Description

In this advanced lesson, the students will build precise vocabulary for describing people’s flaws and negative behavioral patterns. They will analyze the meaning of each word and take part in an activity that tests their understanding by identifying and explaining the antonyms of the given traits. Students will then reflect on personal experiences, tendencies, and past observations related to these flaws. By the end of the lesson, students should feel more confident discussing sensitive personality traits in a thoughtful, mature, and nuanced way.

Session Activities
