Objective & Principle of the Activity
The objective is to lead students to **expand and nuance their vocabulary** for describing transport and travel, by identifying and using synonyms of adjectives specific to this theme.
The activity consists of a **synonym matching exercise**. Students must connect pairs of adjectives with close meanings. The vocabulary covers notions of **speed**, **density**, **type of service**, and **comfort**. This targeted activity gives students the necessary linguistic tools to compare transport options or recount travel experiences.
Suggested Lesson Flow
Before the Activity (~5 min): My Daily Commute
Ask students to describe their commute to school. List the adjectives they propose on the board to activate their existing vocabulary.
During the Activity (~5-10 min): Making the Right Connections
Distribute the activity sheet. Students, alone or in pairs, connect the synonym pairs. Lead a group correction, having the words pronounced and asking for an example sentence for each pair to contextualize the vocabulary.
After the Activity (~10 min): Planning an Itinerary
Propose a concrete task, such as **comparing two transport options** for a given route. Students must justify their choice orally or in writing using at least four of the new adjectives learned during the activity.
Adaptations
-
To Simplify: Complete the first two matches as a whole class. Allow the use of a dictionary for unfamiliar words.
-
To Extend: Ask students to write an **online review** (positive or negative) of a transport company (real or imaginary) using a maximum of the studied adjectives.
