Unit 2 Developing writing skills - Timeline

Unit 2 Developing writing skills pg.14

Extension activity: give learners lists of synonyms for words in a short text. They rank order them for closeness to the original word and then again for strength of meaning according to their connotations, e.g. anger = fury, rage, wrath, annoyance, irritation. OR

Use Timeline where words can be placed along a continuum. Discuss with learners and then drag each synonym to its relative position on the line.

The timeline tool isn't quite developed sufficiently yet - but will be soon. This is ideal for testing.
