Vocabulary Building GCSE EAL Creative Writing Worksheets 2
These worksheets were created for Year 10 EAL students who needed help to build vocabulary for the GCSE exams. They would be helpful to any students wishing to expand their vocabulary or to write more concisely.
The set includes tasks based on 12 adjectives that can be used instead of phrases using very.
Worksheet 1 is a word matching table that works well as a group activity / think, pair, share / carousal activity.
Worksheet 2 is a picture match activity. I usually do this as a recap / starter in a later lesson, to see what students remember from the word matching table task.
Worksheet 3 is a cloze activity / gap fill activity where students add the words to paragraphs or sentences that show what the word mean.

3 x Worksheets to build vocabulary. Students match a phrase including ‘very’ to a more precise word. The three sheets cover different words so all three can be used during different lessons.
Extension tasks included - students add the words to sentences or write their own.
There is also a selection of Power Point slides with the tasks on if you’d prefer students follow the task from the board rather than printing handouts. I’ve found that students find the handouts handy to keep as a glossary they can refer back to.
Ideal as a starter task.
Created for my GCSE students who struggle with using precise vocabulary but would also work for KS3 or adult learners.
