Students first revise and categorise extreme adjectives, then watch selected scenes to infer emotions, attitudes, and reactions, justifying their answers with evidence from the dialogue. A guided noticing task then helps students discover the gradability rule (why we say absolutely terrified, not very terrified) before applying it in personalised speaking and writing tasks.

The activities are carefully scaffolded, making this lesson suitable for both confident B2 learners and supported B1 students (captions recommended for B1).

• Student worksheet (PDF and editable Word versions)
• Answer key with teacher notes
• Pre-watching, while-watching, and post-watching activities, including a grammar discovery task
