Activity type: Categories
Level: High-Beginning / LowIntermediate
Materials Preparation:
1. Make one copy of the Students Page
for each student.
2. Be sure each student has a pen or
pencil.
Procedure
1. As a warm-up, ask students what
they know about tornadoes and how to
stay safe during a tornado. Encourage
the use of superlatives by asking
questions such as Whats the most
dangerous thing about tornadoes?
Whats the scariest part?
2. Pass out one Students Page to each
student, then put the students in pairs or
small groups. Ask each student to
choose the role of either Reader or
Writer. (There must be one Reader and
at least one Writer per pair or group.)
3. Tell students to fold the paper in half
so they see only their part. Allow a few
minutes for Readers to read the
paragraph silently and for Writers to look
over the words in the word box.

Follow-up
Ask each pair (or group) of students to
use some superlative forms in the chart
to write sentences about a topic of their
choice. For example, Riding a bike is
the most dangerous way to get to
school. However, it may be the best way
to save money. Ask volunteers to share
their sentences with the class.
