will be able to express their complains for problems with their clothes with 2 or 3 simple
sentences used in a role-play.

Alternative activity: (in case things don't work as planned):
We will work with handouts to make them match each drawing with its correct
definition; and make sentences.

8. Adaptations for Special Learners:
We will show the clothes to explain the adjectives (too tight, too loose, too short,
too long, too big, too small) to catch the attentions of the students with disabilities.
Instructional Procedures: (write all the activities in a very clear and concrete way. It is a
good idea to write the amount of time you will need for each activity.)
1. WARM-UP:
First, we will make them to watch the video without audio to make them infer what is
the scene about. (2 minutes)
Ask some questions to help them: (3 minutes)
o Who is in the video?
o Where are they?
o What happens to the woman (customer)?
o What are the problems with the jackets?
Show the video again with audio. In this way, students can realize what is the situation
about and correct themselves if they where wrong. (3 minutes)
2. SPEAKING STAGE:
Open the book on page 40 and look at the picture. Read the dialog in pairs and
compare it with the video.
Choose two pairs of students to represent the dialog in front of the class, cheer them to
do it without looking at the book. (5 minutes for all)
3. LOOK AND LISTEN:
Play the CD track and make the students follow the dialog in their books. Later, put it
again and make them repeat it. (5 minutes)
Show them the sign with the pictures, and the clothes to explain the adjectives (too
tight, too loose, too short, too long, too big, too small), and make them to repeat them.
(5 minutes)
4. WRITING PART:
Make students combine the three parts than can make a full sentence, like “It’s too
long”, or “They are too long”. Write the sentence on the board and read it and show the
illustration that represents the adjectives.
Invite the students to elaborate other sentences using the elements from the sign.
As one student to write one on his/her sentences on the board, and pick the illustration
that represents his/her sentence. Ask to the other students if it is right or wrong; make
sure they use singular and plural expressions.
After, make the students write the correct sentences in their notebooks. (8 minutes for
all)
Assessment:
Tell the students they have to write sentences in their notebook, and draw a picture for each of
the sentences to represent the adjectives.
Homework:
Send them to do other sentences, and to paste pictures according to each sentence.
