Objective & Principle of the Activity

The objective is to lead students to **expand their vocabulary** for describing various states of health, pain, or well-being, by identifying and acquiring **synonyms for common adjectives**.

The activity consists of a synonym matching exercise. Students must connect pairs of adjectives. The vocabulary covers notions of pain, sickness, fatigue, and well-being. This targeted activity is ideal for preparing students for concrete situations like a doctor's consultation or simply for talking about their general condition.

Suggested Lesson Flow

Before the Activity (~5 min): How Do You Feel?

Ask students how they feel in different situations (e.g., "when you have the flu," "after a sports session"). List the adjectives they propose on the board to activate their vocabulary.

During the Activity (~5-10 min): Lexical Diagnosis

Distribute the activity sheet. Students, individually or in pairs, connect the synonym pairs. Lead a group correction, emphasizing pronunciation. Ask for example sentences to contextualize the words and highlight the nuances in meaning between certain terms.

After the Activity (~10 min): At the Doctor's

Organize a role-play in pairs: one student is the patient, the other is the doctor. The patient must describe their symptoms using at least three of the new adjectives learned during the activity. The doctor must then ask questions and give advice.

Adaptations

To Simplify: Complete the first two or three pairs as a whole group to launch the activity effectively. Allow the use of a dictionary.
To Extend: Ask students to classify the adjectives by **intensity**. They can also look for the **antonym** (the opposite) of each pair.
