Procedure

Warmer/Lead-In (5-8 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T will ask class difference between "old" and "new" using one old/one new phone example (or other realia) to get them to describe an object and discuss opposites. Ask students to share examples about something that's important to them, requiring them to describe it and have the class suggest what other things they can say about the Ss object. T writes adj. and sub. on WB while they call out

Pre-Exercise (5-8 minutes) • To introduce subjects, adjectives, and opposites

T will select one phrase from previous exercise, circle noun and underline adjective. Discuss with class the meaning of the vocab. in Exercise 1. Have students give examples to explain meaning.

Word Order (5-8 minutes) • To teach Ss syntax and the meaning of before/after

T writes example sentence on board. Ask a student to come to the board and circle the nouns and underline the adj. Explain Before/After. Have Ss in pairs do Exercise 2a) and check with WC

Drill (5-8 minutes) • To verify that the Ss understand simple syntax when including adjectives.

Have students look at 3a on their own and use the rules in 2) to put words in the correct order. Students can check their answers in pairs, after with the class.

Reading/Listening (5-10 minutes) • To have Ss practice reading aloud and enhance listening comprehension

Have Ss read Exercise 4 text to themselves and ask for word definitions. After, play audio track and then have Ss complete 4a. Discuss answers first in groups, then with class.
