Materials

Main Aims

  • To introduce and revise patterns with comparative and superlatives

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide practice of comparatives and superlatives, and to teach how to use them correctly

Procedure

Lead-in (5-7 minutes) • to gain the student's attention of the context of the lesson

I will show a couple of photos of people exercising and playing various sports and ask them who likes to exercise and what type of exercise they normally do.

Text-work (10-15 minutes) • I will play an audio clip of someone speaking of their exercise habits

I will play an audio clip from the student handbook that will contain someone speaking of their exercising habits that will contain comparatives and superlatives in it. The students will have a quiz to complete while listening to the clip, identifying the different comparatives and superlatives during it.

Language clarification (10-15 minutes) • to explain the meaning, form and pronunciation of comparative and superlatives

I will use various examples from the audio clip to help me explain how we use comparatives and superlatives, when we use them and how we pronounce them.

Controlled practice (10-15 minutes) • I will give the students opportunities to use comparatives and superlatives

I will give the students a quiz in which they will have to choose the proper comparative or superlative that was used in the audio clip. I will have the students discuss the quiz in break out rooms and then we will go over the quiz as a class, having each student say a different question/answer.

Free practice (5-7 minutes) • to allow students to openly use comparatives and superlatives in an open format

I will open the floor to have the students ask any questions regarding when or how to use comparatives and superlatives
