1) Practice asking questions. Each student puts down the name of a well-known noun, person or place. Put the suggestions in a hat. Students take turns pulling names out of the hat and guessing who or where the place is.
2) Have students brainstorm all adjectives they can in 2 minutes. Write them on the board or separate the students into two groups and have them compete against one another.
3) Write an assay about someone you admire (can be yourself) using five of the adjectives listed above. For each adjective, site an example.0
