Presenting - How much / How many and their use with countable and uncountable nouns

The aim of this lesson is to introduce how much and how many to the students and their use with countable and uncountable nouns. We are going to revise food vocabulary and discuss what ingredients are needed to make a cake and pizza.

1. As a lead in to the lesson I decided to buy some cupcakes and give to the students to taste so that I can elicit what ingredients are used in the preparation of this dessert. I showed flashcards with different kinds of food and asked the students to agree or disagree with what is used in the cupcakes. I put the food in two columns and the students realize that the other ingredients are used to make pizza.
I wrote examples on the board and asked students to copy in their notebooks.

2. As a next activity I used a dialogue from the textbook we use in class. The students had to listen and write down how many or how much of each ingredient is used in the pizza the children make in the dialogue.

3. As a finishing activity I used the story Timmy goes shopping. The students listen to the story carefully and choose the correct shopping basket.

Face vocabulary - Learning can be fun!

I use English Adventure B, with the second grade students. When we learn about the parts of the face and the body this is how we usually do it.
1.  I play the song from the CD that goes with the book and students work in pairs so that they need to show the part of the face they hear but on their partner's face.
2. Then I put pictures on the board with the target vocabulary and I play a CD ( you can say the words yourself) and the students need to point to the correct picture.
3. Next, I read them the story Is this my nose? ( A lovely storybook you can order here, they don't charge delivery : http://www.bookdepository.com/Is-This-My-Nose-/9780764161537) , and we use the mirror at the end of the book. Look in the mirror and name the parts of the face.
4. Finally, we use some toys - Mr. and Mrs Potato head - students create their faces and then describe them.
