The Good and the Bad TP6
Elementary level level

Description

In this lesson, Ss will learn adverbs to use with the adjectives they learned in a previous lesson, in the context of competitions. The lesson begins with photos and a conversation about competitions. Then Ss do a quick reading for gist of a text about competitions, followed by reading for detail task. Then, Ss practice using adjectives and are introduced to the new lexis, adverbs, through photos and the reading text. Ss then do a controlled practice using the adverbs, which is followed by a freer activity focussed on using the TL.

Do you or your friends enter competitions? 2. What things do people win in competitions? 3. What would you want to win in a competition?

Exposure - Read for gist (1-2 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation
