Overview:

An activity where students generate lists of evaluative language to express judgments about various images. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the concept of evaluative language and its role in expressing opinions.
Generate and use appropriate evaluative words to assess different subjects (e.g., objects, events).
Strengthen writing and speaking skills by incorporating evaluative language in context.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a set of images (e.g., a cupcake, phone, bike, and rain). For each image, they must create a list of evaluative words that could be used to express a judgment. These might include words such as "delicious" for a cupcake, "innovative" for a phone, "sturdy" for a bike, or "refreshing" for rain. This activity encourages students to think critically about how to assess and describe different items or experiences with a range of positive or negative language.
