AUTHORS’ NOTE
March 2020

To the teachers of Myanmar:

Thank you for your dedication to your students. As teachers, our ultimate goal is for
students to be able to use the English language to solve problems, answer questions,
and have more opportunities in the future. All of the time you spend preparing lessons
and teaching aids is so important for your students’ learning and development. Thank
you for working so hard to open the minds of your students as they learn English.

How to use this book:

Every group of students is different. Read these lesson plans, and think about how
you could use similar activities or approaches in your classroom. Remember there is
always more than one way to teach the material in a student-centered way. You can
replicate these activities, or you could use these ideas to create your own plans!
Creating student-centered lessons is a process. Sometimes the activities will work
very well; sometimes you will need to adjust the activities to make them work better
for your students. Be patient with yourself & with your students. You are learning
together!

Note on spelling & vocabulary:

English has many dialects, and in different countries, you may find different spelling
and vocabulary. In the Myanmar Grade 6 English textbook, you will find British English
spelling and vocabulary. Throughout this guide, you will find both American and British
English, and we have included notes within the lesson plans to explain the differences.

For example, in American English, we drop the “u” in words like color and favorite. The
pronunciation is the same, and both British and American spellings are correct. In
British English, we ask “Have you got a pen?” In American English, we ask “Do you
have a pen?” The meaning is the same, and both phrasings are correct.

Abbreviations you’ll see in this book:


• T = Teacher
• Ss = Students
• Ex = Exercise
• SWBAT = Students will be able to
• CCQs = Comprehension Checking Questions
• Q&A = Question and Answer; Q = Question; A = Answer

• Ss can answer with Myanmar meaning. A hobby is an activity you do in your free
time, usually for fun/enjoyment.

Teach:
• When we talk about hobbies, we can use Verb -ing. For example, “my hobby is
dancing. My hobby is fishing. My hobby is singing.”
o Teacher note: Verb -ing used to talk about hobbies is a verb form that works
as a noun (called a gerund).
• T can give these examples by writing and speaking, and T should write the format on
the board: My hobby is _____(Ving)____.
• T asks a few Ss: what is your hobby?
• T writes the answers on the board and thanks the students.

Teach:
• T says: Let’s look at the hobbies in Exercise 4. Open your book to page 36. Please
read the boxes silently.

67
Unit 4

• Then T asks: which ones are the hobbies? Ss call out the hobbies in each box
(volleyball, shopping, music, climbing, play the flute, diving, badminton, guitar and
piano, basketball and football, swimming)
• T asks: what jobs do you see? (Engineer, farmers, doctors, teacher) what family
members do you see? (Two girls, two brothers, father, mother)

Practice (Exercise 4):


• T gives activity instructions:
o Now one group will get one paper with the 3 boxes, 3 names, and the same
information from the book.
o I will play the recording. Listen to Bannyar, Haymah, Thiha and Thazin talking
about themselves. Then, you will match the box with the correct speaker.
(Give definition of “speaker” = the person speaking)
o You can see in the book, on page 36, the first box is information about
Thazin.
o The three names in the bag are Haymah, Thiha and Bannyar.
• CCQs:
o When I play the recording, what will you do? Listen and match the names
with the information
o How many speaker names will you match? 3
• T plays recording 2 times, and moves around the classroom to check answers.
• When everyone finishes, T asks the class, who is the speaker for box 1? Box 2? Box
3?
• Ss write speaker names in their textbook for Exercise 4.

Practice (Exercise 5):


• T says: now look at Exercise 5. Read the hobbies silently, then close your book.
• T gives definition of traveling if Ss don’t know
• T gives activity instructions:
o 1 group gets 1 bag and 1 paper
o On the paper, you see the same chart as the textbook
o There are 4 hobbies on the chart and 4 names in the bag
o Listen to the recording again and match the speaker names with the correct
hobby
• CCQs:
o 1 group, how many papers? 1
o 1 group, how many names? 4
o What will you do with the names? Match the name with the correct hobby
o When you finish, what do you do? Raise your hand silently
• After listening to the recording one time and students finish the chart, T asks each
group for one answer. Students answer with the speaker’s name. T should write
question & answer format on the board
o Q: whose hobby is _(hobby)_?
o A: _(Hobby)_ is _(name)’s_ hobby.
• T asks:
o Whose hobby is playing basketball?
o Whose hobby is traveling?
o Whose hobby is playing the guitar?
o Whose hobby is listening to K-Pop Music?

Review:
• Let’s review what we learned about each person.

68
Unit 4

• T asks:
o Who are the four speakers?
o What is Thazin’s hobby?
o What is Bannyar’s hobby?
o What is Thiha’s hobby?
o What is Haymah’s hobby?
• Additional questions:
o Whose parents are farmers? Whose parents are both doctors?

3. Ex 1
4. Game
5. Ex 2
6. Review

Intro:
• “Ss, let’s remember the activities we learned in Lesson 1. Tell me what activity I’m
doing.”
• T does motions for activities in Lesson 1 Exercises 1+2 and Ss call out the English
words.

Teach:
• Read each vocabulary word in the box three times. T does a motion for each word at
the same time as reading. Ss repeat the words and motions after the teacher.
• T does motions, S call out words. Then T calls out words and Ss do the motions.

Practice (Ex 1):


• Then, T asks students to look at Exercise 1 and think about the motions. Match the
pictures with the right word; use the motions to help you match. When you finish,
raise your hand silently.
• When Ss finish, T asks each group for one answer. T can also provide Myanmar
explanation for each word when reviewing the answers. (yachting is spending time
on a nice boat and relaxing)

Practice (Game):
• Separate the class into 3 groups.
o Materials: T has a bowl of papers in the front. Each paper has one sport.
• T says:
o “We will have 3 groups. One student from each group will come to the front of
the room. They will choose ONE activity from the bowl. The three students
will do the motion together. In your group, if you know the answer, raise your
hands silently. I will choose the fastest group to answer. The first correct
group gets one point.”
o As the T explains, T should use hand motions and demonstrations to show
the meaning of their words.
• T demonstrates coming to the front and acting as a student. T demonstrates knowing
the answer and raising their hand silently.

75
Unit 4

• CCQs:
o How many students will come to the front? 3
o How many papers will they choose? 1
o What will the 3 students do? Do the motion for the sport (act out the sport)
o If you know the answer, what will you do? Raise your hand silently
o Can you scream or shout the answer? No!
• During the game, make sure that the three students are girls and boys, not only 3
boys or 3 girls. Each time, there should be new students in the front. This game
allows 24 students to do the motions in the front.
• Play until all 8 sports are finished.

Teach/Practice (Exercise 2):


• T explains the task for Exercise 2, referencing the Review 1 activity.
o Note: this explanation is done in Myanmar.
• T has students look at #1 together and asks the students: why is the answer golf?
• Ss answer that golf is not a sport involving water.
• Now, Ss will work together in their small groups to finish 2-5. For each answer, they
should think about why that’s the answer. When they finish, they should raise their
hands.
• T reviews answers with the class by asking each group for one answer, and then
asking why they chose that answer
• Explanations:
o 1. Golf is a sport without water
o 2. Weightlifting is a sport without balls
o 3. A potato is not a fruit
o 4. Chicken is not seafood
o 5. A pancake is not a drink

Review:
• T says: “Let’s review the new sports we learned today. I will say a number from
Exercise 1. Look in your book for that number, then say the sport and do the motion.
For example, if you hear number one, you will say WEIGHTLIFTING and do the
motion.” (T demonstrates)
• Teacher calls out the numbers from Ex 1 in a random order: 2, 5, 7, 1, 3, 6, 4

Period 2
Unit 4 Lesson 3 Period 2 — Ex 3 + Grammar Ex 1-2

Goals:

2. Useful Language
3. Practice
4. Adverbs
5. Ex 1
6. Review & Homework

76
Unit 4

Intro (Ex 3):


• Ss, please open your book to page 40. Look at Exercise 3. Let’s read the sports and
hobbies together. (T reads and does motions for each word. T gives Myanmar
definition of traveling)
• Now Ss please think about each activity. Do you love, like, dislike, or hate it? Put a
tick in the box for your feeling about each activity. When you finish, raise your hand.

Teach (Useful Language):


• T writes on the board this script (or hangs poster)
o A: I like/love/dislike/hate _(activity)_. What about you?
o B (if they have the same opinion as A): Me too / So do I
o B (if they have a different opinion): I _(verb)_ _(activity A said)_.
o A: I don’t like_(activity)_. What about you?
o B (if they have the same opinion as A): Me neither / Neither do I
o B (if they have a different opinion): I _(verb)_ _(activity A said)_.
• T explains the phrases:
o What about you = asking a person to give their answer to the same
question/topic
o Me too = So do I = it is the same for me (can be used when first speaker’s
statement is affirmative OR negative)
o Me neither = neither do I = it is the same for me (ONLY when first speaker’s
statement is NEGATIVE)

Practice (Useful Language):


• Students choose one thing they like and one thing they don’t like.
• One row is A and one row is B
• A and B practice the conversation with the two things A chose
• Then the students change roles. B becomes A and the students practice the
conversation with the two things B chose

Teach (Grammar: Adverbs of Frequency):


• T has students use their rulers to create a box around the grammar section and add
lines in between each example. When they finish the students should have created 6
rows in the box.
• T then uses English and Myanmar to explain the Myanmar equivalent of each
English adverb. Students can add Myanmar meanings to their textbook. T highlights
that remembering the percentages for each word is important for the next activity.
• Teacher can call out percentages in English and students respond with the correct
adverb.
o For example: T says “100% of the time” and S respond “always”
• Then T reviews the sentence structure.
o Depending on the verbs in the sentence, the frequency adverbs can be in
different places. This is where you usually find them:
§ After subject, before the main verb (I always go to school.)
§ After the verb to be (I am never late to school.)
§ After the auxiliary verb, before the action verb (I can usually finish my
homework quickly.)

77
Unit 4

Practice (Grammar Ex 1):


• Students, work in your groups to complete exercise 1. Use the percentages and
choose one adverb that matches the percentage to put in the sentence. When you
finish, practice reading the sentences as group quietly

Review:
• Each group reads one sentence from Exercise 1.
• T explains homework.

Homework (Grammer Ex 2):


• Write two sentences with usually and two sentences with never.
• You will write about the foods you eat and the activities you do.
o I usually (verb) (activity)
§ I usually eat (food)
§ I never (verb) (activity)
§ I never eat (food)

LESSON 4
Period 1
Unit 4 Lesson 4 Period 1 Ex 1-4

Goals:
• SWBAT state their likes and dislikes about activities.
• SWBAT write sentences using frequency adverbs to state how often they do the
activity.

Intro/Practice (Ex 1):


• “Today we will write sentences about activities using adverbs of frequency. First let’s
write sentences about our activity likes and dislikes.”
• T does motions for love like dislike hate, Ss say the correct verb
• T says: Ss, think about how you feel about each activity. Then draw a heart/thumbs
up/thumbs down/cross for each activity.

Practice (Ex 2):


• T writes on the board:
o Q: how do you feel about _____?
o A: I ____ it. What about you?
• T will ask the question. The Ss will give their answers one by one in their group.
When each student in the group has finished saying their answer, the group raises
their hands silently.
• T should demonstrate what each student should say. T can demonstrate by
pretending to be the students in a group. T can demonstrate with *fishing*
• When all groups are finished, T asks the next question.
• Do this activity four times:
o How do you feel about…
§ Playing basketball
§ Swimming
§ Cycling
§ Dancing

78
Unit 4

• CCQs:
o Who will ask the question? The teacher
o Will you give your answer to the class? No
o Who will you give you answer to? My group
o In your group, how do you answer? My mother likes...is that ok? No
o Why? Use I as the subject. Talk about your feeling.
o After each student in your group finishes speaking, what do you do? Raise
your hands silently and wait

Teach/Practice (Ex 3):


• Before students answer the last question for Ex 2, T tells students: when you finish
answering this question. Write 3 sentences about your activity feelings in Ex 3
Column A.
• You can use any activity from Ex 1. Remember to use I + verb + activity.

Teach (Ex 3):


• Look at Ex 1. Let’s decide: go/do/play.
• T asks students for each answer, group by group. T writes on the board. Ss will need
these verb phrases for Exercise 3 Column B
o 1. Go fishing
o 2. Play basketball
o 3. Play the piano
o 4. Go swimming
o 5. Play the flute
o 6. Go cycling
o 7. Do weightlifting
o 8. Dance (Teacher note: you can use “go dancing” if you are going to a
dance/nightclub)
• T explains sentence structure for column B. Ss write structure under Column B.
o Subject + frequency adverb + main verb + activity/object
o Examples: I never dance. I usually go swimming. I rarely play the piano. I
sometimes play the flute.
o Write each example on the board and CCQ the students about the parts of
the sentence:
§ What is the subject
§ What is the adverb
§ What is the activity
§ What is the main verb
o Reminder: you cannot use Ving after the frequency adverb without a main
verb (NOT OK: I sometimes playing the flute.)

Practice (Ex 3):


• Change your sentences in column A to sentences in column B
• In column B, use the same activities
• Use the new sentence structure with frequency adverbs and main verb + activity. We
will use action verbs, not feeling verbs.
• When you finish, raise your hand
• CCQs:
o For column B, what activities will you write about? Same as column A
o In column B, what sentence structure do you use? Subject + frequency
adverb + main verb + activity/object
o I always playing football. Is that ok? No

79
Unit 4

o Why? Main verb is play. I always play football.

Practice (Ex 4):


• In your group, one student reads column A #1 and column B #1. Then the next
student does the same. When all finish #1, then start with #2.
• When students in the group finish reading all 3 pairs, they should write the 6
sentences in their Exercise books. If they don’t finish writing, they can finish writing
the sentences in their Exercise books for homework.

Review:
• T can ask each group to read one sentence from column B together.
• T writes one sentence on the board (I sometimes go swimming) and asks students
about the papers of the sentence:
o What is the subject?
o What is the adverb?
o What is the activity?
o What is the main verb?

T reviews the use of +s/+es when the subject is she/he/it
o Affirmative —> Su Su ____ (like) reading books.

95
Unit 5

o Negative —->
o Interrogative —->
• T asks: what is the correct form for the affirmative sentence?
o Likes, because the subject is Su Su (she)
• T explains negative form:
o Look at the subject
o If the subject is she/he/it we use doesn’t + infinitive for negative
o If the subject is I/you/we/they, we use don’t + infinitive for negative
o Remember: doesn’t = does not. Don’t = do not
• T writes the negative sentence on the board
o Su Su doesn’t like reading books.
• T explains interrogative form:
o Do/does + Subject + V + etc. + ?
o Students, look at the subject. What is the pronoun for Su Su? She, so we will
use… do or does? We will use Does
o Now follow the sentence structure: Do/does + Subject + V + etc. + ?
o T writes on the board: Does Su Su like reading books?

Practice (Ex 3)
• T writes 5 sentences on the board. One group, one paper. On the paper, the
students write the affirmative sentence, the negative sentence, and the interrogative
sentence using the same subject and main verb.
• Students work together to write the sentences in their groups.

do. Let’s answer this question.
o T asks students, are you a football player?
o Ss will answer either “Yes, I am” OR “no, I’m not”

Practice (Ex 4)
• One group, one bag. In the bag there are 4 colors for 4 different questions. Use the
words to make 4 sentences. One sentence is only one color. You will have one red,
one green, one blue, and one purple sentence when you finish. When you finish,
write the four questions in your exercise book. Then answer each question with a
short answer.

• T writes “Form” on the top of the board.
• “First, I will draw a form on the board. Then, I will give you some information. After
you listen to the information, we will fill out the form.”
• T draws form on the board:

97
Unit 5

Form:
Name:
Age:
Birthday:
Nationality:
Occupation:
Address:
City:

• T gives information by speaking (T includes their personal information…


name/age/etc. T can also use a different person’s information.)
o For example: “My name is Daw Su Su. I live in Dawei. I am Myanmar. I was
born on the 2nd of March, 1967. I am 52 years old. I am a teacher. I live at
No. 35 Padauk Street. I like reading books and watching TV. I have one
daughter and one son. My daughter is an engineer and my son is a taxi
driver.”
o T repeats this information 2x.

• After the T gives the information 2x, the T asks each group for an answer.
o What is the person’s name? Age? Birthday? Nationality? address?
o What city do they live in?
o What family members does the person have? What are their occupations?
• T writes the group answers to fill out the form on the board.

Teach:
• T gives more explanation in Myanmar about the form. We use forms when we
register for school, apply for jobs, go to the doctor, or stay at a hotel. When you get
older, you will fill out forms for many different reasons.
• T shows how the answers are very short; just the most important information, not
sentences.
• “Students, read the paragraphs silently and underline the words you don’t know”
• After Ss finish reading, T reviews new vocabulary on the board. Ss can write the
Myanmar meaning in their textbooks.
• Vocabulary to teach:
o Nouns:
§ Housewife
§ Kindergarten = KG
§ Science
§ Mathematics
§ Mark / marks
§ Subject / subjects
§ Test / tests = exam / exams
§ Contact number = phone number
§ Occupation = job
§ Date of birth = birthday
o Verb phrases:
§ (was/were) born
§ Build bridges
o Adjectives:
§ Elder = older
§ younger

98
Unit 5

Practice (Ex 1a):


• One group, one form (write the form fields from Ex 1a on an A4 paper)
• Work together to read the paragraph again, and complete the form as a group.
Everyone must write. One student, one answer.
• Number 1: read again. Number 2: complete the form
• When you finish, write the answers in your textbook
• CCQs:
o One group, how many forms?
o What will you do first? Read the paragraph again
o What will you do second? Complete the form
o Will only one student write? No! One student, one answer.
o When you finish, what will you do? Write the answers in your textbook
• T reviews the answers by asking each group for one answer. Group stands and says
the answer together.

• T reviews answers by asking the question and students give the answer.
• T can explain “what’s his father?” = “what does his father do?” = “what is his father’s
occupation?”
o In American English, you usually do not ask “what’s his father?”
o You would use do: “What does his father do?”
o Or: “What is his father’s job?” / “What is his father’s occupation?”

Class Practice (Ex 1c):


• Half of the class is A, half of the class is B.
• Group A asks the questions, and group B gives the answers. Practice 1-5.
• Then change roles. Group B asks the questions, and group A gives the answers.

Group/Pair Practice (Ex 1c):


• In one group, half of the students are A, half of the students are B. (Teacher can also
put the students in pairs; a pair = group of 2)
• In groups/pairs, the students practice asking & answering the questions

Review:
• T asks the class questions about the form. Ss give answers
• T can ask the questions in a different order from the form to keep students listening
to the questions
• Questions about the form:
o What is his name?

have for eating and drinking. This question is different from how much because the
customer wants to eat/drink these things.
• T is the customer. Ss are the waiter. T asks each group a question with two items. Ss
group answers with the total price (adding the prices of two things). T demonstrates
two examples.

#6, #8, and #10 again.

Practice (Ex 5b):


• T checks the answers by asking each group to read the sentences in order. For
example, group #2 please read (1), group #4 please read (2), etc.
• T asks students, why is it 1,000 Kyats?
• If Ss don’t know, Tcan ask, what food and drinks will the customer have?
• T then tells the students to look for those three things on the menu and add the
prices.
• Then T asks again, why is it 1,000 Kyats?

“eat” → have = eat, so you will match eat
(green) with have (orange)
• When you finish, raise your hand silently
• CCQs:
o What’s in the bag? 10 words
o What colors are the words? Green
and orange
o How many green words? 5
o How many orange words? 5
o What will you do with the words?
Match them
o Can you match “eat” with “rice”? No
o Why? Because the meaning is not the same

• When a group finishes, T checks their work, and Ss write in answers in 3b. They
should look at the question & the first letter of the answer, and then write the correct
word.
• When all groups are finished, T reviews each answer and explains in Myanmar. Ss
write Myanmar meaning in their textbooks.
o Bread has carbohydrates. = Bread contains carbohydrates.
o I always have bread for breakfast. = I always eat bread for breakfast.
• Note: when preparing the cards, T can write the Myanmar meaning of the green
words on the back to help students complete the activity

Practice (3c preparation):


• One group, one T chart. (T shows the chart to
the class)
• “On the T chart, what do you see?” → “Kaythi
and Zaw Naing”
• “What do you think you will write?” → Ss call
out “eat” / “food” Yes, correct!
• On the chart, write all of the food + drinks
Kaythi and Zaw Naing had for breakfast and
lunch.
• When you finish, raise your hand and look at
the board.

112
Unit 6

• As students work, T writes on the board:


o Circle the meat and fish.
o Underline the vegetables and fruit.
o Star the other foods.
• When a group finishes, T checks to see if they wrote all the foods, and then directs
the Ss to read the board. T reviews the instructions quickly with the students.
• When Ss finish the circle/underline/star activity, their chart should look like this:

• When groups finish, the T asks the Ss to write the answers into the chart for 3c on
page 55.

Review:
• T draws the chart on the board and asks each group a different question about the
chart. T writes the Ss’ answers in the chart.
o What meat and fish did Kaythi have?
o What meat and fish did Zaw Naing have?
o What vegetables and fruit did Kaythi have?
o What vegetables and fruit did Zaw Naing have?
o What other things did Kaythi have?
o What other things did Zaw Naing have?

Homework:
• Ss draw a chart in their exercise book. They write what foods and drinks they had
yesterday.
• The chart should look like this:

Student Name Meat & fish Vegetables & fruit Other foods & drinks

Note: for groups that finish the 3c activities very quickly in class, they can do the homework
after they finish writing the answers in their textbook.

113
Unit 6

LESSON 3
Period 1
Unit 6 Lesson 3 Period 1 — Exercise 1

Goals:
• SWBAT recognize different countable and uncountable nouns

Intro:
• T shows pencils, books, and rulers to demonstrate countable nouns.
o T holds up one pencil: how many pencils?
o Ss answer: 1!
o T holds up 3 pencils: how many pencils?
o Ss answer: 3!
• T can repeat with books & rulers.
• T explains: pencils, books, and rulers are countable nouns.

Teach:
• T write on the board Myanmar meaning for countable and uncountable.
• T can show water/coffee or another liquid as an example of uncountable.
• T gives explanation in Myanmar.

Class Practice (Ex 1):


• Students, look at Ex 1
• Let’s read the food items and decide, countable or uncountable
o If you think the word is countable, hold up your hand like a C
o If you think the word is uncountable, hold up your hand like a U
• T reads each word and Ss hold up hands to show C or U
• Then T gives the correct answer, and asks the students “why?”
• Ss can give explanation for countable or uncountable

114
Unit 6

Countable (C) Uncountable (U)

• Banana • Beef
• Bar • Broccoli
• Body • Butter
• Bone • Chicken
• Burger • Meat
• Calorie • Milk
• Egg • Oil
• Noodle (note: we always use the plural “noodles”) • Protein
• Omelette • Rice
• Orange • Skin
• Sandwich • Sugar
• Vegetable • Vitamin K (any specific
• Vitamin vitamin is uncountable)

Note: The teachers’ guide is not correct. Protein is


uncountable when we use it to talk about food. In For example,
chemistry, it is countable. Vegetables have a lot of
vitamins. (C)
Note: Vitamin is countable, unless we are talking about a Broccoli has a lot of vitamin K.
specific vitamin. For example, “vitamin K” is uncountable. (U)

• Teacher Note: some nouns can be countable AND


uncountable, such as chocolate/chocolates,
cabbage/cabbages

Group Practice:
• 1 uncountable/countable worksheet, 3-4 students
• T explains how to do the first 3 sections on the
worksheet
o T can provide Myanmar meanings for words
Ss don’t know
o T can write each section on the board and
Ss can complete the activities in their
notebooks if printing isn’t possible
o Ss do NOT complete the last activity
• When students finish, they raise their hands silently
and T checks their work.

Review:
• T asks each group to give an answer for part of the
worksheet
o Group 1, what are the countable nouns?
o Group 2, what are the uncountable noun?
o Group 3, what countable noun did you circle in box 1?
o Group 4, what countable noun did you circle in box 2?
o Group 5, what countable noun did you circle in box 3?
o Group 6, what countable noun did you circle in box 4?
o Group 1, what uncountable noun did you circle in box 1?
o Group 2, what uncountable noun did you circle in box 2?
o Group 3, what uncountable noun did you circle in box 3?

115
Unit 6

o Group 4, what uncountable noun did you circle in box 4?


• Do NOT complete the last section of the worksheet

Period 2
Unit 6 Lesson 3 Period 2 — Exercise 2

Goals:
• SWBAT add a/an in sentences where there is a singular countable noun

Intro:
• T asks in Myanmar, what are countable nouns? What are uncountable nouns? Ss
give meaning in Myanmar
• T asks students to think of countable and uncountable nouns
• T asks each group for one countable noun and one uncountable noun
• T writes two lists on the board

Teach (Ex 2):


• Today we will practice countable and uncountable nouns in sentences
• Let’s look at an example.
o T writes example on the board: Win Ko had boiled egg for lunch.
o Ss, what is the food you see in the sentence? Egg!
§ Great, boiled is the adjective, so together the food is “boiled egg”
o Is boiled egg countable or uncountable? Countable!
o Is boiled egg singular or plural? Singular!
• Grammar Rules:
o When you see a SINGULAR COUNTABLE noun in a sentence, you must put
a/an/the before the word. In this exercise, we will practice a/an
§ We use “an” before words that start with vowel sounds (egg, omelette,
oil, etc.)
§ We use “a” before words that start with consonant sounds
o When you see an UNCOUNTABLE noun in a sentence, you CANNOT put
a/an before the word.
§ If you see a/an before an uncountable noun, take it out of the
sentence!!
§ Ex: I had a fish curry for lunch.
• Let’s look at the sentence again… boiled egg is Countable or Uncountable? Boiled
egg is singular or plural?
• It’s singular and countable, so what will we add?
o We will add “a” before boiled
o Why not “an”? Because boiled started with a B sound
• T writes correct sentence on the board
o Win Ko had a boiled egg for lunch.

Class Practice (Ex 2):


• T works through 1-5 with the class, asking students:
o What nouns do you see in the sentence?
o Is it countable or uncountable?
§ If uncountable, no change!
o If countable, is it singular?
o If countable + singular, do we add a or an?

116
Unit 6

• T should write one sentence on the board. Then ask the questions above. Ss
answer, and T then writes the correct sentence on the board.
• Ss should write the answers in their notebook.

1. Sandwich is countable and singular, so “a sandwich”


2. Banana is countable and singular, so “a banana”; lunch is uncountable, so no
change
3. Omega 3 fatty acids are countable and plural, so no change; skin is uncountable, so
no change
4. Chicken curry is uncountable, so no change
5. Water is uncountable, so no change

• Note: T should explain the idea of compound foods (two food words together = one
food) — for example, chicken curry

Group Practice (Ex 2):


• In groups, students complete 6-10 with these steps:
1. Find the nouns
2. Decide if nouns are countable or uncountable
3. If countable & singular, add a or an
4. If countable & plural, no change
5. If uncountable, no change

• When students finish, they can complete the last section of the worksheet from
Period 1. For the worksheet, if they see an uncountable noun with a/an, they should
take out a/an.
• T can write the 5 sentences on the board for students to correct in their notebooks
1. I had apple and banana for breakfast.
2. My sister never eats a chicken curry or a fish soup.
3. My dad made me fried egg with a bread.
4. We bought a sugar and rice at the shop.
5. I like to eat coconut noodles.

Answers:

• After students finish, T can ask students to share their answers and explain why.

Book Explanations (pg. 56, Ex 2, 6-10)


6. Fried rice is uncountable, so no change. Banana is countable and singular so “a banana”

117
Unit 6

7. Chicken burger is countable and singular, so “a chicken burger.” Milk is uncountable, so


no change. Lunch is uncountable so no change.
8. Fish is uncountable, so no change
9. Omelette is countable and singular, so “an omelette”; breakfast is uncountable so no
change
10. Broccoli is uncountable so no change. Vitamin K is uncountable so no change.

Worksheet Explanations
1. Apple is singular and countable, so “an apple.” Banana is singular and countable, so
“a banana”
2. Chicken curry and fish soup are both uncountable, so no “a”
3. Fried egg is singular and countable so “a fried egg.” Bread is uncountable, so no “a”
4. Sugar is uncountable, so no “a.” Rice is uncountable, so no change.
5. Coconut noodles is countable and plural, so no change.

Review:
• T asks students in Myanmar what they learned today about uncountable and
countable nouns in sentences
• When we see a singular countable noun in a sentence, it needs to have a/an (or the).
When we see an uncountable noun in a sentence, it cannot have a/an before it.

Period 3
Unit 6 Lesson 3 Period 3 — Exercise 3

Goals:
• SWBAT decide if they should use the singular or plural form of the noun in a
sentence

Intro:
• Students, help me fix some sentences!
• T writes 3 sentences on the board:
o I love rice with a chicken.
o I had sandwich for breakfast.
o My sister eats banana with a milk every day.
• T asks students how to change each sentence and why.
o I love rice with a chicken. Chicken is uncountable so no “a.”
o I had a sandwich for breakfast. Sandwich is countable + singular so we need
“a”
o My sister eats a banana with a milk every day. Banana is countable and
singular so we need an “a.” Milk is uncountable so no “a”

Teach (Ex 3):


• Now we will practice using the singular or plural form of nouns in different
sentences.

118
Unit 6

• For example,
o We sometimes have our _____ at a
restaurant. (breakfast / breakfasts)
o Do we use breakfast or breakfasts?
• Let’s learn how to decide.
• T draws a diagram on the board. Ss copy into their
notebooks and T explains.

• If the noun is uncountable, we always use the


singular form. Uncountable nouns do NOT have
plural forms.
• If the noun is countable, we need to look at the
sentence.
o If you see a/an/one, use singular
o If you see a number greater than 1
(Example: I have two cats), use plural
o If you see nothing before the noun
(Example: I like dumplings), use plural
o If you see the before the noun, think about
the meaning of the sentence.
• Use this chart to help you answer our practice questions today. The first thing you
should do is look at the noun and decide, countable or uncountable.
o Back to our example: is breakfast countable or uncountable?
o Uncountable! So will we use singular or plural?
o The chart says uncountable —> singular, so our sentence will be: we
sometimes have our breakfast at a restaurant.
• Let’s try another example:
o Eating carrots is good for the ____. (eye / eyes)
§ Is eye countable or uncountable? Countable
• Do we see a/an/one? No
• Do we see a number? No
• Do we see nothing? No
• Do we see the? Yes
o Let’s think about the meaning. Do you think this
sentence is referring to only one eye? No, it’s referring
to both eyes, so will we use singular or plural? Plural
o Eating carrots is good for the eyes.

Group Practice (Ex 3):


• One group, one paper (Or T can write 10 sentences on the board)
• First, look at the nouns on the right side, and decide countable or uncountable
o If uncountable, will you use singular or plural? SINGULAR! You write the
singular form in each sentence.
o If countable, what will you do? Look at the sentence and decide singular or
plural from what you see in the sentence. Use the chart! Then write the
correct form in the sentence.

119
Unit 6

• When you finish, work on Exercise 3 in your textbook.


o Circle the correct form of the word.
• When you finish the paper and Exercise 3, raise your hand

• T moves around the classroom to offer help. When all groups finish the paper, T can
call attention and review answers. T should ask each group for the answer and then
ask their reason.
1. Milk - uncountable > singular
2. Dessert - countable, “a” so singular
3. Menu - countable, “a” so singular
4. Drinks - countable, nothing before the blank so plural
5. Butter - uncountable > singular
6. Sugar - uncountable > singular
7. Water - uncountable > singular
8. Salt - uncountable > singular
9. Rice - uncountable > singular
10. Coffee - uncountable > singular

• Then, as a class, T can work through Ex 3 by asking two questions for each #.
o Is the noun countable or uncountable?
o What do we see before the noun?

Explanations + Answers:
1. Benefit is countable + nothing before, so plural = benefits
2. Bone is countable + “the” means we need to think about the sentence. It’s referring to
all of our bones in our body, so plural = bones
3. Carbohydrate is countable + nothing before, so plural = carbohydrates
4. Dessert is countable + “the” means we need to think about the sentence. It’s referring
to more than one dessert on a menu, so plural = desserts
5. Coconut noodle is countable + nothing before, so plural = coconut noodles
6. Nutrient is countable + nothing before, so plural = nutrients

120
Unit 6

7. Rice is uncountable, so singular = rice


8. Sandwich is countable and singular, so we need “a” = a sandwich
9. Coffee is uncountable, so singular = coffee
10. Bread is uncountable, so singular = bread

Review:
• T writes 3 sentences on the board.
• Now let’s fix 3 sentences again:
o I love _____ with chicken. Rice / rices
o I had a ______ for breakfast. Sandwich / sandwiches
o My sister eats ______ every day. Banana / bananas
• T asks students for the answers and the reasoning by using the chart.
o Rice > uncountable > singular (rice)
o Sandwich > countable > a ___ > singular (sandwich)
o Banana > countable > nothing > plural (bananas)

Period 4
Unit 6 Lesson 3 Period 4 — Exercises 4a+b

Goals:
• SWBAT use measure words to count uncountable nouns
• SWBAT match measure phrases with pictures of food items

Intro:
• Do you remember countable and uncountable nouns?
o Ss give definition in Myanmar
• Tell me some examples of countable nouns.
o Bananas, apples, carrots
• Can we use the plural (s/es) with countable nouns? Yes
o Yes, we can use singular if it’s only one, or plural if it’s more than one.
• Tell me some examples of uncountable nouns.
o Rice, water, oil, bread
• Can we use the plural with uncountable nouns? No
o No, we only use singular with uncountable nouns.
• So today we will learn how we can count uncountable nouns. We will learn measure
words.

Teach (Ex 4):


• T writes chart below on the board to explain measure words.
• T explains the different groups in Myanmar.

121
Unit 6

• For rice/noodles/porridge/curry:
o Bowl / bowls
o Plate / plates
o Serving / Servings

• T explains that when using the measures, we use this format:


o (Number) (measure) of (noun)
o Examples:
§ 2 bottles of oil
§ 1 hand of bananas
§ 2 bowls of rice

Group Practice (worksheet):


• One group, one paper
• 12 food items, and 12 measure phrases
• Draw a line to match the measure with the picture
• CCQs:
o How many measures? 12
o How many food items? 12
o What will you do? Match the measures and
the food items
o How will you match them? Draw lines
• When you finish raise your hand.

Practice (Ex 4a+b):


• While students complete the worksheet, T can write
instructions in Myanmar on the board. Then T walks
around to each group and tells them to complete 4a +
b when they finish the worksheet.
o When you finish the worksheet, read column A and column B in Ex 4a
§ Then, draw lines to match column A and column B.

122
Unit 6

o You can look at the pictures in Ex 4b to help


you
o When you finish, write the measure phrase
under each picture in Ex 4b

Extra Practice for Fast Workers:


• When students finish Ex 4a+b, they can write the 12
phrases from the worksheet in their notebooks and
draw small pictures next to the phrase.

Review:
• Each group reads one answer from Ex 4b.
• For example, “group 5, please read number 1,”
“group 2, please read number 2,” etc.

LESSON 4
Period 1
Unit 6 Lesson 4 Period 1 – Vocabulary Exercise 1; Writing Exercises 1-2b

Goals:
• SWBAT write a shopping list using countable and uncountable nouns and the
quantity of each they want to buy.
• SWBAT use words for weight/quantity of uncountable nouns, such as
viss/tical/gram/kilogram for solids and liter/milliliter/bottles/cups for liquids.

Intro (Writing, Ex 1):


• Students, today we will write a shopping list. Do you remember when we wrote a
shopping list before? In Unit 3 we made a shopping list, and asked where we can
buy the things. Now we will make a shopping list again, but with the amount of what
we want to buy. (amount = how much or how many)
• T writes on the board the 4 words from Writing Ex 1: meal, shopping, lunch, old
• T asks each group, “what does ___ mean?” (Example: what does old mean?)
• Ss can answer with Myanmar translation. T provides help if students don’t know.
• Teacher notes:
o Old: we use old as in “the book is very old.” Or to talk about age as in “I am
10 years old.”
o Meal: breakfast, lunch, or dinner (one of the main times we eat each day,
usually when it’s more than a small snack)
o T should ask the students if the nouns are countable/uncountable
§ Meal: countable
§ Lunch: uncountable or countable (depends on context)

• Now, Ss, work in groups to complete Writing Exercise 1 with the words on the
board/in the box in the textbook
• When you finish, raise your hand silently
• T should move around the room, helping students and monitoring their work
• When Ss finish, T asks each group to read one sentence. Remind students that a
sentence ends with a full stop.
o I am Thawdar Lin.

123
Unit 6

o I will be twelve years old tomorrow.


o Mum is planning to cook a delicious meal for my birthday party.
§ Note: this sentence has to use meal because meal cannot be used
correctly in the other blanks.
o I have invited five friends to my house for lunch.
§ Note: in English, meal is countable, so we cannot use meal by itself
after “for” — there is no “a” or “the”; lunch can be countable and
uncountable, so we can use lunch after “for” with no a/the/one
o Mum asked me to make a shopping list of the items we need.

Teach (Vocab Ex 1): ~Discuss weight in Myanmar & give English vocabulary~
• Ss, when you go to the market, how do you say how much chicken you want to buy?
Can you say “I want to buy 5 chickens”? No!
• T explains in Myanmar the way we use weight systems to talk about uncountable
and countable nouns when we buy things. We use different measures for solids and
liquids.
o Solids: small shops in local markets — tical (kyattha), viss (peitha); big shops
in local markets and supermarkets — grams, kilograms
§ T can ask students: what do we measure in ticals? What do we
measure in viss?
• 50 ticals of potatos
• 2 viss of chicken
§ What do we measure in grams? Spices, powders
§ What do we measure in kilograms? Chicken, meat, fish
o Liquids: milliliters, liters; we also use words like bottle/jug to buy oil, water,
etc.
• T gives some examples of items on the board. T asks students what amount +
measurement we can give to the items. Each groups gives an answer for one item
(examples below)
o Peanut oil (2 liters) or (1 bottle)
o Sugar (1 packet) or (250 grams)
o Tomatoes (50 ticals) or (10 tomatoes)
o Fish (2 viss)

Practice (Writing Ex 2a):


• Ss, look at Exercise 2a on page 58.
• T asks students about each number (1. Meat and fish, can you give me some
examples?) Ss call out examples:
o Meat & fish: beef, chicken, pork, mutton, salmon, sardines
o Vegetables: string beans, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots
o Fruits: apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries

124
Unit 6

o Groceries: sugar, oil, butter, salt, chili powder, ginger,

rice
• Now in your groups, you will get one paper.
• On the paper, you will write a shopping list.
• Write 3 items for each category (3 items for meat and fish, 3 items for fruit, etc.)
• Remember: item = thing
• After you write the items, write how much or how many you will buy…
o For example: apples / 4, oil / 2 bottles, pork / 2 viss
o Remember: if the noun is uncountable, you cannot write “water / 3” we need a
measurement word. For example: “Water / 2 liters” or “water / 4 bottles”
o Remember if the noun is countable, you can use a number “bananas / 5
bananas” or a measure word “bananas / 2 hands”
• When you finish, raise your hand silently
• CCQs
o What will you do with your paper? Write a shopping list
o For each category, how many items will you write? 3
o After you write the items, what will you write? How much/how many for each
item
o If I want to buy milk, can I write “1 milk”? No
o Why? Milk is uncountable
o What can I write for milk? 2 liters, 1 bottle, etc.
o If I want to buy apples, can I write 5 apples? Yes
o Why? Apples is countable
o Can I write 2 kilograms of apples? Yes
o Why? For countable nouns, you can use numbers OR measure words; both
are ok
o When you finish, what will you do? Raise my hand silently
• When students finish, T checks the group’s work, and then each student chooses
one item from each category to write in the textbook. for Ex 2a

Practice (Ex 2b):


• When students finish filling in their textbook for 2a, they can write the full phrases in
their Exercise books, for example:
o One viss of chicken
o 50 ticals of potatoes
o 2 apples
o 1 sack of rice

125
Unit 6

• After they write out the phrases, students practice reading the phrases to their group
members

Review:
• T asks each group to share 2 things they will buy with the amount, for example: 2
viss of chicken and 5 apples
• Students in the group should speak together when they answer
• If you have many groups in your class, each group can share one thing

Period 2
Unit 6 Lesson 4 Period 2 — Exercises 3+4

Goals:
• SWBAT use How much/How many to ask questions about food items.
• SWBAT decide if they should use how much or how many based on if the noun is
uncountable (how much) or countable (how many)

Intro:
• Today we will practice asking questions about food items when we go shopping.
• Each group, please think of two food items, one countable and one uncountable.
• T draws a T chart on the board. T writes numbers based on the number of groups. In
this class, we had 6 groups.
• T calls on each group to say the food items.
o “Group 1, what is your countable food? What is your uncountable food?”
• T fills in the items.

Teach:
• T explains that with countable nouns we use the
question “how many” and with uncountable nouns
we use the question “how much”
• T write this information on the board next to C/U
• To answer “how many,” we only need a number +
item
o How many apples do you want?
o 5 apples
• To answer “how much,” we need a number
+measure + of + item
o How much oil do you want?
o 2 liters of oil
• T shows the question “how (much/many) ____ do
you want?”

• The board should have the following information à

Class Practice:
• T explains that the T is the shopkeeper and the groups are the customers
• T will ask each group how much/how many of their items they want to buy
• Groups need to give their answer together
• When groups answer, T writes their answers on the board and gives corrections as
needed

126
Unit 6

o Group 1, how many apples do you want?


§ 10 apples
o Group 1, how much rice do you want?
§ 3 bags of rice
• When finished, the board should be filled in with the answers from each group.

Individual Practice (Ex 3+4):


• Now look at Exercise 3 on page 59.
• Let’s read the food items together.
• Now circle the uncountable items: mutton, chicken, fish, rice, peanut oil
• For these foods, what question will you use? How much or how many?
o How much?
• For other foods, like cabbages, carrots, and pumpkins, what will you use?
o How many?
• T gives students 3 activities to work on. T can write these 3 activities on the board.
• T can explain that #1 & #2 should be done silently. #3 is the only activity with
speaking.

1. Write the questions and answers for 1-10 (Ex 3)


2. Write questions and answers for 2a
o Do not copy Ex 3. Use your answers in 2a to write 4 new questions and
answers
o T can write #1 as an example on the board
3. Practice the dialogue in Ex 3 with a friend
o Both you & your friend must be finished with 1&2 to practice the dialogue

• The board may look like this:

• Remind the students that to determine if they should use how much/how many, they
must look at the item in the question...not the answer.
• You can answer “how many” questions with a measure:
o How many apples do you want? 2 kilograms of apples

127
• Students work on Ex 3, 2a questions & answers, and dialogue practice
• T moves around the room to help and answer questions

Review:
• Half the class is the shopkeeper, half the class is the customer
• Class practices the dialogue as a large group
• Then, change the groups

128
Units 4-6

UNITS 4-6
PROJECT 2
Goals:
! SWBAT put food items in three groups: foods with carbohydrates, foods with protein,
and foods with vitamins
! SWBAT create a poster that shows 3 groups and foods in each group

Intro (Ex 1):


! Today we will review food items and make a poster about 3 main groups of foods
! T draws three columns on the board
! T asks the students some comprehension questions:
○ What are carbohydrates? Can you give me some examples?
■ Substance in food that gives us energy
■ Rice, bread, noodles
○ What is protein? What foods have protein?
■ Substance in food that makes us strong
■ Meat, fish, eggs
○ What are vitamins?
■ Substance in food that keeps us healthy
■ Substances in food that protects our body (eyesight, hair, skin, health,
etc)
○ Now, we will put food items in the different category (category = group)

Foods with carbohydrates Foods with protein Foods with vitamins

! T gives each group a few cards. Each card has a food item on it.
! T calls one group to the board to place their cards in the right category
○ Note: before the class, T can prepare small pieces of tape to put the cards on
the board when the students come to the front
! T checks answers and moves cards to the correct category if necessary
! After all groups place their cards, T reviews each category
○ T reads the foods and Ss repeat

129
Units 4-6

! The board may look like this:

! Students write answers in their textbooks for Ex 1

Practice (Ex 2):


! One small group (3 students) gets one A4 paper
! T explains that students will make a poster with
the 3 food groups

POEM 2
Goals:
• SWBAT understand the meaning of the poem
• SWBAT match the English vocabulary with the Myanmar meanings

Intro:
• Today we will read a poem. Open your books to page 63.
• T writes two questions on the board in Myanmar:
o Why is sleeping at night important?
o What do you think this poem is about?
• Each group gets one small paper. Students talk about the two questions in Myanmar
and then write the answers in Myanmar on their group paper.
• When all groups finish, T asks each group to share their answers. All answers are
ok!
• Some possible answers for #1:
o Sleeping at night is important because our bodies need sleep to be healthy.
o If I don’t sleep, I’m tired at school, and then, learning is difficult.
o If I don’t sleep, I feel tired and angry, and then, I am not kind to my family.
• Some possible answers for #2:
o This poem is about a farm.
o This poem is about a chicken.
o This poem is about waking up in the morning,

• T asks the other three pre-reading questions in English and asks for the Ss answers.
o Who wrote this poem? (look at the bottom of the poem, this is where the
poet’s name is — Benjamin Franklin)
o What time do you usually go to bed?
o Are you an early riser? = Do you wake up early?

Teach:
• Ss read the poem silently and underline words they don’t know
• T teaches new English vocabulary on the board with Myanmar meanings and some
motions
• Students should note the new words down in their textbook
o For example, if they underlined crow, they should write the Myanmar meaning
for crow in their textbook

Practice (Ex 1: Read the Poem):


• T reads the poem with motions and Ss repeat
• After the T reads the poem once, T reads the poem again line by line
o T reads one line
o T asks students to translate the line
o Ss give translation ideas
o T repeats the correct answer for the line
o T encourages Ss to write the translations into their textbook if they didn’t
know the meaning

Small Group Practice (Vocabulary Practice):


• One group, one bag
• In the bag, there are 14 words, 7 purple English words and 7 black Myanmar words.
Match the English with the Myanmar word. They should have the same meaning.
• When you finish, raise your hand.

131
• CCQs:
o How many words are in the bag? 14
o How many English words? 7
o How many Myanmar words? 7
o What will you do with the words? Match them
o Can you match words with different meanings? No! The same meaning
o (You can use Myanmar here to give an example of a match with the same
meaning)
• When groups finish, T checks their work. Then the group should look at Ex 2 and try
to answer the questions with short answers.
o Note: the questions in Ex 2 are difficult, so T should not expect students to be
able to finish Ex 2 without guidance

Class Practice (Ex 2):


• When all groups finish the Vocabulary Practice (see above), T calls attention and
asks Ss, “please look at Exercise 2 on page 63”
• T asks the questions and asks students, what does this question mean?
o See if the students can translate the question into Myanmar. If they cannot,
then T can provide the Myanmar translation
• T asks one group for an answer. T writes short answer on the board. Ss write short
answers in their textbooks.
Short answers:
1. The cock
2. 8
3. 2
4. Wise
5. Go to bed early and wake up early

Review:
• T asks the students for their opinions in Myanmar:
o Do you agree with this poem? Is going to bed early and waking up early the
only way to be healthy/wealthy/wise?
• Ss share their opinions in Myanmar
• Extra time: practice the poem with motions again

into the chart on Ex 3a. (Ss should read the headings of the chart before they begin
writing in the answers.)

Group Practice (Ex 3b):


• When all groups finish writing in the chart, T calls attention.
• One group, 3 small papers. In your group, you will draw 3 pictures.
• One picture of Su Su, one picture of Pu Pu, and one picture of Ko Ko
• Use the information in the passage to help you draw them.

Review:
• Now, let’s review what we learned about Su Su, Pu Pu, and Ko Ko.
• T draws the chart from 3a on the board, and asks each group for a different answer.
o Age: How old is (name)?
o Height: How tall is (name)?
o Build: What kind of build does (name) have?
o Face: What kind of face does (name) have?
o Hair: What kind of hair does (name) have?
• At the end of the review, the 3a chart on the board should be completed.

Sr No. Name Age Height Build Face Hair


1 Ko Ko 18 Six feet Well-built Square Short wavy
2 Pu Pu 11 Five feet three inches Light, slim oval Long straight

3 Su Su 11 Five feet heavy oval bob

LESSON 3
Period 1
Unit 7 Lesson 3 Period 1 – Exercises 1 (All), 2+3 (COMPARATIVE ONLY)

Note: This lesson was taught across two periods, 90 minutes total.

Goals:
• SWBAT understand why we use the comparative forms of adjectives.
• SWBAT form the comparative from an adjective and use it in a sentence with “than.”

Intro (Ex 1):


• T gives some examples based on classroom objects & geography:
o I am taller than my students.
o This ruler is longer than my pen.
o The water bottle is bigger than my cup.
o Dancing is more fun than studying.
o China is bigger than Thailand.
o Yangon is more populous than Mandalay. (=Yangon has more people than
Mandalay.)
• T explains: These are examples of comparatives: taller, longer, bigger, bigger
• Today we will practice comparatives. Ss, open your books to page 68.
o How many people are in the picture? 3
o Let’s read number 1: Su Su is shorter than Ko Toe.
§ T writes on the board “shorter than” and explains in Myanmar.
§ T asks students: Is this true or false? True!
o Let’s read number 2: Thura is the tallest of the three.
§ T writes on the board “the tallest” and explains in Myanmar; do you
remember tallest from Lesson 2? Tallest is a superlative.
§ T asks the students: is this true or false? False!
§ Who is the tallest? Ko Toe
o Let’s read number 3: Ko Toe is fatter than Thura.
§ T writes on the board “fatter than” and explains in Myanmar.
§ T asks students: is this true of false? True!

Teach:
• T explains in Myanmar when and how we use comparative adjectives:
o We use comparative adjectives to compare two people or two things.
o We use comparative adjectives with “than”.
• For example, Min Min and Aung Aung on page 68.
o Aung Aung is saying, “I’m taller than Min Min.”
• T explains in Myanmar how we form the comparative adjective:
o T can write the chart and the rules on the board
o T should explain “syllable” -- the number of vowel sounds in a word
o Ss should write the types & rules in their notebook

(not ending in -y)

3 Adjectives with 2 syllables change “-y” to easy easier


ending in -y “i” friendly friendlier
noisy noisier
add “-er”

4 Adjectives with 3+ syllables add “more” beautiful more beautiful


interesting more interesting
Most adjectives with 2+ expensive more expensive
syllables* more famous
famous more modern
modern

5 Adjectives that end with a double the final big bigger


single vowel & single letter & thin thinner

comparatives.pdf

*Note: Some adjectives with 2 syllables take “more” (any two-syllable adjective ending in -
ed, -ing, -ous, -ex). For example, boring > “more boring,” and stressed > “more stressed,”
and “modern” > “more modern,” “famous” > “more famous”

Class Practice (Ex 3):


• Now that we’ve learned the rules, we can complete the “comparative” column of
Exercise 3. Ss, please write the answers in the chart.
• Students, please look at Exercise 3. The first category is “one syllable adjectives.”
Which rule is this? #1 or #5
o big → #5, add -g & -er, so bigger
o small → #1, add -er, so smaller
o smart → #1, add -er, so smarter
o thin → #5, add -n & -er, so thinner
o young → #1, add -er, younger
• T walks students through each category and helps them identify with rule to use:
o two-syllable adjectives → #2
o adjectives of 3 or more syllables → #4

149
Unit 7

o adjectives ending in “-y” → #3


o irregular adjectives → #6
• Ss call out the answers, and T writes on the board.

Class Practice (Ex 2, #3 and #5):


• Now let’s practice some questions in Exercise 2 with comparative adjectives
o To answer the questions, we will use the comparative adjective + than
o Example: Who is taller, you or your friend? I am taller than my friend.
• #3: Who is more careful, you or your sister?
o I am more careful than my sister. OR My sister is more careful than me.
• #5: Who is quieter, you or your brother?
o I am quieter than my brother. OR My brother is quieter than me.

(First 45 min ends/Second 45 min begins)

Group Practice (Worksheet):


• Now in your groups, you will complete a worksheet about comparatives.
• T can discuss and show examples on the board for each section.
• Section 1: Write the comparative adjective
o Bad — worse
o Difficult — more difficult
• Section 2: Write the comparative adjective
o My school is (small) ___ than yours. — smaller
o I can run (fast) ___ than my brother. — faster
• Section 3: Find the adjective in the sentence and write the comparative
adjective

Period 2
Unit 7 Lesson 3 Period 2 – Exercises 2+3 (SUPERLATIVES ONLY)

Goals:
• SWBAT understand why we use the superlative forms of adjectives.
• SWBAT form the superlative from an adjective and use it in a sentence with “the.”

Intro:
• Today we will practice superlatives! Here are some examples:
• My ruler is the longest thing. (T holds up a pencil, correction pen, and a ruler.)
• This book is the biggest. (T holds up Teachers guide, textbook, and
notebook.)
• The Irrawaddy River is the longest river in Myanmar.
• Russia is the biggest country in the world.
• Yangon is the biggest city in Myanmar.
• T explains: These are examples of superlatives: longest, biggest

Note: you can refer to words like best/worst/greatest/etc. as “superlative adjectives” or


“superlatives.”

Teach:
• T explains in Myanmar when and how we use superlative adjectives:
o We use superlatives to compare someone/something with the whole group
that he/she/it is in
o We use the superlative form with “the”.
• For example, the daughter on page 68.
o The daughter is saying, “I’m the youngest in my family.”
• T explains in Myanmar how we form the superlative adjective:
o T can write the chart and the rules on the board
o T should explain “syllable” -- the number of vowel sounds in a word
o Ss should write the types & rules in their notebook

No. Type Rules Superlative Superlative


Examples Adjectives

1 Adjectives with 1 syllable add “-est” or “- small smallest


st” smart smartest
young youngest
cold coldest
nice nicest

2 Some Adjectives with 2 add “-est” or “- clever cleverest


syllables (not ending in -y)* st” quiet quietest

superlatives.pdf

*Note: Some adjectives with 2 syllables take “most.” For example, boring > “most boring,”
and stressed > “most stressed,” and “modern” > “most modern,” “famous” > “most famous”

Class Practice (Ex 3):


• Now that we’ve learned the rules, we can complete the “superlative” column of
Exercise 3. Ss, please write the answers in your books.
• Students, please look at Exercise 3. The first category is “one syllable adjectives.”
Which rule is this? #1 or #5
o big → #5, add -g & -est, so biggest
o small → #1, add -est, so smallest
o smart → #1, add -est, so smartest
o thin → #5, add -n & -est, so thinnest
o young → #1, add -est, youngest
• T walks students through each category and helps them identify with rule to use:
o two-syllable adjectives → #2

Unit 7

Period 3
Unit 7 Lesson 3 Period 3 – Exercises 4+5

Goals:
• SWBAT write sentences using comparative and superlative adjectives.
• SWBAT decide if they should use the comparative form or the superlative form in the
sentence.

Intro:
• Review: What does “comparative” mean? What does “superlative” mean?
• Comparative = comparing 2 things to each other (usually)
• Superlative = comparing one thing to a group
• When we write a sentence with comparatives, what do we use? Than
• When we write a sentence with superlatives, what do we use? The

Teach (Ex 4):


• Look at the four people on page 69. Let me tell you the ages of the people.
• Su Su is 8. Ko Toe is 13. Thura is 7. Thuzar is 12.
• Write their ages in your book. (T writes the ages on the board.)
• Instructions:
• We will look at the sentences and the adjectives.
• If we see only one person, we will write a sentence with a superlative. What
will we do to write a sentence with a superlative? (the + superlative form -
est/most)
• If we see two people, we will write a sentence with a comparative. What will
we do to write a sentence with a comparative? (comparative form -er/more +
than)
• T leads Ss through each number, asking the student: How many people are in the
sentence? Should we use comparative or superlative? What is the answer?
• #1, only one person, so superlative → the oldest
• #2, only one person, so superlative → the youngest
• #3, two people, so comparative → thinner than
• #4, two people, so comparative → shorter than
• #5, only one person, so superlative → the tallest
• #6, two people, so comparative → older than
• Ss write the answers in their book.

Group Practice (Worksheet):


• Now in your groups, you will practice writing sentences with comparatives and
superlatives. For all of the sentences, you will use the verb “to be”
• If you see two nouns in the box & an adjective, use comparative with the adjective.
• If you see one noun & one adjective+noun, use superlative with the noun
• Comparative example:
• A ruler
• A pen
• Long
• (change to comparative)
• Answer: A ruler is longer than a pen.
• Superlative example:
• Daw Kay Thi
• Good teacher

154
Unit 7

• (change good to superlative)


• Answer: Day Kay Thi is the best teacher.
• Students work in groups to complete the worksheet. T should move around the room
to help students as they work.
• When all groups finish, T calls attention for Ex 5.

Worksheet correction: It should be the “rhino” not hippo.

Individual Practice (Ex 5):


• Students, please read the paragraph silently. Underline “THAN” and “THE”
• Don’t worry if you don’t understand. What is important is finding “than” and “the”
• When Ss finish, T gives instructions for Exercise 5:
• You will read the paragraph again. In the paragraph, you will see adjectives in
the brackets “()”. Change the adjectives to comparative or superlative.
• If you see “than” in the sentence, use comparative.
• If you see “the” before the adjective, use superlative.
• First, write the answers in your textbook. Then, write the paragraph again in your
exercise book with the answers.

155
Unit 7

Review:
• Let’s read our answers to the worksheet. One group, one sentence.
• T calls on each group to read one sentence from the worksheet.

Teacher Note:
• I run faster than my sister. = comparative adverb
• I am the faster runner. = comparative adjective

• I am the best student. = superlative adjective


• I study best after I eat dinner. = superlative adverb

• We use the names “comparatives” and “superlatives” to refer to these words


generally.
• Comparative adverbs/adjectives = comparatives
• Superlative adverbs/adjectives = superlatives

LESSON 4
Period 1
Unit 7 Lesson 4 Period 1 – Exercises 1+2

Goals:
• Students will be able to match appearance descriptions with each inventor.
• Students will be able to complete the paragraphs about the inventors’ appearances.

Intro:
• Look at the three pictures on page 70.
• T points to each picture and asks the students, “Who is this?”
• T explains: Today we will practice describing the appearances of these inventors.

Practice (Exercise 1):


• Look at the box in Exercise 1.
• T gives the Myanmar meanings for telephone, electric light bulb, and the universal
law of gravitation.
• T explains:
o Now search in the 3 boxes in Exercise 2 for “Telephone.” When you find it,
circle telephone.
o When the Ss find “telephone,” T asks the Ss, “What name do you see in that
box?”
§ Alexander Graham Bell – He is famous for inventing the telephone.
o Repeat the search for “electric light bulb” and “the law of universal gravitation”
and ask the students which name matches each invention.
§ Thomas Edison is famous for inventing the electric light bulb.
§ Sir Isaac Newton is famous for the law of universal gravitation.
o Ss write the invention under each inventor’s name above Exercise 1. Ss can
also draw lines from Ex 1 to the correct inventor’s picture.

156
Unit 7

Teach:
• T says: “Now that we know what each person is famous for, we will practice
describing their appearance.”
• T writes 10 words from Exercise 2 box on the board and gives Myanmar meaning.
For certain words, T gives examples of their use:
o Nouns:
§ Beard
o Adjectives:
§ Broad > broad forehead
§ Fair > fair complexion
§ Grey > grey hair
§ Long > long nose
§ Oval > oval face
§ Pointed > pointed nose, pointed chin
§ Short > short hair
§ Thick > thick eyebrows
§ Wavy > shoulder-length wavy hair

Practice (Description matching):


• Post three simple pictures of the inventors on the board, and give instructions for the
activity. Each group gets one bag. In the bag, there are 16 descriptions. Match the
description with the correct inventor.
• When you finish, draw each inventor in your notebook and write the descriptions.
• CCQs:
o How many descriptions are in the bag? 16
o What do you do with the descriptions? Match with the inventor
o When you finish, what do you do? Draw and write in my notebook
• When all groups finish, T asks each group to share some descriptions of each
inventor. T writes the answers on the board. T does NOT erase – Ss can use this
information for Exercise 2.

157
Unit 7

Practice (Exercise 2):


• Now, look at Exercise 2 on page 70.
• T explains:
o Work together in your group to fill in the blanks in the paragraphs. Write the
answers in your textbook.
o Remember, one box is about one person. You can look at the descriptions on
the board (and in your notebook) from the activity to help you. Use the words
from the box; use each word only one time.
o When you finish, raise your hand silently.
• CCQs:
o What will you do in the boxes? Fill in the blanks
o Can you use a word two times? No, each word only one time
o What can you look at to help? The descriptions on the board
o Where will you write the answers? In my textbook
o When you finish, what will you do? Raise my hand silently

Review:
• T asks each group for one answer. Group 1, what is #1? Group 3, what is #2? Etc.
until all 10 questions are answered.
o T writes correct answers on the board.
• T reviews the ten vocabulary words again (beard, broad, fair, grey, long, oval,
pointed, short, thick, wavy). T says the Myanmar meaning; Ss give the English
meaning.

158
Unit 7

Period 2
Unit 7 Lesson 4 Period 2 – Exercises 3+4

Goals:
• SWBAT complete sentences with “is” or “has got” by identifying if the appearance
description is a noun phrase (use “has got”) or an adjective (use “is”).
• SWBAT write sentences to describe the people in the pictures using “is” with
adjectives and “has got” with nouns.

Intro:
• Students, let’s look back at Unit 7 Lesson 1 on page 64.
• In Exercise 1, we learned some adjectives for descriptions. (T can review the
meaning of these adjectives by saying the English and students giving the Myanmar
meaning.)
• In Exercise 2, we learned noun phrases, where we used adjective + noun for
descriptions (T can review meaning of these adjectives by saying the English and
students giving the Myanmar meaning. For example, T says “curly hair” and Ss
respond with Myanmar meaning.)

Teach:
• Let’s go back to Lesson 4 on page 71.
• Students, look at Exercise 3 and circle the adjectives: tall,
short, slim, fat.
o T explains: we use “is” with adjectives when we
describe appearances. We are using “is” because
the subject is he/she.
• Now, look at Exercise 3 and underline nouns: nose,
dimple, mole, moustache, face, complexion.
o T explains: we use “has got” with nouns (body
parts) when we describe appearances. We are
using “has got” instead of “have got” because the
subject is he/she.
• Do you see #3, #9, and #10?
o These all have adjective + noun (small nose, oval
face, dark complexion).
o Because the phrase ends in a noun (and the
adjective describes the body part, not the subject), we will use “has got” as
the verb.

Note: Has/have = has got/have got.


Has/have is more common in American English.
Has/have got is more common in British English.

Practice (Exercise 3):


• Students, please work together to complete #1-10 in Exercise 3.

Teach:
• Now, we will write our own sentences to describe the pictures.
• We will use two kinds of sentences:
o He/She is…
§ We can write adjectives (He is handsome)

159
Unit 7

We can write about clothing (He is wearing a black shirt)


o He/She has got…
§ We can write about body parts. (He has got short hair. She has got
long hair.)
• T should offer more examples on the board to show when to use a/an:
o Examples (He/She + has got + adjective + noun)
§ He has got a big nose.
§ She has got a long nose. (use “a” or “an” with countable singular
nouns)
§ He has got big ears.
§ She has got long hair. (no “a” with uncountable / plural)
o Examples (He/She + is wearing + adjective + noun)
§ She is wearing a red shirt.
§ He is wearing a green cap.
§ She is wearing blue jeans.
§ He is wearing yellow shoes.

Practice (Exercise 4):


• One small group, one paper. Look at the pictures
in Exercise 4, and write about what you see.
• On the paper, you will write:
o 6 sentences about the man: 3 with “is” and
3 with “has got”
o 6 sentences about the woman: 3 with “is”
and 3 with “has got”

• When you finish, you will combine your 6


sentences for the man into 3 sentences:
o He has got ___, ___, and ___.
o He is wearing ___ and ___.
o He is ___.
• You will also combine your 6 sentences for the
woman into 3 sentences:
o She has got ___, ___, and ___.
o She is wearing ___ and ___.
o She is __.
• Remember: we use “and” before the last thing in
a list.
• You will write these sentences into your textbook
for Exercise 4.

Review:
• T asks different groups to read about the pictures.
o For example: “Group 1, please read one sentence about the man.” “Group 2,
please read one sentence about the woman.”

160
Unit 7

Period 3
Unit 7 Lesson 4 Period 3 – Exercise 5a & 5b

Goals:
• SWBAT write descriptions of people including appearance adjectives, body parts,
and clothing items.
• SWBAT brainstorm ideas for their descriptions before writing sentences.

Materials: For this lesson, you will need pictures of different people. You can take these
photos from magazines/newspapers or have students bring in their family photos.

Intro:
• T reviews Lesson 4 Exercises 3 and 4. T discusses when we use “is”, “has got”, and
“is wearing”
o Is + adjective
o Has got + adjective + noun (body part)
o Is wearing + adjective + clothing item

Teach:
• T explains brainstorming process with an example picture:
o Today, we will write descriptions of people in pictures. To write these
descriptions, we will take two steps. Number 1: Brainstorm, Number 2: Write.
o To brainstorm, we will draw 3 circles: adjectives, body parts, clothing.
o Let’s look at a picture together.
o What adjectives would you use for this person?
§ Ss call out answers; T writes 3 or 4 connected to the adjective circle
o What body parts would you write about for this person?
§ Ss call out answers; T writes 3 or 4 connected to the body parts
circle.
§ Remember to include adjective + body part – such as: thick eyebrows,
blue eyes, wavy hair
o What are they wearing?
§ Ss call out answers about clothing; T writes 3 or 4 connected to the
clothing circle
• T examples writing process with the brainstorming example:
o For the adjectives, how would we write a sentence?
§ He/She is ___, ___, and ___. (Remember to always put “and” before
the last item in your list.)
o For the body parts, how would we write a sentence?
§ He/She has got ___, ___, and ___.
o How the clothing, how would we write a sentence?
§ He/She is wearing __, __, and __.
o Remember, if you only have two ideas, you can write:
§ He/She is __ and __.
§ He/She has got __ and __.
§ He/She is wearing __ and ___.

161
• After giving the examples, your board may look like this:

Practice:
• T gives the activity instructions. T can write them on the board.
o 1. Brainstorm about your picture in your exercise book.
o 2. Write your sentences in your textbook (Exercise 5a).
o 3. Change your picture for a new one.
o 4. Brainstorm & write again in your exercise book.
• Students work on brainstorming and writing about their first picture. T should move
around the room offering help.
• When Ss finish with their first picture, they can change for a new picture with another
group. T can also offer more pictures at the front of the class.

Review:
• T asks each group to read their description of their first picture.
• T holds up two pictures and ask the class, “did they describe picture 1 or 2?”
• Repeat for each group.

Unit 8

UNIT 8
LESSON 1
Period 1
Unit 8 Lesson 1 Period 1 – Exercises 1-3

Goals:
• SWBAT correctly read numbers (1,000-999,999) aloud.
• SWBAT accurately write down numbers that they hear.

Intro:
• T gives each group a few cards with numbers 1-19. (For example, one card says “1”
another card says “2,” and so on, with a total of 19 cards.)
• T calls out numbers and students hold up the number they hear.

Teach:
• Today we will practice numbers. We’ve already practiced 1-19.
• T writes “20” on the board, and asks “what is this number?” Ss call out the answer. T
write the spelling on the board (“twenty”)
• T repeats with 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
• T explains that we always read the tens and ones place together. For example: 41 is
not “four one” – it’s “forty one”
• T writes a few numbers on the board and Ss read them:
• 25 – twenty five
• 38 – thirty eight
• 85 – eighty five
• 99 – ninety nine
• T writes 100 on the board. What is this number? Ss call out, “one hundred”
• T explains that when we have a number here, we say the number (1-9) and then
“hundred” – if there is anything AFTER hundred, then we add “and”
• 101 = one hundred AND one
• 200 = two hundred
• 330 = three hundred and thirty
• 999 = nine hundred and ninety nine
• T writes 1,000 on the board. This is “one thousand”
• We always say this number 1-9 and then say “thousand”
• 2,000 = two thousand
• 3,500 = three thousand five hundred
• 4,670 = four thousand six hundred and seventy
• T writes 10,000 on the board. This is “ten thousand”
• We always read these two numbers before the comma together 1-99 and
then say “thousand”
• 15,000 = fifteen thousand

163
Unit 8

• 12,010 = twelve thousand and ten


• 18,103 = eighteen thousand one hundred and three
• 65,000 = sixty five thousand
• T write 100,000 on the board. This is “one hundred thousand”
• We read the hundreds number by itself (1-9), then we read the two numbers
before the comma (1-99) together, and then we say “thousand”
• 230,000 = two hundred thirty thousand
• 345,000 = three hundred forty five thousand
• 789,100 = seven hundred eighty nine thousand one hundred

Teach (Ex 1):


• “Students, open your books to page 72. Look at Exercise 1. Repeat after me.”
• T reads each number and Ss repeat.
• T can explain that “a thousand” = “one thousand” / “a hundred” = “one hundred”

Practice (Ex 1 Extension):


• Each group gets one A4 paper and a marker.
• The teacher will say a number, and Ss will write the number on their A4 paper. After
they write the number, Ss hold up the paper to show the teacher.
• Ss should write big enough so the teacher can see it from the board.
• Tip: Ss can fold the paper into thirds, so they can write 3 numbers on one
side, and 3 numbers on the other side.
• T gives each group a point (one mark) when they hold up the correct number. T can
write the correct answers and the groups’ marks on the board.
• Numbers for the activity:
• 1. Two hundred and three > 203
• 2. Five hundred and ninety five > 595
• 3. One thousand and four hundred > 1,400
• 4. Eighteen thousand > 18,000
• 5. One hundred thirty thousand > 130,000
• 6. Seven hundred eighty thousand > 780,000

Practice (Ex 2+3):


• “Students, please look at Exercise 2 on page 72. Each group, please read one
number. Group 1, read the first number.”
• Group reads the number, and T repeats the correct answer. Then all Ss repeat the
correct answer. Repeat for all 8 numbers in Exercise 2.
• Then, T can play the Ex 3 recording for Ss to listen and practice again.

Review:
• T writes a new number on the board & asks one group to read the number aloud.
• “Group 1, please read this number.”
• After the group reads the number, T tells the group “thank you,” and T
repeats the correct answer for the class to hear.
• Numbers for review activity:
• 1. 500,000 > five hundred thousand
• 2. 1,345 > one thousand three hundred and forty five
• 3. 40,500 > forty thousand five hundred
• 4. 344 > three hundred forty four
• 5. 140,500 > one hundred forty thousand five hundred
• 6. 13,990 > thirteen thousand nine hundred and ninety

• SWBAT sort shopping expressions into who the speaker is: Shop Assistant or
Customer.

Intro:
• “Let’s review the numbers we practiced in Exercise 2.”
• T writes the numbers from Exercise 2 on the board.
• Each group reads one number aloud.

Teach:
• “Please look at Exercise 4a. When we read the expressions, think about who would
say these expressions – a shop assistant or a customer. Let’s read each expression,
please repeat after me.”
• After reading one expression, T asks the Ss, “what does this mean?” Ss call out
answers.
• T gives the correct Myanmar meaning. Ss write the Myanmar meaning in their
textbooks.
• After giving the meaning, T asks the Ss, “who would say this? A shop assistant or a

are 10 expressions from Exercise 4a
and 1 chart.
• The chart has two columns: Shop
Assistant and Customer. What is a
shop assistant? (Ss call out meaning)
What is a customer? (Ss call out
meaning.)
• Think about what a shop assistant
would say and what a customer would
say. Work together and put the expressions in the correct column.
• When you finish, raise your hand silently.
• CCQs:
• What’s in the bag? 10 expressions and 1 chart
• What are the chart columns? Shop assistant and customer
• What do you do with the expressions? Put them in the correct column
• When you finish, what do you do? Raise my hand silently
• When a group finishes, T checks the groups work, and then Ss write the answers
into their textbook in Ex 4a.

Practice (extension):
• While Ss are writing the answers in their textbooks, T can write this conversation on
the board:

SA: Hello, can I help you?


C: I’m looking for crayons.
SA: Sorry. We haven’t got any at the moment.

165
Unit 8

(a few minutes later)

Assistant and Customer. T reads and Ss repeat the conversation in their groups.
• Then, have the groups change roles and practice again.
• With extra time, T can ask students to translate the conversation and/or practice the
conversation in small groups.

Review:
• Let’s read the expressions we learned again.
• For example: “Group 1, please read one Shop Assistant expression.”
• Each group reads one expression from the chart in 4a. After they read each
expression, T asks the students, “what does it mean?”

is #1?” T writes correct answers on the board.

Practice (Speaking Ex 5b):


• T splits calls into two groups: Shop Assistant and Zaw Zaw.
• T reads each part again, and each group repeats.
• Then, groups change roles, and the class reads the conversation again.
• If there’s enough time, groups can read the conversation without the teacher. T
listens and correct pronunciation after each line.

Teach (Ex 6a):


• T writes questions and answers from Ex 6a on the board
• Singular:
• Q: How much is a/an ___?
• A: That’s ____ kyats.
• Plural:
• Q: How much are these ___?
• A: They’re ___ kyats.

each singular noun in Ex 6a: T-shirt, backpack, watch, umbrella
• If Ss are more advanced, encourage time to think of more ideas of things they could
buy at a store.

Review:
• One group asks the question: “How much is a/an ___?” And one group gives the
answer: “That’s ___ kyats.”
• T chooses one group to ask the question, and one group to answer. T tells the group
which item to ask about.

Open your textbooks to page 75.”

Teach (Vocabulary):
• “Students, please read the information in the box silently. Underline the words you
don’t know. I will hang the vocabulary posters on the board. If you don’t know a word,
look at the board to find the meaning.”
• CCQs:
o What are you doing now? Writing? Talking? No, reading!
o What will you underline? Words I don’t know
o If you don’t know a word, where can you look? At the board
• When Ss are reading, T hangs vocabulary posters on the board.

• After ~5 minutes of reading time, T calls attention and reviews the vocabulary with
the students in English and Myanmar.
o Note: location (noun); located (adjective)

171
Unit 8

• At this time, T can also explain the glossary and how the glossary gives us more
information about new words/ideas in the passage.

Teach (Reading):
• T plays the recording of the passage and stops after each paragraph (or T reads
each paragraph). Ss listen and do not repeat.
• After each paragraph, T explains the paragraph information in Myanmar. T can refer
to the new vocabulary on the board.

Practice (Ex 2b):


• “Now, everyone look at Exercise 2b. How many paragraphs are there in the
passage?” 7
• “For this exercise, we will read the topic and then we will decide what paragraph (1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7) we can find this information.”
o T can lead this activity in Myanmar, referring to the vocabulary on the board.
• For each number, T reads the topic, and then T asks, “what does it mean?” T can
refer to the vocabulary on the board to help Ss know the meaning of the topic.
• Then, T asks, “what paragraph is this information in?”
• After the Ss give an answer, T asks “Why?” Ss can say what they see in the
paragraph that is about that topic.
o For example, (a) the weather in Myeik:
§ “what paragraph is this information in?” #6
§ “why?” hot, temperature, rain, rainy, partly cloudy
• T can write each answer (paragraph number) on the board as the class gives the
answers. Ss should write the answers in their textbooks.

Practice (Ex 2b extension):


• One group, one bag, and one paper
• In the bag, there is information about
Myeik.
• On the paper, there are the topics of
the paragraphs.
• Work together in your group to match
the topics with the information. If you
don’t know, look at the number on the
paper and read the paragraph again.
• When you finish, raise your hand.
• CCQs:
o What will you do with the
information in the bag? Match
with paragraphs
o If you don’t know, what will
you do? Read the paragraph
again
o When you finish, what will you do? Raise my hand
• When a group finishes, T checks their work, and Ss copy the topics & information
into their exercise books.

• T draws a chart on the board. Ss copy chart into their notebooks.

• T reads and explains the first box about “a lot.”


• T reads and explains the second box about “much” and “many.”
• We use “much” with uncountable nouns, and we use “many” with countable
nouns.
• Now, let’s try 2 examples. (T writes examples on the board, and asks if the
noun is countable/uncountable, and if we should use many/much in the
sentence.)
• 1. I have ___ toys at home. (many/much)
• 2. My sister didn’t eat ____ soup. (many/much)
• T reads and explains the third box about “some” and “any.”

sentence is affirmative/negative, and if we should use some/any in the
sentence.)

177
Unit 8

• 3. Today, I didn’t drink ____ coffee. (some/any)


• 4. Yesterday, I ate ____ cake. (some/any)

• T can read the nouns from Ex 1 in English and have Ss give the Myanmar
meaning.
• T can ask students: “What did we learn today about quantifiers?” “What do we use
quantifiers for?” – to give an amount of something
• Review the meanings of quantifiers by T reading the quantifier in English and
Ss giving the Myanmar meaning.

Period 2
Unit 8 Lesson 3 Period 2 – Exercises 2+3a

Goals:
• SWBAT change the quantifier in a sentence based on the noun
(countable/uncountable) and the verb (affirmative/negative).
• SWBAT decide if they should use “how much” or “how many” to ask a question.

Intro:
• T writes words on the board:
• One group, one paper (1/2 of an A4 paper)
• Ss draw a T chart on their paper.
• Ss work in groups to put the words into the countable and uncountable columns.

178
Unit 8

• When all groups finish, T asks each group to answer if a word is


countable/uncountable. For example, “group 1, rice, countable or uncountable?”
• T writes the correct answers in a chart on the side of the board.

Teach:
• T draws the Quantifiers chart on the board and reviews the quantifiers with the
students.
• T adds draws 2 boxes for quantifiers with the same meaning (one box around a
lot/much/many & one box around some/any)
o If a sentence uses “many” but it is affirmative, we change to “a lot” not “some”
because many/a lot have the same meaning.
o If a sentence uses “any” but it is affirmative, we change to “some” because
any/some have approximately the same meaning.
• T adds a third column, “Affirmative or Negative”
o Teacher Note: these are basic rules used to complete this activity, but are not
always true when speaking/using English naturally

• T explains: “Today, we will look at the nouns (countable or uncountable) and the
sentence (affirmative or negative) to use the correct quantifier in a sentence”

Class Practice (Ex 2):


• T writes #1-5 from Ex 2 on the board. T has students open their books to page 77
and look at Ex 2.
o T can write #1, do the example with the class, ask students to note the
answer in their books, and then write #2, and so on.
o Writing all 5 on the board at the same time is a lot of “dead time” where no
teaching or learning is happening.

179
Unit 8

• Note: Change #3 to: She is eating only a few rice because she is not hungry.

• T explains there are 4 steps:


o 1. Circle the quantifier
o 2. Noun: Countable or Uncountable?
o 3. Sentence: Affirmative or Negative?
o 4. Use the chart to change the quantifier!
• T asks each question for #1-5 & marks the sentence:
o What is the quantifier?
o What is the noun? Countable or uncountable?
o Is the sentence affirmative or negative?
o How do we change the quantifier?
§ T demonstrates how to use the chart; quantifier needs to match U/C
column + A/N column + have the same meaning as the first quantifier
§ For example, a lot/much/many cannot be change to some/any
§ Some/any cannot be changed to a lot/much/many
o When all examples are finished, the board may look like this:

180
Unit 8

• Students should make the markings & changes in their textbook while the T is
teaching. When the T finishes all 5 from Ex 2, Ss write the 5 NEW sentences in their
exercise books (Do not write the old sentence; only write the new sentence.)

Group Practice (Ex 2 extension):


• While Ss are working, T writes 6 new sentences on the board with incorrect
quantifiers.
o 1. I have a little chickens at home.
o 2. My mom doesn’t drink many coffee.
o 3. My sister didn’t eat some rice.
o 4. There is many smoke in the air.
o 5. In my house, we have any furniture.

• When Ss finish writing Ex 2 sentences, T calls attention.
• T reviews the 4 steps:
o 1. Circle the quantifier
o 2. Noun: Countable or Uncountable?
o 3. Sentence: Affirmative or Negative?
o 4. Use the chart to change the quantifier!
• “Students, please work in groups to write these sentences and then change the
quantifier. Please do #2 through #6.”
• Ss use the back of the paper they used for the intro activity.
• T does #1 as an example on the board by asking the students questions.
o What is the quantifier? A little
o What is the noun? Chickens Countable or uncountable? Countable
o Is the sentence affirmative or negative? affirmative
o How do we change the quantifier? A few

• CCQs:
o On your paper, what will you write? Sentences #2-6
o What do you do first? What’s #1? Circle the quantifier
o What do you do second? Look at the noun! Countable or uncountable

181
Unit 8

o What do you do third? Look at the sentence! Affirmative or negative


o What do you do last? Change the quantifier
o Will you write #1? No!
• When all groups finish, T asks each group to read one sentence. For example,
“group 1, please read number 2.” T then asks “why?” for their answer.
• T writes correct answers on the board.
• When the review is finished, the board may look like this:

Individual Practice (Ex 3a):


• T reviews that with uncountable nouns, we ask “how much” and with countable
nouns we ask “how many.”

• SWBAT write complete answers to “how much” and “how many” questions

182
Unit 8

• SWBAT ask and answer “how much” and “how many” questions about their lives and
classroom

Intro:
• T write “countable” and “uncountable” on the board, and asks “when we want to ask
about the amount, what do we use for countable?” How many! “what do we use for
uncountable?” how much!
• T reviews how much/how many questions by giving examples:
• How many students are there in our class?

• How much tea did you drink this morning?

Teach (Ex 3b/c, Short Answers):


• “Today we will practice giving answers for how much/how many questions”
• T explains short answers:
• How much > short answer: none / a little / a lot
• How many > short answer: (a number, for example: 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.)

Class Practice (Ex 3b/c):


• T reads each question in 3a out loud and ask students, “what does it mean?”
• Ss give Myanmar translation, and T asks one group for a short answer: none/a little/a
lot
• Optional: T can ask Ss to practice these questions (asking & answering) in their
groups with a partner.

Teach (Ex 3b, Complete Answers):


• T explains complete answers:
• How much? complete answer:
• None: Negative sentence + any (noun)
• A little: Affirmative sentence + a little (noun)
• A lot: Affirmative sentence + a lot of (noun)
• Example: How much tea did you drink this morning?
• I didn’t drink any tea.
• I drank a little tea.
• I drank a lot of tea.
• How many? complete answer:
• 0: Negative sentence + any (noun, plural)
• 1+: Affirmative sentence + number (noun)
• Example: How many cookies did you eat?

questions.
• The friend gives short answers, and Ss write the short answers in their exercise
books.
• T can remind students how to give short answers:
• How much > short answer: none / a little / a lot
• How many > short answer: (a number, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.)

Review (Ex 4):

Intro:
• “Have you been to a supermarket? What can you buy there?” Ss call out ideas, or
one group each gives one idea.
• Then, each group gets one small paper. Students work together in groups to make a
list of things they can buy at a supermarket.
• “Students, please make a list of what you can buy at a supermarket.”
• Will you write sentences? No
• What will you write? A list
• A list of what? Animals? No, a list of things at a supermarket
• After ~4-5 minutes, T calls attention and asks each group to give 2 ideas. T makes a
list of the Ss’ ideas on the board.

Teach:
• “Today, we will read about children who are shopping at a supermarket. Students,
please open your books to page 78. Read the passage silently. Underline the words
you don’t know.”
• While the Ss are reading, T hangs a vocabulary poster on the board.

Unit 8

Group Practice:
• How many children are at the supermarket? 5! These are Thuzar’s 5 friends.
• One group, one bag of ten papers.
• 5 papers are friends’ names, 5 papers are their gift ideas.
• Work with your group. Match each friend with each gift idea. 1 friend, 1 gift.
• Remember, there is no Thuzar because it is her birthday!
• When you finish matching, draw a chart in your
textbook (a T chart with 2 columns: friends and
gifts) and write the friends & the gifts in your
textbook.
• CCQs:
• What’s in the bag? 10 papers
• What are the 10 papers? 5 friends, 5 gifts
• What do you do with the papers? Match
friends and gifts
• When you finish, what do you do? Draw a
chart and write the information

textbook
• As Ss work, T goes around the room to check
their answers. As Ss are writing the chart in their
textbook, T can write the 9 practice questions (for
the next activity on the board)
• When all Ss finish drawing the chart, T asks each group for 1 friend and their gift.
• For example: “Group 1, please tell me 1 friend and 1 gift.”
• T can write the answers on the side of the board.

Individual Practice:
• T calls students’ attention to the nine practice questions on the board.

• “Now, in your exercise books, you will answer these nine questions. Do not write the
question. Only write the answer. Let’s do number 1 together.”
• T reads the first question and asks what Ss think. Then, T writes correct answer on
the board.
• Note: #1 has multiple correct answers. Some examples include: The children
are shopping. The children are planning a birthday party. The children are
thinking about what gifts to buy for Thuzar.
• Students begin working on questions, and T can address difficulties along the way by
calling attention and offering help.
• #2: you need to use “It is ___’s birthday.” because of “whose” in the question
• #3-7: these can be short complete answers
• Singular: “__ wants to buy a ___.”
• Plural: “__ wants to buy __.”
• #9: Put “total” at the end of the answer or you can use “They have a total of
__.”
Review:
• With a few minutes left of class, T can ask each group to answer one question. For
example, “group 1, whose birthday is it?”
• T should write the correct answers on the board next to the questions.

you give it to me?)
■ subject is you (Example: Can you close the door?)
■ subject is I without “you”/other personal object (Example: Can I have
some water?)

also ask, “Why?” to hear students
explanations of their answers.
○ T writes correct answers
on the board.

Teach/Practice (Ex 4):


● T explains Exercise 4. Column A is different situations, Column B is requests/offers

3. Sentences
4. Exercise 6: Could/Couldn’t
5. Group Sentences
6. Review

Note: Students may find it very helpful to follow along with the lesson by seeing the agenda
(or the day’s plan) on the board in simple words. It also helps the teacher know what comes
next. The teacher can cross out each activity as it is completed in class.

Intro:
● T talks about her/himself using “can”
○ Examples: I can sing. I can dance. I can’t swim. I can’t drive a car.
● T asks Ss questions about themselves:
○ Can you sing? Can you dance? Can you swim?

Teach (Ex 5):


● T explains can & could. We use can for present tense; we use could for past tense. T
asks Ss to look at the chart for Exercise 5.
○ Can’t = cannot; couldn’t = could not
○ Checkmark = can, cross = can’t
○ & = and
● T and Ss read #1 together, and then look at the chart, where they find Zin Zin and
Dance. T asks, “what does the chart say? Can or can’t”
○ Ss answer, “can,” so #1 is False because the sentence says “can’t”
● Repeat for #2-5 as a class. T writes the answers on the board after each question is
discussed.

202
Unit 9

Practice (Ex 5 extension):


● For each person, write 4 sentences. For example:

● T draws a new chart on the board:
Age What Thuzar could do
1 year old walk
5 years old sing the alphabet
7 years old read storybooks
12 years old cook breakfast
20 years old drive a car

● Ss work in groups to write 4 sentences. Ss write 2 sentences with “couldn’t” and 2


sentences with “could” using these sentence structures:
○ When she was __ years old, Thuzar couldn’t ___.

● For example:
○ When she was 1 year old, Thuzar couldn’t drive a car.
○ When she was 7 years old, Thuzar couldn’t cook breakfast.
○ When she was 12 years old, Thuzar could read storybooks.
○ When she was 5 years old, Thuzar could sing the alphabet.
