Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.
How are you doing?
This week, we continued exploring Unit 2: Psychology in Q Skills, focusing on how colors affect our feelings and behavior.
In ELST, we talked about becoming independent after high school. In Q Skills, we practiced finding evidence in a reading, organizing information about colors, and using that information to write sentences.
We also introduced an important Global Skill: emotional self-regulation, particularly how to respect other people's feelings even when their opinions or preferences are different from ours.
See you next week!

<Lesson Review>
ELST Speaking B1.1 #5
We listened to the conversation, answered questions, and practiced it through pair role-play.
Our discussion question was:
Do you want to leave the nest when you graduate from high school?
Leave the nest is an expression meaning to leave your family home and begin living independently.
When discussing personal choices, try to explain not only what you want to do, but also why you feel that way.
Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing 2
Unit 2: Psychology
Reading 1: What Colors Do You Like to Wear?
We continued exploring the Unit Question:
How do colors affect our behavior?
B. CATEGORIZE — True or False
We listened to the article and decided whether each statement was true or false. For false statements, we corrected the information and identified the paragraph containing the evidence.
The important skill here is reading for evidence. Don't rely only on what you remember or assume. Find the exact information that supports your answer.
C. IDENTIFY — Colors and Their Meanings
We identified what different colors represent according to the article and shared our answers in the Chat Room.
We also listened to and read the article paragraph by paragraph to check our understanding.
Remember that color associations can be influenced by culture and personal experience. The goal is to understand what the article says, rather than assuming that everyone responds to colors in the same way.
D. COMPOSE — Writing Sentences
We used information from the article to construct sentences.
This activity helped us move from identifying information to expressing it accurately in our own English.
Global Skills — Emotional Self-Regulation
Respect Others' Feelings
People may have different feelings about the same color, situation, or experience.
Emotional self-regulation means recognizing and managing our own emotional reactions. It also helps us respond thoughtfully when someone expresses a different opinion.
Respecting others' feelings does not mean we must agree with everything they say. It means listening carefully and acknowledging their perspectives before responding.
