adjectives ed and ing

Hi you there.
Good afternoon.
I would like you to share with me a good way to teach this topic "adjectives ed and ing" in a very innovative way. I want my students to have a great time in class.
Thanks beforehand |

"ed" indicates that the subject is completely passive and "ing" that the subject is active. Let �s take an example : This book is interestING : that is to say the book AWAKES the reader �s interest AND I �m interested in archeology : that is to say "Archeology is like a magnet and appeals me. I can �t help !" So this book about archeology is interesting (because it is well written and full of details of course) and as I am interested in archeology I will dive into the book. This book has hypnotized me and I has obeyed it reading it. Do you like this explanation ? |

Well, what about the ed-ing (for eNding) hunt ? Give some roots : "enchant" "learn" "teach" "sing" "bewitch"... Make the students find the -ing form and the -ed form, or irregular past participle. Make one student write them on the blackboard. After a dozen "root - root-ing - root-ed or irregular past participle" try to make the student speak sentences with each separate root-ed, then root-ing. Then ask the others what they have understood. Then make the students invent sentences with both -ed and -ing type : This enchanting scenery lets all the tourists enchanted and makes them soon coming back. Then you can ask : "who is the enchanter ?" "who is under the power of the enchantment ?" May it help ?

You could talk about movies or books and as a warm up, ask what kind of films/books they are: interesting, frightening, moving, exciting.For example Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings are very interesting films. Then, how they felt about them (e.g. excited, moved, thrilled, frightened, scared, interested).

I made it simple for my kids - when I taught this, they were false beginners, so I used totally simple language to explain and they got it immediately:
ed describes a feeling
ing describes quality (characterizes the person or thing)
Check my WSS, I have one on this topic and it was a success. Here it is:
