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?

05mins: Review: 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. Write some examples on the board.

10mins: Game: Have students stand in a circle. Use two different colored bean bags. Indicate that one colour means the 'comparative' and the other colour means the 'superlative'. Say an adjective, and toss the bean bags to two different students. They must say either the comparative or superlative of the adjective you've said, depending on the colour of the bean bag. If a student is incorrect, they are eliminated.

20mins: Worksheet: page 27 - Review time - Please plan a craft or creative activity to reinforce 'superlatives'. Please remember to sign out any materials you use from the C.E. library.

10mins: Game: Class superlatives - think of some 'superlative' categories (all positive) such as the fastest, the best smile, the nicest, the best friend, etc. Have students vote for the classmates in these categories. Be sure that you have the same number of categories as students, and be sure that each student only votes for another student once. (You can manipulate the results if you need to make sure everyone wins).

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