T. asks students to work in pairs and say what they can see in each picture. e.g ( a big tree) T. writes down the word "big " on the board and so on till she writes one adjective for each picture. T. asks students to repeat these words after her to practice pronunciation. T.asks students work in pairs to use these adjectives in any context. T. listens to some sentences randomly for WCF.
T. asks students to work in pairs and try to form a negative sentence to elicit the opposite of the adjectives on the board. e.g St. A. It's a big tree. No, it's small. T. drills pronunciation with students. T. distributes a handout about adjectives and their opposites and asks students to match each adjective with its opposite individually. T. asks students to do a pair check. WCF T. shows the powerpoint presentation again to refer to the opposite of those adjectives. T. asks a student to say a sentence with an adjective and another one with its opposites.
T. writes a sentence on the board, e.g Sara is my friend. She is friendly. T. asks some CCQs to check students' understanding of the meaning of friendly. e.g 1- Do friends help each other? Are they nice to each other? Do they hate each other? No, they don't hate each other. They are nice and friendly to each other. e.g 2- Do you like babies? Are babies cute and lovely? yes, they are beautiful. Is a witch lovely? Do you like to see a witch? is she scary? She is ugly. eg. 3- Can anyone buy a big house? No. Can anyone have a notebook? Yes.
