2. 2 Here is a short article (not a professional publication) we’ll be using for practice : MAPPING HUMAN EMOTIONS When you’re angry, your face, head, and arms get hot. When you’re depressed, a cold numbness grips your head and arms. Love triggers a warm glow throughout your upper body, especially around your heart. Human emotions, a new study has found, are directly linked to sensations in specific body parts, and the map is largely the same across different cultures. Finnish researchers reached that conclusion after showing 700 study participants in Finland, Sweden, and Taiwan words, videos, facial expressions, and stories designed to evoke 13 emotions, such as happiness, sadness, shame, disgust, envy, anxiety, and love. For each emotion, participants indicated where they felt increased and decreased sensation on computer-generated silhouettes of the human body. Individuals of different cultures and linguistic backgrounds drew very similar maps, indicating that emotions are hardwired to prepare the body for fighting, hugging, withdrawing, and other behaviors. “Our emotional system in the brain sends signals to the body so we can deal with our situation,” Aalto University psychologist Lauri Nummenmaa tells NPR.org. “It’s an automated system. We don’t have to think about it.” The information about how the body Don’t worry, we’ll take you step by step to show you how to

Prepare your presentation Remember your keywords and main idea map similar automated system human emotions behaviors feelings study brain diagnosing sensations body treating body parts situation emotional disorders different cultures Human emotions are directly linked to sensations in specific body parts, and the map is largely the same across different cultures. - Title: Mapping Human Emotions - Author: Unknown - Source (publication, issue, volume…): The Week, January 17, 2014 - Subject: The link between emotions and bodily sensations - Motivation: Understanding how body and feelings interact - Dimension (social, clinical, psychological, technical…): Psychological & clinical - Date: 2014 - Type (statistics, study, report, survey, interviews…): Study
16. Collect the information you need for the BODY of your presentation: I. The text - Main message - rephrase the main idea of the text - Supporting points - present the different essential parts of the text ‣ Examples & illustrations ‣ Information on the study & methodology ‣ Information about the results ‣ Concluding statements II. Connection with you - With your profession in general - find applications in your field 16
17. What is important here is NOT to repeat the text word for word, but put it in your own words!! You need to use SYNONYMS : > Find synonyms for: MAP EMOTION SENSATION BEHAVIOR CULTURE SPECIFIC 17 chart/cartogram/guide to chart/delineate/draw/depict/locate cartographic… feeling/sentiment/reaction/response… sense/awareness/perception/impression/impact/manifestation… attitude/conduct/actions/manners/ways/response/functioning… origins/society/civilization/lifestyle/country/background… precise/particular/specified/determined/distinct…

Researchers have recently discovered that emotions can be mapped according to their manifestations in different body parts, in a way that appears to be universal. To find a different way to express the same message (= paraphrase)
19. Prepare your CONCLUSION: - Summarize the text 19 ‣ Study ‣ Results ‣ Conclusion ‣ Questions ‣ Solutions ‣ Recommendations ‣ Limitations ‣ Future actions Prepare the QUESTIONS & ANSWERS session: - Imagine potential questions from your audience/readers. - Prepare answers.
20. You can use these instructions to create: - A written presentation Simply write down the different parts of your presentation: Introduction I. Presentation of the text II. Connexion with you Conclusion - An oral presentation Never read from a piece of paper: look at your listener and truly present the information in a clear and interesting way (see “10 tips” document). - A visual presentation Incorporate: Powerpoint presentation Pictures 20
21. TO RECAP 1. Find the key words of the text (SUBJECT + RESEARCH) 2. Focus on the organization of the text > Find conjunctions & transitions > Visualize the organization of the text 3. Find the main idea of the text 4. Prepare your presentation > Introduction 6 journalistic questions: Who?, What?, When?, Where?, Why?, How? > Body The text - Main message + Supporting points Connection with you - Profession in general + Personal experiences Use different sentence structures and synonyms 21
