(if they prefer any other they can mention the pet they prefer and answering why) They will have 2 minutes to discuss it 3.- Ss come back and teacher makes OCFB

Exposure (4-5 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

1.- T will present some examples to Ss: *Collecting koi is far more addictive than you might think *They're as beautiful as butterflies *They're slightly bigger than the ones I've got *I paid considerably less than this 2.- MEANING T will ask Ss some CCQs so Ss identify the function of the sentences: *What are these sentences refering to? comparisons *Complete the chart with the correct sentece Which sentence(s) refer to... Big difference: Small difference: No difference: 3.- FORM: In sentence 1, which structure do you see? Subject + _________ + (_________) + _________ + than +________ What about sentence 3? Subject + _________ + (___________) + _________ + than + ___________ *The teacher will explain how adverbs work in sentences= as modifiers to show big or small sentences *T will ask Ss why they think that in sentence 3 the adjective ends in -er *T will explain that regular verbs with one syllable just need to add -er at the end to make it a comparative adjective //// adjectives with two or more sentences should be formed by more + adjective + than *Irregular adjectives have their own conjugation just as irregular verbs e.g.: good≠goodder/more good. Good= better and so on Now let’s focus on sentence 2 Subject + _________ + as +____________+ ___ + _____________ And finally sentence 4 Subject + _______ + __________ + _________ + than + ______ *T will explain the structure to students, when we use as... as we always put the adjective in the middle.
