Teacher: "Good morning! I want to show you something amazing. (Shows a short video clip or image of the Burj Khalifa). What is this? Yes, it's the tallest building in the world. Today, we're talking about the most extreme things – the biggest, the smallest, the fastest. These are called superlatives. Your mission: In pairs, you have 2 minutes. Look at these three pictures (Mount Everest, Cheetah, Paedophryne amauensis frog) and predict: What record does each one hold? Write one sentence for each using 'the most...' or '-est'. Go!" | Students work in pairs. They observe the pictures and discuss their predictions. They write down three sentences (e.g., "We think Mount Everest is the highest mountain."). |
Descriptors (no points): • Actively participates in pair discussion. • Makes a logical prediction using a superlative form. • Attempts to formulate a written sentence. |
Projector/Screen, short video/image of Burj Khalifa, printed/displayed pictures of Mount Everest, a cheetah, the world's smallest frog. Timer. AI Tool: ChatGPT/DALL-E to generate and display unique "extreme" images and simple descriptions to spark curiosity. |
