Lesson Plan Content:
Comparative adjectives mix and match
Use six cards to make a question which must have a “No” answer like “Are you smaller than a kitten?” Crazy questions like “Is a diamond more intelligent than you?” are also fine. Your teacher will tell if you can or should draw something to make the meaning clear. See if your partner can change it to a question with a “Yes” answer like “Are you smaller than an elephant?”, “Are you bigger than a kitten?” or “Is a mouse smaller than a kitten?” by changing one or more cards. They can’t just move the same cards without changing one or more. Then take turns doing the same with the other person’s question.
