Teaching procedure

Time Teaching steps, teacher’s activities Students’ activities

1 minute Greet the class.
Check the attendance.
10 minutes Game: “Break the ice – 2 truths 1 lie”
Give each student a piece of paper (see below). Make 3 sentences about
themselves (2 truth – 1 lie)
using relative clause.

How to play:
Give students some time to finish their sentences.
Divide the class into 2 teams (A-B). For each round, 1
member from team A will read out loud his/her
sentences while the other team will try to guess

1
 which sentence is a lie. The team will be given 1
point for a right guess. There will be 3 rounds in
total. The team that have the highest score will be
the winner.
4 minutes 1. Lead-in
Ask students which grammatical structure is being Read the sentences.
used in the Game?
 Relative clause.
Ask students about the usage of Relative clause.
 We use relative clause to provide more
information about a person/thing Or to
combine 2 sentences that mention the same
person/thing. Answer the question.
Ask students to list out some relative pronouns.
Show students 2 sentences and ask them to combine
them using relative clause:
She introduced me to a man. She is going to marry
that man.
 She introduced me to the man whom she is going to
marry.
Or: She introduced me to the man whom she is going List out all relative pronouns.
to marry.
Introduce the new lesson:
Relative clause: Omission of Relative pronouns. Combine the sentences.

10 minutes 2. Presenting
Show the sentence again:
+ She introduced me to the man whom she is going to
marry.
Ask students to analyze the relative clause (which Answer the question.
part acts as the subject/verb)

adjective clause, they can be omitted.
Give another example:

NOTES: We cannot omit the relative pronoun in
non-defining relative clause.
My distant cousin, whom I haven’t seen for years,
came to my sister’s wedding.
