Do I suffer from any PHOBIAS? I'm afraid of mice and insects creeping on me suddenly. I don't appreciate being in particularly high places, although I do live on the 10th floor. Obviously a PHOBIA stands for a tremendously overwhelming fear, so I believe I'm excluded from the club. However I do enjoy talking about PHOBIAS with the students. It's a good way to learn something personal about them and it's a nice opportunity to practice adverbials of reason. Check the lesson plan below on PHOBIAS. I hope it'll come in handy when you decide to explore the subject with your classes.
