Ss will be asked about the difference between the 2 colums - Once Ss acknowledge that the columns are different introduce Compound nouns *Explain that a compound noun is a nouns made up of 2 or more words (not necessarily nouns)
Have Ss complete Ex. 3 on pg. 64 (now on printout) BEFORE handing out task, explain to students that the groups on the left side of the page have to be matched up with a word on the right side of the page by drawing a line Hand out sheets to each student and have the work on them individually. THEN, pair them up just for a minute or so to give a quick look at each other answers then go over as a class.
*Elicit names of compound nouns using words from previous exercise to clarify any doubts the Ss may have. *Once Ss give answer drill Ss on the correct pronunciation alternating between different Ss, 2s, 3, ect... *Write the noun on the board and have Ss decide on how many syllables each noun has and possibly what part of the word is stressed Pictures -alarm clock (alARM clock 2,1) -hair dryer (hair DRYer 1,2) -bookcase (bookcase 1,1) Realia -credit cards (CREdit cards 2,1) -sunglasses (sunGLASses 1,2) -can opener (can OPener 1,3) ? cigarette lighter (cigaRETTE LIGHter 3,2)
