Note that with this kind of activity, there is no “righ” answer necessarily. What is important is that learners are able to justify their choice, whatever their answer. It is the cognitive work that counts – not getting the right answer.
Here is another open-ended selection task, with a personalised element
1. Work in pairs. Choose five words to describe yourself. Use a dictionary if necessary. careful interesting clever cold confident fit funny imaginative intelligent kind lazy nervous optimistic patent pessimistic polite quiet calm rude sad sensitive nice serious tidy thoughtful Think of other words you can use. honest, friendly... Discuss your choice of words with your partner. I think I'm usually optimistic. And I'm always polite! Does he/she agree with you? |
2.Think of three people you admire very much. They can be politicians, musicians, sports personalities etc. or people you know personally. Choose the person you admire most and think of three adjectives to describe this person. Then choose the second and third person you admire and think of three more adjectives for each person to explain why. |
