Teacher Guide
Use this page to review previous topics: introduction questions, adjectives, simple present verbs, pronouns, the verb 'to be', the present continuous tense, 'was/were', prepositions, telling the time and comparatives. It's a good chance to do an art and craft activity, or draw a picture together then label the page with the key vocabulary already covered.
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.
25mins: Worksheet: page 23 - Review time - Please plan a craft or creative activity to reinforce 'comparatives'. Please remember to sign out any materials you use from the C.E. library.
05mins: Warm Down: Goodbye + points. Pack up supplies, help students prepare to leave and straighten out the classroom.
