What Are They Doing?

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a language activity designed for students to practice reading comprehension and vocabulary skills by observing pictures and making logical inferences. Each number corresponds to a picture of an animal, alongside two word choices that describe potential actions or characteristics of that animal. The students are instructed to circle the word that correctly describes what the animal is doing or how it appears in the picture. For example, they need to decide between “walking” or “swimming” for the duck and “sleeping” or “flying” for the bat.

The worksheet is trying to teach students to use contextual clues from images to determine the appropriate vocabulary word that accurately describes the image. It encourages critical thinking as students must evaluate each pair of words and decide which word is supported by the visual evidence. This exercise also helps to expand the students’ vocabulary by providing them with different pairs of words that they may not be familiar with. Moreover, the activity promotes the development of observational skills and the ability to associate specific words with corresponding actions or attributes.
