Procedure (33-50 minutes)
Show the students a bag containing many items such as toothpaste, rice, soap, ... Ask the students about each item: Is this countable or uncountable ? If it is uncountable, ask students: How can we make it countable ?
Students listen to a recording and fill in the gaps. After that, they check in pairs. Stick answer keys on the wall so that students stand up and correct their mistakes. Students do the analysis task in pairs. Provide the answer key on the board. Ask CCQs and drill some words if necessary. Examples: Several: Is it a big or small number ? Is it more than two ? How do we pronounce it ? A bit of: Is it a big part or a small part ?
Students work in pairs and decide which quantifier best completes the sentences about the British Council.
Students work in small groups to discuss about the place they live in using appropriate quantifiers.
Students read the sentences priviously written on the white board and decide if they are correct; if they aren't, they need to say why and correct them.
