Words (Stein)

Activity 1

Show learners the image in the first slide. Ask them to work with a partner and write down as many words as they can see. Share back with the whole class and accept any valid answers. 

Activity 2

Show learners the list of actions. Ask them to put the letters a-f in the appropriate order. Circulate and accept any reasonable answers. On the next slide, disucss possible solutions as a whole class. 

Activity 3

Show learners the multi-coloured circles. Ask them to identify and write down all the colours they can see. 

Activity 4

Ask leaners to look back on the three activities. Explain that they have been working with three special types of words that do different jobs.

Check their understanding by completing the next task. Learners identify which of the words are nouns, verbs and adjectives.

Nouns: dog, cake, computer 

Verbs: have (breakfast), clean (my teeth), get up 

Adjectives: yellow, red, blue

Finally, ask learners to write a paragraph about getting ready in the morning. You may like to start by modelling an example paragraph as a whole class. Ask learners to include nouns, verbs and adjectives they have seen in the day's lesson, and to write at least six sentences. As an extension, learners can include extra nouns, verbs and adjectives and swap with a partner to identify them.
