1．学习运用形容词的比较级来比较两个人或两件事；2.

Step 1 Lead-in

T asks Ss to describe their best friends, taking the Reading part as an example.

(Ss can hold photos of their friends in hand)

Some Ss come to the blackboard and describe.

T shows one of the descriptions and underlines some adjectives in the description.

Step 2 Presentation

T: These underlined words are called adjectives. Please look at the pictures and the sentences. Can you tell me the use of adjectives in them?

Show a picture of a woman with short hair and a sleeping cat.

Ss find out that adjectives are used to describe people or things and are used before nouns or after linking verbs.

T shows Ss some of the linking verbs which are often used.

Step 3 Practice

Ss do Part A, P12. Rearrange the words to form complete sentences.

T helps Ss find out the use of adjectives in each sentence--- before a noun or after a linking verb.

Step 5 Presentation 　

1) T: Look at these two girls. Can you find out the difference between the two sentences?

Emphasize that an adjective is used with a noun or a linking verb while an adverb is used with a verb.

2) Show Ss more pictures. Help them say sentences to compare the things with comparatives and superlatives.

T helps Ss to work out the basic rules of using comparatives and superlatives.

Comparative: than, much, even, still, a little, of the two, Which/Who is …, A or B?

Superlative: the, of…, in …, Which/Who is …, A, B or C?

3) Ss look at the table and find out how to form comparatives and superlatives.

We add -er / -est to short adjectives.

(Short adjectives are adjectives of one or two syllables).

We use more/ most for long adjectives.

(Long adjectives are adjectives of three or more syllables.)

Step 6 Practice　

1)　　 Ss do Part B1, Page 13. Write the comparatives and superlatives of the adjectives.

2) Ss have a discussion and try to write down the comparatives and superlatives

of the following adjectives.

a)　 light　　　 old　　　　　 healthy　　　 　cheerful

b)　 safe　　　 　thirsty　　　 slim　　　　 　bad

c)　 bright　　 　new　　　　　 much　　　 　　bored

d)　 sad　 　 　　heavy　　　　 straight　　 　clearly

3) Ss do Part B2, P14. Complete the sentences according to the profile.

4) Ss make up a dialogue in pairs to compare people or things. They can choose any topic of the following: animals, sports, food and drinks, people in this classroom.

T provides some pictures, words, phrases and sentences which may be useful to Ss.

Step 7 Summarize

In this part, T leads Ss to revise the using of comparatives and superlatives and helps them to do more practice.

本块的重难点内容是形容词比较等级的构成和运用。形容词比较等级的构成有一定的规律性，教师引导学生进行适当的总结，对于不不规则形容词的变化，教师要着重强调，提醒学生加以记忆。

3．学习运用形容词的最高级来比较三个或超过三个的人或事。

2．学习运用形容词的比较级来比较两个人或两件事；

1．学习形容词的两种用法(1.描述人或事；2.放在系动词之后作表语)；

Step 1 Warm-up

T gives Ss 6 sentences to describe a person on the paper.

Step 2　 Presentation

1) Teach “build” and “height”.

2) Ss look at the pictures and learn more words to describe appearance. They try to find out what the words are used for--- build, height, etc.

Step 3 Practice

1) Ss do Part A, P11.

2) Ss find out more to describe--- eyes, face, etc.

3) Ss describe the people in the pictures with the words they have just learnt and each time there’s something new added in.

Step 4 Presentation

1) T gives Ss some adjectives to describe girls or boys.

Girls：beautiful, pretty, lovely, slim

Boys：handsome, good-looking, smart

Ss do Part B, P11.

2) T: Now we’ve learnt a lot of words to describe girls and boys, face and hair, etc. Let’s have a group competition. Please write down as many words as possible in the given time according to my instructions. You must listen carefully and make sure you’re writing the right words. For example, if I ask you to write some words to describe hair, you can’t write round or square, OK?

a) Would you please write some words which are used only for boys?

b) Would you please write some words which describe a person’s face?

c) Would you please write some words which describe a person’s build?

d) Would you please write some words which are used for both girls and boys?

Ss work in groups. Four groups come to the blackboard. Each time only one of them writes and the others can shout loudly to help.

Step 5 Practice

1) T: Now let’s check how well you have learnt. Could you describe the appearance of the person you know best? It’s YOUSELF!

Get some students to come to the front of the classroom to describe their own appearances, try to use as many adjectives they’ve learnt as possible.

2) T: As there’s still some time left, we can play one more game called “Twenty Questions”. Please try to guess who I am thinking about by asking me questions about his or her appearance. You can’t ask special questions and I can only answer “Yes” or “No”. If you are smart enough, you may not need to ask 20 questions! Then you can play this game with your classmates.

Ss ask questions and guess. Then the one who gets the right answer comes to the front and the other students ask him/ her questions to continue the game.

Step 6 Homework

Describe the appearance of someone you like very much. He or she may be your friend, your parent or your favorite star. Try to bring a photo of his or hers here tomorrow. Let’s see how well you can use the words you’ve learnt.
