Teacher Guide
Your students should be familiar with the comparative and superlative forms (covered in previous course and lesson) but go over some examples to revise their use and structure before starting.
Have the students complete the gaps and then check their work. More advanced students may be able to form some more examples based on the character images. You can guide them with questions such as "Who do you think is the funniest character?" "Is Marge kinder than Mr Burns?" etc. It's great to encourage conversation skills and show your students how these forms can be useful when discussing preferences and opinions.
