Personality: Good points
Unit 10.8 Supplement 1: Personality Traits
Instructions
The adjective list on the next page should be copied and handed out in advance of the lesson in which personality traits will be discussed in class. The list includes all adjectives that are exploited by New Interchange 2 Unit 10 plus many more.
Students can be assigned to check their dictionaries for the meaning and pronunciation of these words.
At the beginning of the next lesson, Unit 10.7(A) can be used as an in-class review quiz to see if they really checked the meaning of the words, as assigned. (But skip the “Do you know any people…?” part.)
Unit 10.7(B) is a short listening activity which could also be done at this time.
Next, call attention to the adjective list assigned from homework. Go through all words with choral repetition. Ask for questions. You may be asked to explain differences between two fairly close words, as there is certainly some semantic overlap. Some students may wonder why “naïve” is a negative, since the katakana term is considered positive in Japanese.
You may want to briefly explain the three neutral adjectives, or give examples of how their meaning can change with context. One may hope for serious employees in one’s company, but few people yearn for a serious spouse. Parents hope for obedient children, yet no one really likes to see oneself as obedient. Etc.
Hand out the “Who Is It?” game paper. Groups of four or five are best for this activity. Go over the rules. You will probably want to demonstrate by choosing a name yourself and eliciting guesses or questions. (Michael Jackson is a good place to start. Everyone knows him; everything from the negative list except “lazy” and “boring” might apply.) When follow-up questions are needed to get the answer, students should be encouraged to use personality vocabulary but can also ask about nationality, appearance, etc.
Call attention to the note at the bottom: Students need not limit themselves to the names on the list, but can use other famous people as well.
