Synonyms 2 (A + B) - May 05, 2024
Paid LessonLesson Collection #4 - Lesson 4d
This lesson is a fun way for students to increase their vocabulary - in this case, adjective opposites.
Can your students think of three (or more) synonyms for the word sad or happy or strong?
Here are a few synonyms for sad:
morose
sorrowful
gloomy
pensive
disheartened
In pairs or groups, students assist each other to find three synonyms for common English adjectives. Along the way, they'll be adding new words to their vocabulary and working with spelling as well.
As a competitive lesson, 'Synonyms 2' is a lot of fun.
There are eight additional Synonyms lessons. They are:
Synonyms 1 (A + B) (See Lesson 04a above)
Synonyms 1A - Continued (See Lesson 04b above)
Synonyms 1B - Continued (See Lesson 04c above)
Synonyms 2A - Continued (See Lesson 04e below)
Synonyms 2B - Continued (See Lesson 04f below)
Synonyms 3 (A + B) (See Lesson 4g below)
Synonyms 3A - Continued (See Lesson 4h below) -and-
Synonyms 3B - Continued (See Lesson 04i below).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time

Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing

Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing

Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students

We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Hi Kurt!,
What a wonderful site you’ve got there, thanks for all the great ideas. I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons.
We EFL teachers need more sites like these.
I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored. For them, English should be entertainment and while most textbooks are short on that, your lessons are not.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Regards,
Elizabeth Longo Seong Am Girls’ Information Industrial High School
Hi Kurt,
That’s one of the greatest ESL sites on the web (the best one when it comes to activities).
