MY THIRD CLASS (SECOND PERIOD)

Greetings!!

Thanks God, this class was a pretty nice experience because all the activities went well.

In this class, I only developed activities to practice the target grammar of the unit which was “Comparative and Superlative Adjectives”. I developed one listening activity by using a song, two recognition exercises and at the end, a game which was called “The Superlative Award”.

I used the “Survivor’s” song by Destiny child as a warm-up. Ss worked in pairs and filled in the blanks of the lyrics with the comparative or the superlative adjectives in brackets and according to the ones they listened in the song.  I played the song three times; the first time I played it all, the second part till the part which ss needed to listen to it to fill the blanks in, and the last time I stopped the song just after each blank so that ss could check their job. Finally, I checked the activity by eliciting answers orally and by asking ss to say a sentence with the comparative and superlative of each adjective in the song.

For the next two activities ss continued working in pairs. For the first one, ss fill the blanks in with the comparative or superlative adjective in brackets. For the second one, ss fill the blanks in with the comparative or superlative adjective they considered appropriate for each sentence. During both exercises, I monitored the class and I clarified their doubts. Finally, I checked both exercises orally by eliciting answers from each couple.

The last activity was my favorite because it was pretty nice and sweet; as I wrote before it was called “The Superlative Award”.  

I gave ss instructions:

1.        1.   Think about a positive adjective which best describe one of your classmates.

2      2.   Don’t repeat the adjective with another classmate.

3        3.   Don’t give the award to the same person.

Then, I modeled the activity and finally I started it with the teacher; I said “The Superlative Award” goes to: the wisest person in the classroom, everybody clapped him, and the teacher continued with it. Finally, my co-worker gave me “The Superlative Award” for the most generous person and I shared the candies, which were in the award, with the whole class.

Finally, I thanked ss for their behavior and participation because they were very nice as my tutor.
