Lesson Plan in Comparing Adjectives
Lesson Plan in Comparing Adjectives
written for teachers who might be looking for a lesson plan with such objective. This is also intended for those who
are preparing for their demonstration teaching. This may not be a perfect lesson plan but it may give some ideas to
add to your objective of using the degrees of comparison of both regular and irregular adjectives.
III. Procedure
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Spelling
Say: I have here several words which I would like you to spell correctly. Please listen very well so you will be able to
spell them correctly. (You may use each word in a sentence so the students will be able to spell them correctly.)
a. pretty
b. industrious
c. magnificent
d. narrow
e. steep
2. Drill
Choose the correct pronoun to complete each sentence.
d. The teacher inspired the students. She made (them, they) realize the value of education.
e. Jiggy and Juggy are coming with us. We gave (they, them) tickets for the concert.
3. Review
How many are you in the family? Who among you is the most industrious? Who is the most helpful? Who is the
clown in your family?
B. Lesson Proper
1. Presentation
Ask three of the pupils of different hair lengths to stand in front of the class. Describe the length of their hair using
the degree of comparison of regular verbs:
Example : Jane’s hair is long.
Say: The first sentence simply makes a statement. What adjective is used? Is Jane’s hair being compared to
anyone? Now, look at the second sentence. Is there any comparison made? Who are being compared? Take a look
at the third sentence, is there any comparison made?
With whose hair is Anne’s hair compared to? Do you think there are more than two students being compared? What
word is used to show comparison?
Say: Long is an adjective in the positive form, longer is an adjective in the comparative form. Longest is an adjective
in the superlative form. When two persons, places or things are compared, what form of adjective do we use? When
three or more persons, places, or thing are being compared, you use the superlative degree of the adjective. Now,
how are the superlative degree of most adjectives with one or two syllables formed?
Say: Read and study the following sentences. Observe how other adjectives with two or more syllables form their
comparative and superlative degrees. (After the students have read the sentences, ask the previous questions but
with some modifications since you are now teaching the positive, comparative and superlative degrees of irregular
adjectives.)
Provide the correct degree of comparison of adjectives in the parenthesis to complete the following sentences.
· a. shallow
· b. helpless
· c. amiable
· d. impossible
· e. graceful
3. Generalization
What are the three degrees of comparison of adjective?
When do we use the positive, comparative, superlative degree? How are the comparative and superlative degrees
formed in one-syllable adjective? What about in an adjective of two or more syllables? What do you call the degree
of adjective formed by adding -er or -est? What about when you add more or most?
Answer:
Adjectives with one syllable form their comparative degree by adding -er, for the superlative degree -est is added.
For adjectives of two or more syllables, use more or less and most or least to make comparison.
