More with Adjectives!

Another activity to do with "travel" adjectives:

After having the students do the exercise of describing their assigned countries with their bags of adjective words, have them upgrade the activity. Ask the students to brainstorm a little about their given country. Ask them to think of famous landmarks or activities found in their assigned country (i.e. China: Great Wall, pandas, eating with chopsticks, etc.). After brainstorming, ask students to write a letter to a friend. The letter should be written as though the students are visiting their assigned country and writing about it to a friend. They should use 3 or so of their adjectives and write about some of the things they are "doing." After they write and edit their letter, have them design a postcard. They can draw pictures of their assigned country and then transfer their letter onto the postcard. Ukrainians really enjoy this activity.
