This is a lesson I did in the second grade. The lesson aim is introducing adjectives and their use in a sentence.
Lesson plan
Warm up activity:
1. Show students flash cards with the animals you have taught them previously and ask them to name the animals.
2. Give each student a flash card a ask them to say a whole sentence. ex. It's a bear / It's a lion
3. Put the flash cards on different walls in the classroom and play the game listen and point. Students listen to the word and they point to the correct picture.
Main part:
1. Put some pictures of animals on the board (bear, elephant, spider, snake and a giraffe). Show students cards with adjectives ( big, fat, tall, long, small) Try to elicit from the student which adjective best describes each animal. Repeat the words several times so that they practice the pronunciation and then make whole sentences. It's a big bear/ It's a fat elephant.
2. Use animal toys and give one toy to each student. Make cards with the adjectives written on them and put them around the classroom. Ask students to walk around the classroom and find one adjective that can be used to describe their animal. Make sure that you give them different animals now from the ones that are on the board. You can give them hippo-fat; rhino-fat; crocodile -long; bird/fish-small. etc. After they find the best adjective for their toy ask them to stand in a line and make a sentence with the adjective - It's a long crocodile. Help them out when necessary.
3. Write a sentence on the board- It's a big bear. Elicit the word order in the sentence and ask students to remember it. Prepare a poster with post it notes. Write jumbled up sentences and ask students to come to the board, one by one, and put the words in the correct order by re- arranging the post it notes. After they put them in the correct order, ask them to read the sentence out loud. Or if they find it too demanding help them out with the pronunciation.
End of class activity:
To finish the lesson in a positive note. sing the song The elephant walks like this and that...
Point out the adjectives in the song and make sure students remember them.
Enjoy your lesson!
