Main Aims

  • To provide clarification of School subjects in the context of To clarify adjectives of feelings with dependent prepositions when talking about school days.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide clarification of School subjects in the context of To practice speaking accurately and fluently about feelings of school days.

Procedure

School • Adjectives and prepositions

My main aim is to help better understanding of meaning of the adjectives and prepositions used in the lesson. To anticipate using in correct sentence formatting and to help clarify the vocabulary introduced in the lesson.

(7-10 minutes) • WB

Set the context by eliciting the word 'school' and writing it the center of the WB. Draw 4 lines branching out from the word and write 'subjects', 'verbs', 'people', and 'in class' at the end of each line. In pairs, get Sts to mind-map (look at Ts Bk pg 16) for more info.

(2-5 minutes)

Tell Sts a story about your own feelings of when you were at school(what you liked/did not like, things you were good at, etc). In pairs, get Sts to share their own feelings and expressions. Monitor and make a note of any adjectives you hear them mention.

(5-10 minutes)

adjectives you heard and elicit which side of the board it should go in. Repeat with another one. Check the sts understand that they should categorise adjectives depending on their meaning. Put Sts into small groups and give each one a cut-up cards containing different adjectives of feelings(Vocabulary and Speaking ex. 1) on page 16, without the prepositions). Provide an answer key and then ask CCQs to find out whether Sts know the meaning of the words fully. ( For words 'terrible' 'is this very bad or little bad?) Clarify anything they are still struggling with.

(3-5 minutes)

Use the adjective 'good' and make a full sentence about something you do/did well at school. Blank out the word 'at' (I was good ....gesture that something is missing). and elicit from the class the missing info. Explain that adjectives often match the prepositions (consider whether or not you use the terminolgy with your learners). Give each group another set of cut up cards containing different prepositions and they should try to match them with the adjectives on the other cards.

(5-7 minutes)

Provide each group with a brief story about your own school days (containing TL) that they can read and check their answers. Elicit from Sts the correct sentence structure (ie. how do we make full sentence?) using the examples in the text. In pairs, get Sts to tell each other about their own experiences again, but this time using the TL.

(7-10 minutes)

Create a Find Someone Who worksheet and use the vocabulary generated in the mind-map at the beginning of the lesson. Blank out preposition, so that Sts have to try and remember the correct one when speaking.
