Description

In this lesson, students will learn the different meanings of modifier “quite”. I begin my lesson relating to the text. They are supposed to find and underline all the examples of “quite” in the text. I will elicit from students what kind of words come after quite (adjective, adverb or a noun). When we are done, I will project a picture on WB which includes the different meanings of “quite” and distribute some example sentences. I will check if they know how to use this modifier. They need to match the sentences with their meanings. After that, I give a short explanation by using intonation. I will ask them some easy questions to check if they understand or not. This will be followed by a few exercises and finally, they will work in pairs and do a speaking activity.

Meaning After matching activity, I will project some short dialogues on the board. I will read the sentences aloud by paying attention to my intonations and elicit from the students the different meanings of the modifier"quite" After each dialogue, I will ask students some concept check questions."Does it mean completely or a little bit?" , "Does it mean a large amount or a little amount?" Form I will write some sentences on the board to teach student the use of the modifier"quite" I quite agree with you. This sentence is quite easy to understand. He spent quite a lot of Money. We always use it before adjectives, adverbs, verbs and quantifiers. Pronunciatiion As I assumed, students may get confused about the pronunciatiion of two words "quite" and "quiet".
