Students work in groups of 2-3 people choosing appropriate
words to fit into each blank of the paragraph. The groups
do an illustration of their paragraph. The teacher requests
that each listener checks the inserted words to be sure
they are appropriate for the context. Each group reads their
paragraph and explains their illustration. The teacher asks
the class to tell the job/function of adjectives in sentences.
The teacher discusses the difference between general and
specific adjectives, and gives each group time to change
some of their choices to be more specific and interesting.
The entire group then discusses any changes made and their
reasons for doing so.
Additional information:
All parts of speech can be reviewed using the CLOZE format
as an easy study reference for each one. Writing exercises
could follow where students would create their own "scary,"
"scientific," "historic," etc. paragraph.
