Lesson procedure
Organization moment.
The teacher greets the students: “Hello, how are you today?”, “What is the weather like today?”, “What’s the date today?”, “Who is on duty?”, “Who is absent?”
Revising and predicting.
The teacher writes the word “ANIMAL” on the board with the gaps-A_I_A_S. The students have to guess the word. “Yes you have guessed right! We are going to talk about animals today”. The teacher shows the cards, illustrating the animals. The students are to name them then the teacher writes them on the board.
Pair work.
The teacher hangs out the cards with the questions on them. The students have to ask each other in pairs.
“What is your favorite animal?
“What does it look like? What can it do?”
“Why do you like it?’’
“Can you find this animal in our country?’’
“Do you have a pet at home?” If yes what animal, how old is it? The teacher then asks a few students about their partner.
Explaining new material.
The teacher asks the students what adjectives they know. Then writes them on the board:
Big easy good dangerous hot cold
Small beautiful bad expensive
One student comes to the board and categorizes the adjectives into 2 groups:
Short adjectives (1 syllable) Long adjectives (2 syllables)
Big
Easy
Good
Hot
Cold
Small
Bad
Dangerous
Expensive
Beautiful
The teacher points out that they need to use ”Than” when using the adjectives.
The teacher explains that there are 4 types of the adjectives:
we put the suffix “ER” to the short adjectives and the word “MORE” to the long ones.
Small-smaller, big-bigger, expensive-more expensive
If the word ends in Y they should change Y into I and suffix “ER”
Easy-easier
There are irregular adjectives as well: good-better, bad –worse
The teacher writes on the board the following words. The students have to put the words in order to make sentences in their copy-books. Then the teacher asks different students to read their sentences.
Bigger lions are cats than. (Lions are bigger than cats)
Than dogs smaller elephants are. (Dogs are smaller than elephants)
More than tigers dangerous are cats. (Tigers are more dangerous than cats)
A heavier than a zebra is monkey. (A zebra is heavier than a monkey)
