Step 1 Warm-up Write the question “ What is LOVE ” on the board and brainstorm the students ’ answers . Step 2 Video activity Tell the students they are going to see an episode of the TV series “ What ’ s the big idea ” which explores the concept of LOVE . Play the video until 1:05 and check what Hugo thinks about LOVE . Have the students mentioned the same idea ? Ask the students if Hugo can love his spade . After discussing their ideas , play the video until 1:21 and check the answer . Then play the video until 2:15 when Hugo asks the question “ Are there different kinds of LOVE ?” At this stage you can put the pupils in groups to ponder on the question . After discussing their answers , play the video to see what Hugo thinks and pause it at 3:45 . Now it is time to consider what love makes us feel . You can write the feelings your students come up with on the board and then play the video till the end . Finally Hugo wonders if LOVE can make us feel sad . What do your students think about it ? Ask them to give you some examples . Step 3 Create a Word Search Students use the vocabulary about feelings from the previous exercise to create a Word Search . They can do this online using http :// puzzlemaker . discoveryeducation . com / WordSearchSetupForm . asp or on a piece of paper . It ’ s a great way to practise spelling .
