Description

In this lesson, students learn about adjectives ending in -ed/-ing through language clarification based on listening to and reading a text about media. The lesson starts with a discussion about provided statements on media. This is followed by a listening task where they listen and match the opinions of speakers to the statements. Then they read the tapescript and underline the forms of -ed/ing adjectives used by the speakers. After that the adjectives' MPF will be clarified via eliciting, CCQs, conducting drills and explaining form. Finally, there is controlled practice through circling the right adjective form and free practice via a group activity where students discuss what topics are in the news and how they feel about them.
