Teaching Grammar Creatively Every lesson is a little different, but they all share most of these factors. Stages of a lesson: 1. Meaning Lead in / Model text / Discovery Meaning focus / Inductive 2. Form Consolidation / Form focus 3. Use / Text creation

Teaching Grammar Creatively For the next few weeks we’re going to focus on teaching grammar creatively. Today we have activities (not full lessons) for these grammar points: 1. articles 2. apostrophe s 3. comparatives and superlatives

Articles Let’s practice this together. You read the questions. There’s a word on a page. Where’s the page? The page is in a book. Where’s the book? The book is on a table. Where’s the table? The table is in a room. Where’s the room? The room is in a house. Where’s the house?

Articles Now let’s try some new ones. • There’s a worm in an apple… • There’s a bee on a flower… • There’s a flea on a dog… • There’s a fish in a pond…

Apostrophe s Listen and write my story. Hi, how’s it going? Look there’s a party at Steve’s place. He’s invited some musicians round. Tom’s going, and his flatmate, what’s her name, Tracey. She’s a guitarist and she’s got a great voice. There’s a shop nearby we can buy beer. It’s called Joe’s Wines. Let’s meet at seven.

Apostrophe s Put the words with apostrophe s in the right column: is has us possessive ‘s
