Teacher Guide

This worksheet is to practice identifying when to use a comparative and when to use an adjective. Sometimes it is not obvious that there are two things being compared, such as in question 5. Help the students to understand each sentence and recognise if a comparison is being made or simply a description of something. Show them that 'than' is a keyword used in comparisons. Teach them some of the most common irregular comparatives. Then they can complete the questions, choosing between the 2 options for each line.

Lesson Plan

:

20 - Year 5 Lesson plan

10mins: Introduction - Beginner questions 'What's your name, how old are you, where are you from, have you got any brothers or sisters? What's your favourite day of the week? What do you usually do on this day? What's one thing you like? One thing you don't like?

10mins: Review: Ask each student to give an example sentence using a preposition of movement. Write the following formula on the board: Subject + verb + preposition + object. Remind students to use movement verbs with your students. (E.g. go, walk, run, ride, drive, dance.) Write the sentences on the whiteboard, and have students copy them into the back of their workbooks.

10mins: Review: Comparatives - brainstorm a list of countries with your students. Use them as examples to create comparative sentences. The comparative is formed by adding 'er' to the end of an adjective. Some adjectives change form completely, such as 'good' and 'bad'. Adjectives that have a vowel before the last letter will double the last letter before adding 'er'. (E.g. hotter). Add 'more' in front of Long adjectives. A 'long adjective' is an adjective with three or more syllables.

15mins: Worksheet: page 21 - comparatives

10mins: Activity: Have students draw a monster, imaginary friend or fictional character. The student must also name their monster, and write the name at the top of the page. After, display all the characters in the front of the classroom. Have students look at the characters and write comparative sentences about what they can see.

05mins: Warm Down: Goodbye + points. Pack up supplies, help students prepare to leave and straighten out the classroom.
