Main Aims

  • By the end of this lesson, students will be able to demonstrate practice of adjectives and nouns in the context of United States culture and in the description of specific items.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To practice listening for detail.

Procedure

Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students in describing places, things, and people

Focus Ss' attention on describing places, things, and people. I will provide a Google Slides presentation with images to accompany my lead-in activity. Ss will ask me questions about my hometown: Which state? How big? What can you see? What kind of food?

Pre-teach Vocabulary (5-10 minutes) • To provide a vocabulary foundation to students for demonstrating adjective + noun structure.

After demonstration, Ss will take cut-out, typed vocabulary words of nouns and adjectives and match them together to describe an object accurately, using vocabulary from today's lesson. Groups will move around and check each other's matching, asking each other why. Class will then consult answer keys and check as a whole class.

Exercise 1A and 1B (5-7 minutes) • To gauge effectiveness of pre-teaching vocabulary with a non-assessed quiz.

Before activities, T will demonstrate Broadway and Big Apple since Ss will not be familiar with these colloquialisms. T will demonstrate to WC the first two questions of the exercise. Ss will fill in remaining Qs alone under limited time restraint of a few minutes. When finished, T and WC check w/ answer keys.

Exercise 3A (5-7 minutes) • To demonstrate written analysis and composition of the adjective and noun structure in English.

T will write multiple sentences on the board demonstrating the adjective + noun structure in English. Specific colors and symbols will be used to show precisely which words are which, and the addition of "musical language" demonstration will aid in student comprehension.

Exercise 1B 146 (5-7 minutes) • To give students the opportunity to practice usage of adjectives in describing people, places and things.

Demonstration of the first two questions with WC. S-S will work in pairs to describe items with adjectives. T checks w/ WC.

Exercise 1C 146 (5-7 minutes) • To expand Ss' vocabulary on the range of describing items, places and people.

Demonstration of the first two questions by T. Ss will work in pairs to determine the opposites of words in exercise 1C by finding words in exercise 1B. At the end, T checks w/ WC using an answer key.

Exercise 3C (3-5 minutes) • To provide students the ability to perceive the traits of items and describe them in a limited time constraint.

T will demonstrate one of the images in the activity before beginning. Ss will work in pairs under a limited time frame of three minutes, using words on the board written by T, to describe images of items inside the workbook.
