Poster, chalk and board

number 1-9, except 5

- tell SS each box

contains a phrase with a

number, number 5 has

the same unit of

measure as in any box

SS will have to make a

logical sentence, the

group wins one point

Otherwise, the other

group has the chance to

make a sentence and

score the point

- the group with more

points will win the

game

- elicit from SS when these structures of comparison are often used

Today we will practice using these structures in describing information
