Materials

Main Aims

  • To provide clarification of Participle Clauses in the context of Imagined Ugly Syndrome

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (5-7 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T will distribute pieces of paper with sentences among Ss and have them find out their pair while matching sentences. Sentences represent Relative and Participle Clauses to let Ss discover the difference between them by themselves. Example: Find a person who feels insecure / I am a person feeling insecure. BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, T WILL ANNOUNCE THE TIME LIMIT - 5 minutes. When Ss complete the activity, T will ask 2-3 pairs to read aloud their sentences and T will write them down on WB, trying to elicit the grammar rule from Ss. In order to achieve that, T will: - mark the distinctive parts of clauses on WB; - use finger technique or count words; - use CCQ (is this Active or Passive Voice?)

Exposure (3-3 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

T will hand out the text and have Ss find out examples of the model sentences. The key will be given overleaf. Before starting the activity, TEACHER WILL TELL THE TIME LIMIT - maximum 3 mins. ICQ: - do you check the answers first? (no) - do you work in pairs? (yes) - how much time do you have? (3 mins) There are 6 examples in the text: 1. This syndrome causes people normally thought of as being extremely attractive to look in the mirror.... 2. People suffering from the syndrome become obsessed with these imaginary physical defects... 3. Geri Halliwell, formerly known as Ginger Spice, has spoken at length about the eating disorders and deep-rooted insecurities suffered by victims of BDD. 4. ...people living their normal lives. 5.

T will hand out a sheet with two sentences: People suffering from the syndrome become obsessed with these imaginary physical defects. Geri Holliwell, formerly known as Ginger Spice, has spoken at length about the eating disorders and deep-rooted insecurities suffered by victims of BDD. T will have Ss form Relative Clauses from these sentences. PW, TIME LIMIT - 1 minute. ICQ: - do you work in pairs? (yes) - how much time do you have? (1 minute) T will display the key on board on WB and ask Ss to count words in each sentence: 1. People suffering from the syndrome become obsessed with these imaginary physical defects. (12) People WHO SUFFER from the syndrome become obsessed with these imaginary physical defects. (13) 2. Geri Holliwell, formerly known as Ginger Spice, has spoken at length about the eating disorders. (15) Geri Holliwell, WHO WAS formerly known as Ginger Spice, has spoken at length about the eating disorders. (17) T will ask one of Ss to come and underline words which are being reduced and mark which sentence is in Active Voice and which one is in Passive.

Clarification (3-5 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

The sentences will be still displayed on WB. T will hand out a sheet with form analysis for affirmative and negative clauses and CCQ for Ss to answer. Ss will work in pairs. The answer key will be given overleaf. T WILL ANNOUNCE THE TIME LIMIT - maximum 3 minutes. ICQ: - do you work in pairs? (yes) - do you check the answers first? (no) - how much time do you have? (3 mins) HO: (+) Noun (subject/object) + Participle Clause (-ing/-ed) (-) Noun (subject/object) + not + Participle Clause (-ing/-ed) With adverb: Noun (subject/object) + adverb + Participle Clause (-ing/-ed) CCQ: - do we give more detailed description? (yes) - in which sentence can we omit the description? (No.2) Why? (because it is formed from a Non-defining relative clause? How do you know that?

(-ing) - how do we modify the verb in Past Participle Clauses? (-ed) Task: mark stresses and intonation in these sentences.
