Lesson Overview

Is your glass half full or half empty? In this lesson, students will explore how to use adjectives to describe people and things. They'll also learn and practice opposite adjectives, building vocabulary around this theme. The lesson is packed with engaging discussions and activities, along with worksheets designed for both adult and teenage learners.

Lesson Objectives



  • Grammar: Students will learn how to use adjectives and the words "too" and "not too" to describe things. They will practice using "too" to show that something is excessive and "not too" to make descriptions softer.




  • Speaking: Students will join discussions and activities where they use adjectives and their opposites, along with "too" and "not too," to describe people, things, and situations. This will help them speak more fluently and confidently in English.




  • Vocabulary: The lesson will cover a variety of adjectives and their opposites, like "noisy/quiet," "expensive/cheap," "difficult/easy," "clean/dirty," and "talkative/quiet." Students will also learn to use "too" and "not too" correctly to modify these adjectives, expanding their vocabulary and making their descriptions more precise.




  • Homework: Homework will include tasks to practice using the right adjectives, correcting sentences with incorrect adjectives, choosing the right adjectives for sentences, and using "too" and "not too" correctly. These tasks will help students understand adjectives, opposites, and levels of quality, improving their writing and speaking skills in English.
