Presentation Cont. Part II: Comparing objects using one syllable words (adjectives) Using the words (adjectives) in the first column and the landscape and city vocabulary (nouns), make sentences using the vocabulary previously learned. Example Materials: (noun) vocabulary cards with the words "bank" and "store" (Adjective) vocabulary cards that say: "big", "tall", "old", "nice", "small", "new", "cheap" and "clean" Cards that say: "is" "ger" "er" "r" "the" (x2) and "than" Take the photos and say the following sentence: The farm is bigger than the park. Take the cards and use them to make the sentence you have just said. Hyun-Chu will read the sentence that she sees. Repeat exercise using a different adjective: The park is smaller than the farm. Hyun-Chu will use the vocabulary provided and say a sentence. She will use the cards to make a sentence. Read her sentence back to her. Allow her to make any changes she wants. Repeat with other adjectives and nouns. Exercise(s) Part I: Write a short dialogue together comparing things previously labeled in the photographs. (The tutor will write one line and then have the learner respond to that statement in written form.) Part II: Free conversation Discuss how Regina is different than her hometown. Ask questions whenever there is a lull. (i.e. Which city has wider roads?) Summary Review vocabulary cards. Read the dialogue again together and point out where she has used the form correctly. Reiterate the need to continue learning in this area in order to do the best job possible on her major project due later this term. Personal Reflections on the Lesson Hyun-Chu did all the exercises very well. Perhaps I could have introduced more vocabulary in the prior lesson and added additional related vocabulary in this lesson. Her dialogue was very well done, but she took a long time writing it. Maybe, the assignment should have been given as homework. I could have written out some short dialogues for person #1 and she could have written out the responses for Person #2. Person #1: Hello. I am looking for the bank. I heard it is on this street. Person #2: Yes, it is further down this street, next to the store. Person #1: What does the building look like? Person #2: ____________________________________________ Person #1: I want to go to Regina or Saskatoon for the weekend. Person #2: You should go to Regina. Person #1: Why? Person #2: Regina is ___________ than Saskatoon. Items to Include in Portfolio Have Hyun- Chu fill in the reflection sheet (for speaking or listening exercises) for homework. The dialogue will be placed in the portfolio and added to the writing summary sheet.
