Teacher Guide

Teach the students that superlatives are used to indicate that something is the most or least of some quality, and it is formed by adding 'est' to the adjective. Explain that there are some spelling rules to be aware of. This worksheet divides them into the main types of spelling. Have them organise the adjectives provided into the correct box, then write three sentences using superlatives of their choice. Show that we need to use the article 'the' before the superlative.

Lesson Plan

:

23 - 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: Have students write two comparative questions. They must ask and record the answer of a classmate.

10mins: Pre-teach: Superlatives - The superlative is formed by adding 'est' to the end of an adjective. It indicated that something has the 'most' of a group of three or more. 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 'est'. (E.g. hottest). Add 'most' in front of Long adjectives. A 'long adjective' is an adjective with three or more syllables.

15mins: Worksheet: page 24 - superlatives

10mins: Activity: Good, better, best classroom competition. Split the students into three teams. Have one student from each team compete for each category (Examples are the following: Who can jump the farthest? Who is the tallest? Who has the best smile? Who can draw the best circle?) Award teams points for good, better and best, or whatever category is listed.

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