Procedure (35-45 minutes)
The T introduces the Ss to a brief slide asking them to assign the adjectives inside the box to the three pictures on the screen. The Ss will work on the lead-in by themselves. The purpose of the lead-in is to prime the Ss to think about adjectives and to later think of adjectives that are associated with introvert, extrovert, and ambivert. The T will elicit answers from the Ss. The T will ask the Ss to justify their answers.
The T explains briefly what adjectives do in a sentence. T explains how adjectives describe both physical and abstract characteristics. The T introduces the nouns introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts. The T asks the Ss to get into pairs to work on the content preparation task 2 slide before discussing the MFP slide. Ss are required to assign the adjective/statements provided to the pictures in the slide.
The T explains briefly the terms introvert, extrovert, and ambivert using examples. The T drills the pronunciation of the three terms. The T asks CCQ to ensure Ss understand the difference between the two. The T explains briefly the rules for converting adjectives into the comparative and superlative forms using a separate help sheet. The T provides the Ss with a worksheet consisting of five multiple choice questions asking them to choose the correct version of the comparative or superlative form of the adjective. The T reviews the answers to the worksheet with the Ss. The link to the worksheet is https://docs.google.com/document/d/10HXog-4iye6HajPSODKz6EyXJQBvdjFD2SUvOL8ioPk/edit The link to the answer sheet for the worksheet is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1exw2_HqCm-jmwUAJiQ0KLaauvpCTt-yXvbfOWyP9fpI/edit The link to the comparative and superlative worksheet is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lNQ_WXgdoAEyzvnpwlAazmjWmRjl3TJ9ENEabttjqLU/edit?usp=sharing.
The T instructs the Ss they will get into pairs/groups and use comparatives and superlatives to describe one or two family members. The Ss will interview each other and formulate their answers based on the following three questions: 1. Describe the person's main personal characteristics. 2. Are they introverts or extroverts? 3. How do they compare to you? The Ss will report their findings to the rest of the class.
The T asks Ss for volunteers on who would like to speak about their respective family member(s). The T will nominate a S if they are mum. The T listens listens attentively to the language content for errors and provides language feedback, if necessary. The T provides positive reinforcement when necessary.
