A ready-to-teach B1 grammar lesson on -ed and -ing adjectives, built around the surprising science of boredom.

Students say how they'd feel in real-life situations, read a short article on the science of boredom, and discover the rule: -ed for the feeling, -ing for the cause. They race in teams, interview each other on a "Boring or brilliant?" radio show and survey the class.
