1. Warm-up Activity: Express with Emojis
- Show different emojis 😃😐😴 and ask students to guess which represents interesting and which represents boring.
- Ask: "When do you feel like this?" (Encourage personal experiences)
2. Introducing Synonyms
Instead of always saying "interesting" or "boring," introduce simple alternatives:
Interesting 😃
- Exciting
- Engaging
- Captivating
- Fascinating
- Entertaining
Boring 😴
- Dull
- Tedious
- Monotonous
- Unexciting
- Lifeless
Interactive Task:
Give students situations and ask: "Is it interesting or boring?"
Example:
- Watching a magic show (Students respond: "It's fascinating!")
- Reading a dictionary for hours (Students respond: "It's tedious!")
3. Role-Play & Real-life Scenarios
Scenario 1: A student watches a movie and tells a friend about it.
- A: "How was the movie?"
- B: "It was really captivating! The story kept me engaged till the end."
Scenario 2: A student talks about a long speech.
- A: "Did you enjoy the lecture?"
- B: "Not really, it was quite monotonous."
Task:
Let students create their own dialogues using new words.
4. Group Discussion – Opinion Sharing
Divide students into small groups. Give them topics (sports, music, books). Each member must express their opinion using interesting/boring words.
Example:
Topic: Football
- "Football is exciting because the game changes quickly!"
- "I find football dull. I prefer chess."
Encourage polite disagreements:
- "I respect your opinion, but I think it's really engaging!"
5. Fun Game – Word Swap
Write "Interesting" and "Boring" words on cards. One student reads a sentence with "interesting" or "boring," and another swaps the word with a synonym.
Example:
- Sentence: "The book was very boring."
- Student: "The book was really dull."
6. Reflection & Application
- Ask students to write about a recent event and describe if it was interesting or boring using new words.
- Pair up students to share their descriptions and give feedback.
