Procedure (82-90 minutes)
Procedure: Play a short video clip showing casual conversations that include the three target structures. After watching, ask: What were they comparing? What words showed how often something happens? Which adjectives were most common?
Quickly review: Form and irregulars for comparatives (e.g. better, more expensive) Form for superlatives (e.g. the best, the most common) Range and order of adverbs of frequency (always, usually, often, rarely, never) Board or distribute sample sentence starters for support.
Procedure: Pairs interview each other with support cards that combine grammar targets. Each prompt requires both: A comparative or superlative An adverb of frequency Examples: What is the most stressful part of your week? Which place do you visit more often, the supermarket or the bank? Who gets up earlier, you or your roommate? Switch partners after 3–4 questions. Group Ranking Challenge Groups of 3–4 receive 5–6 lifestyle categories (e.g. healthiest habits, most annoying tasks, best times of day). They must: Discuss and agree on a ranked list Justify each choice using comparatives/superlatives and frequency adverbs Example output: Cleaning is more tiring than cooking because I do it less often I think morning is the best time to work because I’m usually more focused Groups share their top 2 rankings with the class.
Students write 2 sentences from the class: One using a superlative and adverb of frequency One using a comparative Pairs exchange papers and check: Grammar form Frequency logic Clarity Instructor boards 2–3 strong examples, highlights any patterns needing correction.
