To provide clarification and practice of adjectives with the suffix -able in the context of health
Procedure (35-45 minutes)
I'll show an image and ask the ss questions about it. And they will find out the key word in this image. That word will be the first step to teach the ss adjectives ending with -able suffix.
The ss will match the adjectives with suitable nouns given and make logical combinations in pairs. They will match them on slides.
I will give the text as a handout by mixing the paragraphs and the ss will try to put the paragraphs in logical order. After ordering the paragraphs, they will stick their papers on the wall and do pair check. After reading the text, they will put a tick for detailed reading questions in the chart which will be shown as a slide.
The ss will find the words which are relevant to the definitions given in the exercise 3. And they will write them on a six-pointed star paper. I'll highlight the words by basing them on meaning, form and pronunciation.
I'll show the two statements in exercise 4 and asks who agrees or disagrees with the given statements. The ss who agree with the same statement will work in groups and discuss why they agree with that idea. They will report back to the whole class.
