W4-D4-Quantifiers Pt. 2

Description

This lesson expands students' control of quantifiers by focusing on existence, absence, and sufficiency. Students learn to choose between some, any, no, none, and to express whether quantities are sufficient using enough / not enough. The lesson moves from controlled accuracy practice to communicative production in realistic contexts.

Main Aims

  • To enable students to accurately use some / any, enough / not enough, and no / none in spoken and written communication.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To distinguish between affirmative, negative, and question forms.
  • To express sufficiency and insufficiency clearly.
  • To avoid common errors with no vs not any and none.
  • To use quantifiers in meaningful spoken interaction.

Procedure

Activation (25-30 minutes) • Promote fluency and interaction before grammar focus.

Opinion Corners Label four areas of the room: Strongly agree / Agree / Disagree / Strongly disagree. Read opinion statements unrelated to quantifiers (e.g. food preferences, routines, habits). Students move to the corner that matches their opinion. Students explain their choice to a partner in the same corner. The teacher monitors for fluency only and does not correct grammar.

Vocabulary (12-15 minutes) • Provide topic-specific lexical support.

Vocabulary: meal portion, serving size, daily amount, small amount, large amount, prescription diet, dry food, wet food, hairball formula, food allergy The teacher presents each word with a clear definition. One example sentence is provided for each item. After each word, one student produces a sentence orally. The teacher reformulates when needed. Students record vocabulary in their notebooks.

Presentation (28-30 minutes) • Clarify form, meaning, and contrast.

Teach the rest of quantifiers: some - any enough no - none Explain the different questions to know quantity (how much and how many). Give examples. Ask for examples.

Controlled Practice (20-25 minutes) • Build accuracy in form and meaning.

Students work individually. Exercise A: Choose the correct option (some / any / no / none / enough). Students compare answers in pairs. Whole-class feedback is conducted. Exercise B: Rewrite sentences using no / none or not enough. Pair-check followed by whole-class correction. The teacher highlights common errors (double negatives, misuse of none).

Production (18-20 minutes) • Encourage realistic, meaningful use of quantifiers.

Students work in pairs. Each pair imagines they are adjusting a feeding plan. They prepare: 6-8 sentences using target quantifiers At least: 2 with some / any 2 with enough / not enough 2 with no / none Partners present orally. Listening partners ask one follow-up question. The teacher monitors and notes errors for later feedback.
