Part B: Special people in my family

 

  1. Ask pupils to listen to Ken’s description of the special qualities of his family members (e.g. brave, good-tempered, humorous, smart) in the textbookPrimary Longman Express Listening 4A (2005) Chapter 5 (p. 13) and discuss the examples that show these special qualities. Draw pupils’ attention to the verbs / verb phrases that are related to the special qualities and have them complete the activity sheet (LT 4.3).

 

  2.

Help pupils connect their learning and deepen their understanding of the target vocabulary by highlighting the examples used in the listening text and the previous reading text to illustrate the meaning of the same adjective.


 

  3. To consolidate the learning of the adjectives and to make English learning more fun, invite pupils to work in groups to design crossword puzzles for other groups. Demonstrate how to write clues to describe the personalities or qualities of people and how to construct the answer keys of the crossword puzzle. Have pupils design crossword puzzles on their special family members and play each other’s puzzles.

 

  4. Go through the clues written by pupils to check their understanding of the adjectives and the associated verb phrases, and provide appropriate feedback.
