The teacher prepares a list of words. Each student gets one word, which is prepared especially for him or her. The trick is that each student gets a word whose initial letter is the same as the initial of the student’s first name, e.g. Linda gets listless. Each student must look it up in the dictionary during the class and after a few minutes report to the class. E.g. “My name is Linda and I’m listless. That means that I am ... (definition)...”. For homework students can do the same using their surname.
