart Step 1 Look back at the 100 words you made in the first chart. Time / Action / Motion / Emotion Step 2 From the base word ( value ) give each of the words you wrote an emotional value

Slide 10 : We want to think about the emotional value of each word. Emotion value is IMPORTANT in communication. By choosing words that communicate our emotion we learn to understand others communication better as well. English conversation puts a lot of value not only on the words but the rhythm of them. This is how you should do it. Choose one (1) word which gives a ZERO emotion. Example ~~ Angry Mark each other word H1 H2 … for a higher emotion or L1 L2 … for a lower emotion value. This is not hard but takes time to think. Take your time. Just + and - from 0 ~~ EMOTION

Writing ~~ Step 1Basic 1 : Writing ~~ Step 1Basic 1 Step 1 Choose one (1) time/action/motion/emotion word from the list. Write them in the boxes. u Hour/play/hitting/hard w v x

Writing ~~ Step 2Basic 2 : Writing ~~ Step 2Basic 2 Step 2 Make a sentence with each of the four words. Write them in the boxes below. You can mix the order of the words to help you. u At five o'clock I play baseball, hitting the ball hard. v w x Step 3 Read them out loud in front of the class.

Writing ~~ Beyond Basic : Writing ~~ Beyond Basic For example the word “angry”. “Angry” is a basic emotion. Let us give it a value of – 0. How do you show “angry”? Maybe with an angry face.

“Angry” : “Angry” Now let us take some time to think of other words for “angry”. How about “hate”. What value does “hate” have? It has a high emotional value.

“Angry” : “Angry” How about a less emotional word for “angry”. Let us try “disagree”. This is a long word for kindergarten but should be ok for the mid-elementary or higher. So we have a basic and more advanced vocabulary from one word.

“Angry” : “Angry” Often miscommunication is about lack of vocabulary. The wrong word can add fire or kill the fire of this problem. Once you learn to, not only memorize but conceptualize the core word they can branch out into more of the same idea expressing different levels of emotion.

Practice “ Angry” : Practice “ Angry” Write down Angry, Hate, and Disagree on different cards. Say them with your voice first. Each with a different emotional value. Repeat this with the student. Make sure they change their voice and emotion with each one.

“Angry” : “Angry” We have now helped the student to express themselves better from one word. We have also (+) added an emotion to be connected with the word. Did you write your words on the same color of paper?

“Angry” : “Angry” Emotions need color. Red is for high, etc. Color is also important to our learning. We will remember color better than words. By connecting words with color you (+) add to the learning process for later.

“Angry” ~~ Writing Practice : “Angry” ~~ Writing Practice Now we have three words, emotions, and colours. Now let us make a simple sentence. I hate you. I am angry with you. I disagree with you.

“Angry” : “Angry” Each sentence is different. This matches the difference in the word and emotion. If we use the same emotion in each sentence we confuse the student understanding. Have the student repeat the sentence with you with the complementing emotion.

“Angry” : “Angry” Now the students have a sentence to focus on with the emotion and the word. We want to make a drama script. Think about 3 relationships that can make your student angry, disagree, or hate.

“Angry” ~~ Making the Drama : “Angry” ~~ Making the Drama Make each one into a scene with the strongest first ~~ “hate”. In English we want to learn the high to low emotion, or red to blue colour sequence and connect them to a real idea. Let us make the scene with hate.

“Angry” ~~ Drama : “Angry” ~~ Drama Introduction Scene 1 You gave your friend a toy and they won’t give it back. Ask the student about their emotion. Is their emotion high or low? Now write each scene.

“Angry” Scene 1 : “Angry” Scene 1 Jane – Look at this new toy (Kind) + I got for Christmas (higher) + from my mother. (higher) Look at this new toy I got for Christmas from my mother. Kelly – Wow it is so nice. (Kind) + May I hold it? (lower) + It is so soft. (lower) Wow it is so nice. May I hold it? It is so soft.

Finish the Drama ~ Homework : Finish the Drama ~ Homework ~~ Follow the idea of keeping the toy from the original child. ~~ Use at least three (3) different categories of words in EACH SENTECE. ~~ Remember to choose the words that show the correct emotion and good grammar.
