Description

In this lesson, Ss will learn about superlative adjectives through Guided Discovery based on a listening passage about films from the previous lesson. The lesson starts with asking Ss to highlight the TL from the listening transcript from the previous lesson. Next, clarification will be provided through some activities for the Ss to discover the TL themselves. This is followed with some controlled and freer practice.

(5 minutes) T then elicits the answers in WCFB and checks and corrects and mistakes or errors. - For PRON, please see LA. (4-5 minutes)

(alone) - How much time do we have? (2 minutes) - T monitors during the activity. - Ss check in with a new partner. - Ss check the AK on the back of the HO

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

- T chests part one of HO5 and says: 'Write eight of these things on a piece of paper. Write one or two words, not complete sentences' (3 minutes) T hands the HO and a sheet of paper to each student. ICQs: - Are we going to write full sentences? (no) - Are we righting on the HO or the empty paper? (the empty paper) - T chests part two of the HO and says: 'Can you please stand up? work with a new partner. Swap papers. Take turns to ask questions about your partner’s words. Ask more questions' (5-7 minutes) ICQs: - Are we going to swap papers? (yes) - Are we going to ask questions about the things in the papers? (yes) T monitors and helps when needed.

Feedback (2-3 minutes) • To provide feedback on use of target language - dealing with errors and problems
