Main Aims

  • To reinforce students' understanding and accurate use of Week 6 comparison, adverb, and degree/result structures through guided review activities.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To reactivate Week 6 structures through communicative and competitive tasks.
  • To strengthen students' control of meaning contrasts (e.g. very vs too, comparative vs superlative).
  • To identify persistent problem areas before introducing new grammar.
  • To promote peer interaction and collaborative problem-solving.
  • To build confidence without immediate assessment pressure.

Procedure

Weekend Chat & Social Warm-up (25-30 minutes) • Build rapport and ease students into English use.

Students sit in a circle or semi-circle. The teacher opens with light, open-ended prompts such as: One good thing from your weekend One thing you did / watched / ate One plan for this week Students speak freely and ask follow-up questions. The teacher participates naturally. No correction is provided; the focus is fluency and re-entry into English.

Outdoor Grammar Rally (38-40 minutes) • Reactivate Week 6 grammar through movement and competition.

Setup Divide students into 2 teams of 4 Place buzzer 10-15 meters from the starting line Explain all rules clearly before starting Rules One runner per team per question Correct answer = 1 point Incorrect answer = very light energy reset Teams rotate runners so everyone participates Rally Rounds Round 1 - Choose the Correct Option Teacher reads a sentence with two options.
