as many new words as possible from the words given Tell SS they can change the spelling if necessary

This is the list of words:

-Pictures

Educate read nation

Approve deny

The suffix -al

- elicit from SS the

function of the suffix –

al in a word ( expected:

the suffix –al changes the word-class of the word.)

- tell SS the suffix –al can help recognize the word class, that is, noun

or adjective

Activity 1: Noun of adjective ( task a,

p.135)

- Verb + al = noun

E.g.: survive + al

= survival

- noun + al = optional

Textbook

- Ask SS to read and

decide if they are noun

of adjective Write N or

A next to the words

- Tell SS to compare

answers with a partner

- go over the answers

with the class and check

if they know the

meanings of these

words

Activity 2: gap-filling

(task b, p.136)

- Tell SS to read the

sentences and fill in

each blank with a

suitable word from the

box in Task a

- go around to control

and give help if

necessary

grammar

(20’)

Reduced Relative clauses

- write on the board

some sentences with relative clauses:

- Ask SS what these sentences have in common (expected : they all contain a relative clause.)

- Tell SS to rewrite the sentences in other

possible ways:

- underline the phrases

Ex: a Louis

Armstrong was the first man who

landed on the Moon

b the man who is talking to the manager is my new flat mate

 a Louis Armstrong was the first man to land on the Moon

b the man talking to the manager is my

- textbook

- Chalk and board

and tell SS to pay attention to these

- tell SS these are non-finite clauses (to-innon-finite phrase, present

participle and past participle phrases) reduced from relative clauses

- elicit and introduce different ways of reducing relative clauses

1 To-infinitives can be used to replace Re

clauses when the preceding noun/pronoun

contains the first/second, etc , the next, last, only, and the superlatives

new flat mate

Textbook

We can leave out the

noun (except after only)

if the meaning is clear

To-infinitives can also

be used to replace

relative clauses when

there is an idea of

purpose or permission

2 Present participles

can be used to replace

relative clauses when

the verb in the clause is

active

This structure is often

used when the verb in

the clause is in

progressive tense,

expresses a habitual or

continuous action, or a

wish

- ask SS to do exercise

Ex: - the boy waiting outside is her classmate

- People working in his office have to wear uniform

in the textbook and correct them
