TP7-Grammar
Intermediate level
Description
Materials
Main Aims
-
To provide clarification and practice of Quantifiers and use them to speak grammatically correct about real life situations.
Subsidiary Aims
-
To read a text for gist and identify target language.
Procedure (35-43 minutes)
T shares Google Slides on screen with 1-2 questions to answer that utilize Quantifiers. The number of questions asked will depend on the number of student attendance (For example, +4=1 question, <3=2) questions). T gets a student to ask a question. T demos answer. S then take turns asking and answering as nominated by the student who answered.
Students will read a text for gist and answer a question about the main idea. 1 minute. T will give instructions and ask ICQ mechanics, such as: To read for the main idea should you read quickly or slowly? Quickly. Are you doing both questions or only #1 after you read? Only #1. They will then try to identify some target language that helped tell them what the text was about. T will share a link into the chat for this (Question 1 and 2.) After 1 minute, Ss will give their answer for #1. Then, Ss need to re-read the text and answer #2. If there are 3 or less students they can discuss Question #2 for 1-2 minutes. If more than 3, they can work independently. T will check answers with students for OCFB.
Students will clarify MFP of the target language. Guided Discovery may be used for MFP depending on attendance. Otherwise, it will be done individually. T will give instructions and ask ICQs, such as “Do you work together or individually?”- answer will depend on attendance. T will demo the first question with the class. T will share the link to the Google Form to the chat. T will then show the answer key for M and F only on Google Slides, and may elicit additional answers if time. Such as, 1. “Can you make a different sentence using ‘too much’?” 2. “Can you make a different sentence using ‘none’?” T will then do P through elicitation, modeling, and drilling on Google Slides, for stress and linking words (on sentences Ss were given at the end of the MF). Can ask stress word question, such as: 1. If we remove the extra words and only leave the important words, do you still understand the topic? (ask, borrow, sugar, have, none) Yes
Students will do a CP activity on Google Forms to show understanding of the target language. They will do this individually. T will give instructions and ask ICQ “In pairs or individually?” Individually. How long? 3mins. T demos the first answer. T will share the link to the chat. T will show the answer key and ask if all correct. Depending on time, T will elicit 1-3 additional questions, such as: 1. How does the meaning change when I say “There was too much traffic.” instead of “There wasn’t too much traffic.”- It becomes negative (by removing the negative verb). 2. Can I use quantifies together and say “Do you have plenty of some money?” No. Either, but not both. 3. How does the tone change if I say “There are SOME shops around here.”? I’m saying there aren’t enough/there’s a restricted amount, as opposed to a limited number (which would normally be okay).
T will share Google Slides with a the statement/question “I wasn’t to visit your country (or city). Can you tell me about it?” T will demo a scripted answer (that a student asked). T will share question from Google Docs with target language and noun ideas to the chat. S will either take turns asking/answering, or will do pair work in break out rooms, depending on numbers.
T will write examples of good language, errors, and language to reformulate. T will elicit which language needs corrections.
