Teaching Hyun-Chu learn how to compare Regina and her hometown in Korea (multi-lesson)

The following activities could be included:

  • Make a list of nouns associated with Regina and have her add to the list.
  • Have her describe each noun using an adjective - provide additional adjectives whenever necessary.
  • Have her classify each adjective by the number of syllables it has (make a chart).
  • Using one syllable adjectives, write some sentences using the comparative (adjective + er + than) form.

  • Repeat using two syllable and then three (or more) syllable words.
  • Have her write additional sentences using the vocabulary provided for homework (follow-up).
  • Review work between each session.
