15 minutes Exercise Students do Ex. A. on page 27 alone, and then do B in pairs. 15 minutes Parts of Speech Game Students are divided into groups of three. They are given stacks of cards with several words each for each of the 9 parts of speech introduced above.
Students use their cards to form the sentences, and then share their sentences with the class.
15 minutes Introduction to Subjects, Verbs, Objects, Complements, and Modifiers Teacher uses OHP to show students several simple sentences, and ask students what the subject and verb of the sentence are. Direct and indirect objects, complements, and modifiers would be dealt with in a similar, inductive way. We then go over it as a class. Students then find partners and share their notes about areas of concern. Together, they brainstorm about what they can do to work through the difficult issues, making notes in their grammar journals.
