Tier-2 Set 6 Part 3 — Fascinated, Frustrated, Satisfied

Body-feeling check-in: teacher reads 5 scenarios; children show a face that matches each Tier-2 feeling word (insisted face, complained face, persuaded face, delighted face, disappointed face).

• Affirm precise faces
• Bridge to today's 3 new words

Three more Tier-2 words today. FASCINATED means very interested, can't look away — 'I was fascinated by the spider's web.' FRUSTRATED means blocked from what you want, kind of mad-stuck — 'I was frustrated when the marker dried out.' SATISFIED means content, like you got what you needed — 'I was satisfied after the warm lunch.' Now near-meanings: FRUSTRATED vs. DISAPPOINTED. Frustrated = something is BLOCKING me. Disappointed = something DIDN'T TURN OUT as I hoped. SATISFIED vs. DELIGHTED. Satisfied = enough, content. Delighted = sparkly happy. Pick the one that fits your feeling.

• Notice these are close — the block-vs.-let-down distinction is the test.

  model FRUSTRATED. The marker is BLOCKING me from drawing. Disappointed would fit if I had hoped the marker would write and it didn't — but the marker DRIED OUT means there's a block.

  prompt Choose: When the marker dried out, I was ___ (frustrated / disappointed).
• Tier-2 words let you SHADE your meaning.

  model Either could fit. SATISFIED is calmer, content. DELIGHTED is sparkly. Pick by your real feeling that day.

  prompt Choose: After my warm lunch, I was ___ (satisfied / delighted).

• Use FASCINATED in a sentence about something at school.
• Use FRUSTRATED in a sentence about a marker, a friend, or a math problem.
