Mental Illness
This C1-C2 video based worksheet looks at the subject of mental illness, and some of the vocabulary around it. The worksheet starts with a general discussion on the subject and then moves on to an exercise in which students must brainstorm the mental illnesses and symptoms of mental illness they can name. This worksheet may be used with B2 learners, but the video section may be too challenging.
Next, students must complete a matching exercise containing advanced vocabulary for emotional states (eg. “agitated” or “perplexed”) which are all used in the following exercise.
The students will then read through a list of short snippets about people suffering from mental illnesses and match the mental illness to the behavior described.
The third page of the worksheet asks the students to watch a video called “What is Bi-Polar Disorder?” and answer some comprehension questions about it.
The lesson ends with a homework task which asks the students to watch one of seven videos about various mental illnesses, and make a short presentation to the class in the next lesson about what they leaned.
This worksheet will be perfect for any advanced class that likes to discuss interesting subjects, but will be particularly useful for any class involved in psychology or the mental health field.
