Yes Can the definition of the new word help you to pick the correct word from the box? Yes Ss check their answers with a partner. (2 min) Take W/C FB. Write the compound words on the WB (Note: leave enough space between the words; write petrol station, taxi rank, and speed camera at the very bottom).

Meaning: Ask Ss if there are any words on the WB that they don't understand. Ask if other Ss can explain the word to the S. If not, explain the word to the S. (see LA for definition and CCQs) Form: Elicit from Ss the form of a compound noun: noun + noun = compound noun Elicit from Ss what the job of the first noun is: to describe the second noun. Tell Ss that the first noun functions as an adjective that describes the second noun. Write the words sunglasses and can-opener on WB. CCQ: Are these compound nouns?

Ss work in pairs. Tell Ss they are going to receive a handout with the compound nouns they practiced. On that handout is half of a crossword. One S will get a crossword with only the words going down filled in. The other S will receive a crossword with only the words across filled in. Show on WB with an easy example: across: 1. strawberry 4. pear down: 2. apple 3. cherry Tell Ss that they can not show their part of the crossword to the other S. Tell Ss they are going to complete their crossword by asking their partner for the missing word. For example, "What is 1 down?" The S must try to describe the word without telling the actual word.
