Resource Objective & Content

The objective is to reinforce and broaden the knowledge of a second set of high-frequency adjectives by identifying their synonyms, enabling students to produce richer and more varied discourse.

The document is a synonym matching exercise focused on general adjectives ("General Adjectives - 2"). Students must connect eight pairs of words with similar meanings. The vocabulary includes fundamental pairs such as modern/new, old/ancient, powerful/strong, common/usual, certain/sure, famous/popular, intelligent/smart and stupid/silly. This activity allows students to better understand the nuances between words they already know and to acquire new alternatives for their written and oral productions.

Suggested Procedure

Before the activity (~5 min): WORDS AND CONCEPTS

Write concepts on the board (e.g., "a castle", "a smartphone", "a famous singer") and ask students to provide adjectives to describe them. This helps activate relevant vocabulary.

During the activity (~5-10 min): MAKING THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS

Distribute the sheet. Students, individually or in pairs, connect the synonym pairs.
Lead a collective correction. Take the opportunity to discuss nuances of meaning (e.g., ancient is much stronger than old; silly is often less pejorative than stupid).

After the activity (~10 min): IMPROVED DESCRIPTION

Ask students to choose a famous person or a place they like. They should write 2-3 sentences to describe it using at least two pairs of synonyms from the sheet (e.g., "The Eiffel Tower is very old, it's an ancient monument. It is very famous and popular with tourists.").

Adaptations

To simplify: Complete the first two or three pairs as a large group. Provide fill-in-the-blank sentences to help students deduce the meaning of the words.
To deepen: Challenge students to find the antonym (the opposite) of each pair of adjectives. They can also use the words to compare two objects (e.g., "Compare an old car and a modern car.").
