Short description: This lesson is to help reinforce the question words (what, who, whose, which, where, when, why, how) that the students will have learned in junior high school. The first few activities are fairly basic, but the last activity can be very difficult for basic students. The lesson is based on a 90 minute period, which is different from most other schools.

Comparitive Zip file 33 kb (containing 3 Word files)

Grades: all
Topic: Comparitive
Skills developed: reading
Short description: There are two activities on the same theme. The first is a walk around the room, get people to sign your sheet, for example 'find someone who is taller' etc. The second activity gives clues about five peoples' heights, weights, ages and speed. Using the clues, the five are ranked, then questioned and answered. Any level of English can do this because as it is a problem solving activity, the English is just another obstacle.
