This is a lesson designed to help learners understand and remember opposite adjectives. Many of the techniques used here could be used for teaching other words or adjectives too. The lesson aims to introduce simple adjectives for describing people and things, to match the written and spoken form of simple adjectives and to help the learners remember the words using mime and drawing.

Designed to fit in with Left Handers Day on 13 August, but usable at any time of the year, this lesson explores what it is like to be left-handed - the advantages, the disadvantages and the prejudices left-handers may face. The lesson begins with an optional video and then leads into a reading text in the style of an online article at C1 level. Students then carry out two exam-style tasks: matching summaries to paragraphs and identifying if statements about the text are true or false.
