Note: If the class is not good or keen on drawing, it can be replaced by miming.

Activity 3a Look, listen and repeat. 5 min

Objective: to introduce the new vocabulary

STEP 1: Ask the pupils to look at the picture. Explain that it is a school for birds. The director is the eagle. Ask the pupils to fi nd the director and the word for it (eagle). Elicit what the translation can be in mother tongue. Ask the pupils to look at the picture on the right of the director and the word “peacock”. Ask what “peacock” is in mother tongue. Then do the same with the other five pictures and the words for them.

STEP 2: After the pupils get the meaning, you can ask them to repeat the words after you or the DVD in chorus, rows and individually.

Activity 3b Play “Mime a bird”. 5 min

Objective: to consolidate the new vocabulary

Invite a pupil to the front of the class. Ask him to mime a bird in Activity 3b, the others in the class ask Yes/No questions as shown in the example below until they find the bird.

e.g. Pupil A: (mimes a peacock)

Pupil B: ‘Is it an ostrich?’

Pupil A: ‘No.’

Pupil C: ‘Is it a peacock?’Pupil A: ‘Yes.’

Activity 4a Look, say, listen and repeat. 5 min

Objectives: to introduce the superlative degree of one-syllable adjectives

to consolidate the comparative degree of one-syllable adjectives

STEP 1: Ask the pupils to look at the pictures and the words under them. Then say: ‘The swallow is small.’ and show its size with hands. Then say: ‘The sparrow is smaller than the swallow.’ and

show its size. After that say: ‘The humming bird is the smallest.’ with gesture.

STEP 2: Help the pupils say first the meaning of the words

‘small’, ‘smaller’ and ‘the smallest’ and then the sentences: 1) The swallow is small. 2) The sparrow is smaller than the swallow. 3) The humming bird is the smallest. At last have the pupils repeat the words and the sentences after you in chorus and rows.

Activity 4b Look and write. 5 min

Objective: to consolidate the comparative and superlative degrees of one-syllable adjectives

STEP 1: Ask the pupils to open their Workbooks at Page 32 and look at Picture A in Activity 4b. Ask them to compare the birds’ speed and write the comparative and superlative degree of the word

“fast” under the pictures. Help if necessary. Answer key: fast, faster, the fastest

STEP 2: Draw their attention to Picture B. Tell them to compare the size of the birds now and write the appropriate degrees under them. Help if necessary. Answer key: big, bigger and the biggest

Activity 4c Work in threes. Speak about the birds in 3a. 8 min

Objective: to give further practice in saying comparative and superlative degrees of one-syllable adjectives

STEP 1: Divide the class into groups of three. Ask the pupils to draw very simple pictures of birds in Activity 3a on small pieces of paper.

STEP 2: When they finish, draw their attention to the word cloud. Say the words with gestures and ask the pupils to repeat.

STEP 3: Ask the pupils to put the pictures they have drawn in order and say the sentences as in the example using the adjectives in the word cloud.

STEP 4: If time allows, you can ask some groups to make a presentation.

Homework 2 min

Ask the pupils to open their Workbooks at Page 32 and look at Homework 1. Explain that in Homework 1 they must write sentences about the 4 birds as in the example using the words in the cloud. Draw their attention to Homework 2. Ask the pupils to open the page the arrow is showing. When everybody opens Page 35, explain that they must write sentences as in the example using the table.

Explain that all ticks mean the birds can do such activities, and all crosses mean they cannot do them.
