Adjectives+Noun Phrase

You should give some examples of adjectives+noun phrases.

The folowing is the example: a big dog, an expensive car, a brilliant student, a dirty skirt, etc.

You may contribute some more examples and then ask your female students to write the adjectives in column A, while your male students should write the nouns in column B, so it will be like this: 

A red                                                 student
A stupid                                             worker
A beautiful                                          car
A simple                                             lady
An expensive                                      house
An easy                                              problem

Then they volunteer ideas for different combinations, for example: a stupid lady you draw a line to join the two words. See how many adjectives + nouns phrases they can make.

If someone make unusual combinations, they have to justify it. Can you justify  a red worker or a stupid car?
Column A                                               Column B

Note
After they give some examples in writing, give the students sometime to practice orally. You say: " Expensive house" one of your students might say: " My mother bought an expensive house a year ago".
