Adjectives and Opposites

Seven Activities Available:

Two Highly Structured Training Activities
The Train Vocabulary and Train Opposites activities use a two-picture format to provide direct instruction on each of the 38 nouns and 26 pairs of opposites.

Three levels of training are available. At the lowest level, the learner is given instruction, cueing, and feedback. As you progress, the computer drops cuing and then instruction.
You can set the program to train all of the words or select specific items to be targeted. These activities can be used to ensure that a student knows all the items before being asked to identify them in full-screen scenes.


Three Exploratory Learning Activities
The Explore Vocabulary, Explore Adjectives, and Explore Opposites activities provide learners with opportunities for open-ended exploration of the six full-screen scenes.

You have the option of displaying only the items in the main ring (14-20 items per scene) or displaying the audience as well (10-20 additional items).

In Explore Vocabulary, you select an object and the computer says the name of the noun (e.g. "This is a lion.") In Explore Adjectives, the computer says the noun and its accompanying adjective (e.g. "This elephant is sad.") In Explore Opposites, the computer presents an item and its opposite (e.g. "This seal is heavy... and this seal is light.") In all three activities, objects animate when they are selected.


Two Full-Screen Identification Activities
In Identify Adjectives and Identify Opposites activities, learners identify items within full-screen scenes. In Identify Adjectives, the computer asks you to identify an item based on its adjective. (e.g. "Find the wet clown.") In the Identify Opposites activity, you find pairs of opposites (e.g. "Which car is clean?" and "Which car is dirty?")

If you answer correctly, the object animates. You can set the program to ask you all of the items within a scene or select specific items to be targeted.
