ESL Objectives Students will be able to use the the comparative and superlative to compare the different countries represented in the classroom. Students will become more familiar with each other and the different countries represented in the classroom. Students will ask and answer questions concerning geographical information. Students will scan a page for information. Class goes to the ABC News site and compares what they discussed with what the site says.
Class then brainstorms for all the different countries represented in the classroom.
They then fill in the Country Comparison Grid Sheet. The sheet has the countries in the cells down the far left column and the different things to be compared in the cells across the top row. Students work in pairs to formulate the question they would have to ask to get the information they need on the grid. Students divide up the countries and get the information they need from the ABC News site . Students interview each other and fill in the information in the grid that their partners supply.
