Exposure (7-9 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading about Roberst Family ex.7

-T shows the photo to Ss and tell them they are going to read about a different family (Robert' Family) -T gives HO-1 and asks Ss to do ex.7 in 5 minutes -Ss are doing exercise individually -Use ICQ for the task: will you do alone or together? how many minutes do you have? -T asks Ss to check their answers with other Ss when they finish -T elicit the answer using CCQ (form, meaning and pronunciation) with WC -T asks "who is the easier to live with?" and "why?"

Useful Language (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify comperatives and character adjectives by writing 6 sentence about themselves and their friend

-T asks Ss to compare themselves with their friends or siblings by using of "a lot, much, a bit, (not) as...as", and the adjectives from ex.1 and the adjectives from ex.1 (HO-2) -T demonstrates the first example "Olivia's a bit taller than me" and "I am not organized as she is" -T gives Ss 6 minutes to do the exercise on their own -T use ICQ for the task: "will you compare yourself with your friend? will you work alone? -T monitors Ss' senteces for accuracy and help with any problems and take notes for delayed error correction. -T asks Ss : (Now work in pairs and tell your sentences to each other ) -T gives 4 minutes Ss to work in pairs and tell each other their sentences -T elicit the answer by asking : "Who is the easier to live with?" "who has interesting friend?"

(possible answer: "yes" ) -T gives Ss 10 minutes to write the sentences -T monitor for delayed error correction and help with any problems -T set the Ss in pairs and asks to tell each other about the differences now and then, using the sentences they planned in 9b -T monitor and take notes for error correction -T asks Ss to share interesting answers with the class *For an alternative activity and depending on the level of Ss, T may set Ss into two groups and ask to write as much as the sentences on the board in 5 minutes. Then T will give a price (chocolate) to winner group.
