* Show Ss the top half of HO 1. Ss to read the questions and guess how their partner would answer. * CCQ for (several) if needed - Is it more than one? yes, Is it many? yes * Put Ss in pairs and give the HO. * When they are finished they need to ask the Qs to their partner to check if they guessed correctly. * FB - check whats an alcoholic and a workaholic and Ss answer. * Ask who is a chocoholic?
* On the WB write - chocolate is good for you chips are good for you * The verb (Is) after chocolate is it singular or plural? singular (highlight no 's' after chocolate) * The verb (are) after chips is it singular or plural? plural (note the 's' after chips) * What are chocolate and chips ? nouns * Show the 2nd half of HO 1 and explain that all the words in the box are singular. Ss need to decide which words are countable and uncountable . If a word is countable then use the plural form * Ss complete in pairs while I monitor & check for accuracy & prompt to get Ss to self-correct if necessary * Ss to check answers on the answer key on the wall
* Show Ss HO 2 (top half) - they need to complete the sentences with countable/uncountable * Give HO2 Ss to complete alone while I monitor * Check the answers with a partner 1) countable 2) uncountable *Ask Ss if any nouns can be both countable and uncountable ? chocolate can be because it is in a liquid form (chocolate) and you can also have chocolates in a box of chocolates (a chocolate) * In pairs complete the second half of HO 2 * check answers as a whole class (beer, cake, coffee, salad, whisky, yoghurt
