Topic: Teenagers and disability

Divide the class into an even number of groups. Tell half of the groups that they have to come up with positive adjectives to describe character; the other groups have to come up with negative adjectives to describe character. Give them 10 minutes to come up with their adjectives.
Step 2
Pair students so that there is one member of the group who came up with the positive adjectives and a member of the group who came up with the negative adjectives in each pair. Their task is to compare their adjectives and to try to match the positive adjectives with a negative adjective. If they have not got the opposite of an adjective, they should try to supply it.
Step 3
Get feedback from the whole class, and write up the most common positive and negative adjectives.
Step 4
In their pairs ask your students to discuss the following question:

What adjectives are normally used to describe teenagers?

Encourage students to use both positive and negative adjectives.
Step 5
Hold a plenary discussion on the question.
Step 6
Tell your students they are going to watch a short film in which they see a teenage boy. As they watch they should think of adjectives to describe the boy and his behaviour.

Show the film until 02:41.
