Subsidiary Aims

Procedure (45-59 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • Review what they've learnt in the previous lesson and engage students

Elicit a few sentences about relationships between people in the family tree. (p.16) - Who is Tom? - How many children have Tom and Lisa got? - Who is Max? - How many grandchildren have Bill and Pat got? - How many granddaughters have Bill and Pat got? Remind the Ss how many is always plural. Ask them what is common with the words after how many?

Exposure (4-5 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text

Get the Ss correct the sentences on ex. 5. The Ss need to check the reading text if they don't remember the answers. Peer check. Feedback

Highlighting (5-8 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Focus one of the sentences from ex. 5: Sally is Anna's daughter. Write the sentence on the board. Highlight 's. Ask the Ss what does 's mean? Is it is? Or is it has? Elicit answers. Write the sentences on the board: Sally is Anna is daughter. Sally is Anna has daughter. Do these sentences look correct? No. Who is Sally's mother? Anna Then tell the Ss 's is a possessive. Give two examples with is and has. 1. Sally is a student. Sally's a student. 2. Sally has got a daughter. Sally's got a daughter.

Clarification (5-6 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Sally is Anna's daughter. Meaning: In this sentence, 's is used to express Sally belongs to Anna. Sally is her (Anna's) daughter. Anna is Sally's mother. CCQ Who is Anna? Sally's mother. Has Anna got a daughter? Yes. What's Anna's daughter's name? Sally. Form: noun + 's Anna's This structure is referred to as possessive. 's is a determiner here. 's come after a noun to show smt is belong to the noun in the sentence. After a plural noun (ends with s) we don't put s. Ex. Classrooms' doors. Pronunciation: Sally is Anna's daughter. Sentence stressed is placed on Anna's. References: Cambridge Dictionary
