Teaching procedure:

Step 1 Leading in

The teacher play the pictures of Wang Yibo. He is a popular star recently, and the Ss may be interested in him.

T: Who is he?

Ss: Yes, he is Wang Yibo.

T: What does he look like? Does he have long hair?

Ss: No, he has short hair.

(Teacher should blackboard “long” and “short”)

Step 2 Presentation

Task 1 brainstorm

T: Can you tell me how your parents or friends look like.

S1: My mother has long hair.

S2: My father is quiet.

S3: My friend is very outgoing.

(The teacher should blackboard the new word “quiet” and “outgoing”, and encourage the Ss say adj. and adv. as many as possible)

Task 2 work on 1a

T: Match each word with its opposite.

Check the answers together. And ask the Ss to write down more words like this.

Task 3 discuss the picture in 1a in groups

T: You may notice that there are twins in the picture. How many pairs of twins are there in the picture and who are they?

Ss: There are three pairs of twins. Tina and Tara, Sam and Tom, Paul and Peter.

Task 4 work on 1b

Listen to the tape and number the twins in the picture. Ask some students to show their answers. Listen again and have Ss repeat after the tape together.

Task 5 work on 1c

Learn the main sentence patterns

He/She is shorter/heavier/taller/more outgoing …

He/She has shorter hair/bigger eyes…

Step 3 Practice

Task 1

Ask Ss read the sentence patterns in 1c together.

Task 2

Ask Ss work in pairs and give them several minutes to create new sentences. After that, ask some pairs to perform and the teacher should give proper assessment.

Step 4 Consolidation

Divide the whole class into 3 groups and ask them to describe and compare their friends or classmates and then do a report.

Example: Peter and Paul are my good friend. Peter has shorter hair than Paul, but Paul is more outgoing than Peter.

The teacher give proper and specific assessments to the three groups.

Step 5 Summary

The teacher ask Ss to retell what we have learned today, and summarize the variation rules in adj. and adv. comparatives.

Step 6 Homework

Compare yourselves with your friends and then write down your sentences.
