30 min | Presenting Grammar. Plural form of the noun Slide #5-7 Presenting Grammar. Articles Slide # 7-13 | In this lesson we are going to be looking at plural forms of the noun. Look at the whiteboard. There are singular and plural nouns. Here we can see how the plural form is made. It is not simply –s but sometimes it is –es, and sometimes the spelling changes. Of course there are some exceptions from the main rule. Now there is also one more grammar topic to lean for today - articles. There is no exact translation of the word article in Russian and no accurate equivalent. So indefinite article (an/a) can be translated as one/any. If you want to ask any comb you should ask for “a comb”. However, if you want exactly red comb you ask for “the red”, because article “the” implies “the one/that one”. There are some cases when we must omit. Look at the whiteboard and let’s discuss what you’ll understand point by point. There is also a table for you. (Appendix 1) | |

Activity #2 | Exercise on grammar Now I have prepared for you a small game “pig in a poke”. A student puts out one thing that he cannot see at first. As he holds it in his hand he should name the thing and make plural form of that noun. So, let’s start the game.

3 min | Reflection Activity: | How was the lesson for today? What was unclear? What did you understand? Here is an apple tree trunk on the blackboard and some apples on the teacher’s table. If you liked the lesson and understood everything you should stick an apple on the tree, if it was not clear stick an apple to the ground. | Presentation was interesting; I have learned new interesting information. The grammatical topic was clear but exceptions confuse me sometimes. |
