Adjective quest using catalogues

Provide learners with a range of catalogue.  Ask them to scan the text looking for adjectives.

Make a list of adjectives on the board.

Now ask learners what the primary purpose of the text might be - to inform or to describe.
The secondary purpose of a catalogue is to persuade. Discuss with learners how the adjectives that they have identified would help to persuade a would be buyer to select something from the catalogue.
