T. shows a poster on the screen about book choice, and asks: "How do you choose a book to read?" Ss work in pairs and answer the question T and Ss discuss their answers.
T. divides Ss into groups, each group has a copy of a text with missing words Each group has strips of words with adjectives (without the -ed or -ing endings) on a table in front of them. Each time one member of the group comes to the table and takes one strip of paper and with the group put it in the right space to complete a sentence in the text. They keep doing this until thye fill in all the gaps. First group who finishes first is the winner. T. asks Ss if they need to change anything in the form of the words or add something. Ss leave their text to use it later.
T. asks Ss to listen to people talking about how they choose a book. Ss listen to the people's replies T and Ss discuss how other people choose a book to buy. T. shows on the screen some sentences from the text they have heard. Ss have the same sentences on a handout with questions (CCQs) to answer the CCQs: 1- Do the sentences talk about persons and things? 2- In sentences [a, b], do they talk about a person or a thing? 3- In sentences [c, d, e], what do they describe? 4- Sentence [a, b], do they describe how the person feels? 5- What words are used to describe the feeling of the person? 6- What is the ending of the underlined words? 7- What part of speech are the underlines words? Are they verbs, nouns, or adjectives? 8- What does the word with (ed) ending describe? 9- What does the word with (ing) ending describe? Ss works first alone to answer the questions. Then they work in pairs to compare answers After they finish, teacher and students discuss the answers. Ss have to complete the rule of the TL (adjectives with -ed and -ing endings) in the HO by circling the correct word in bold T. writes another sentence on the WB and asks questions to check students' understanding of the meaning and form of the TL: (The film I watched yesterday was boring.) what does the sentence talk about? Did the speaker enjoy the film? what word he used to describe the film? complete: The film I watched was boring, and so I was............

T. asks Ss to go back to the first worksheet they have completed at the beginning of the lesson and in groups check their answers and make any changes to make the TL correct. T. shows Ss the text on the screen to compare answers
