Superhero Powers

Submitted by: Raegina Taylor     Borrowed or inspired from: The folder, although it is also similar to something off www.mes-english.com     Date added: 03-06-08     Edited by: Nobody


Brief Outline:  Students write a description of a superhero and then try to draw their friend’s superhero.

 

Materials Needed

  • SuperheroPowers worksheet - one per student
  • Dictionaries

 

Detailed Explanation:

  1. Hand out the worksheets.
  2. Give students a time limit of 10minutes to write their sentences individually.
  3. After the time is up, students make pairs.
  4. Students janken to decide who explains first. The first student says their sentences slowly, and their friend draws a picture of the superhero. Students then swap roles.

 

Variations:

  • This could be done as an individual or group project, with students writing and drawing their superhero.
  • You may want to explain some common super powers, although encourage imagination in the students. You could also do up a mock superhero of a character the students know well to make the activity more clear.
