Synonym Snap · the call list

同義詞快閃・題目表

Dom's race. Call a basic word; the first student to answer must give a synonym AND use it in a sentence. A synonym without a sentence scores nothing — that rule is what stops this becoming a memory test.
Dom 的競賽。老師喊一個基本字，最快搶答的學生要給同義詞「並且」造句。只給字不造句不算分——這條規則才能讓它不淪為背誦測驗。

big → ______
happy → ______
smart → ______
angry → ______
tired → ______
scary → ______
fast → ______
important → ______

The trap · one Chinese word, several English ones

陷阱・中文一個字，英文好幾個

「聰明」covers smart, clever and intelligent, so students assume the three are interchangeable. They are not — English fixes each one to certain partners. Test by collocation, not by meaning.
「聰明」一個字涵蓋 smart、clever、intelligent，所以學生以為三個可以互換。不行——英文把每個字綁在固定的搭配上。要用搭配去測，不是用意思去測。

✗ He is a glad person. ✓ He is a happy person. ✓ I'm glad you came.
✗ What an intelligent trick! ✓ What a clever trick!
Your turn — choose: I was very ______ (irritated / furious) by the small noise.
Your turn — choose: We are ______ (glad / delighted) to invite you to our ceremony.

Which one fits?

哪一個放得進去？

Read the sentence, students pick from the week's ten words and say why. 'It sounds better' does not count; the reason must be about strength or about who or what the word is describing.
唸句子，學生從本週十個字裡挑，並說出理由。「聽起來比較好」不算；理由必須是強度，或這個字在形容誰、形容什麼。

My little sister broke my model. I was ______ .
Someone stole my bicycle. I was ______ .
The principal was ______ with our SDG poster.
She found a ______ way to carry all the books at once.
We are ______ to announce the winner. (正式)

Exit ticket · same word, two feelings

出場券・同一組字，兩種感覺

This is Dom's homework in miniature: two sentences that show the difference, not two sentences that use the words.
這是 Dom 作業的縮小版：兩句話要讓差別現出來，不是只把字用進去。

I was irritated when ______ .
I was furious when ______ .

Prep · 備課 No preparation needed. Week 4 was about climbing to a stronger word. This week is the opposite lesson: synonyms are not spare parts. Each one has a place it belongs and places it does not.
不必備課。第 4 週學的是往上換一個更強的字，這週剛好相反：同義詞不是零件，不能隨便替換。每個字都有它待得住的地方，和待不住的地方。
