TP 7 Superlatıves
Beginner level

Description

In this lesson, the Ss will practice superlative adjectives as a grammar subject. They will practice -est, the most, in the context of people and animals. They will match some pictures and sentences and be exposed to the structure through this matching activity and they will fill a chart to clarify the difference between comperative and superlative form. This will be followed by a clarification activity. They will stand up and go to a corner of the class where they won't be able to see each other and draw a star. Then, the teacher helps them make comperative sentences to compare their drawings. Then, they will answer some questions related to the subject. This will be followed by a speaking activity in the context of a party.
