Materials:
- Whiteboard or flip chart
- Markers
- Handouts with exercises (optional)
- Authentic materials (e.g., newspaper articles, short texts)

Warm-up (5 minutes):

ideas in a sentence and avoid repetition.

Presentation (10 minutes):

- "I admire her."
- "She has a great sense of humor."
 - "The book is on the table."

sentences.

4. Monitor and provide assistance as needed.

Production (5 minutes):
1. Ask each group to select one sentence from the authentic materials they reviewed.

2. Each group should then create a new sentence by replacing the relative pronoun in the
selected sentence with a different one (e.g., changing "who" to "that").

3. Encourage students to share their sentences with the class, explaining the changes they
made.

Wrap-up (5 minutes):
1. Summarize the main points of the lesson, emphasizing the use and function of relative
pronouns.

with exercises for students to complete.
