Procedure

Lead-in (5-5 minutes) • To generate interest in the topic and activate existing knowledge

I will go to the front of the class with price labels on my hat, jeans, jacket and shoes. I tell the class I have just been shopping. I ask them 1: What shop have I been to? ("clothes shop") 2: (e.g.), "What cost £10?" (my hat), "What cost £7?" (my jeans), "What cost £5?" (my jacket), "What cost £20?" (my shoes). This will also give a preliminary indication as to whether they understand the concept of plural nouns (trousers, which can be compared to shoes), jeans/trousers, hat/cap, shoes/trainers, jacket/coat.
