GRAMMAR TEACHING ACTIVITIES
UNIT 11 : FOOD AND DRINKS
NOTICING
Grammar Point : I’m hungry \ thirsty \full. How many
apples are there ? , How much water is there ? . There are a lot of apples.
There are some apples. Basic vocabulary
about food and drinks such as milk, water, bread, egg.
Activity : Demonstration, listening to a song
and singing aloud, watching slides
Aims: Students will learn new food and drink vocabulary and they
will be able to say food and drinks in English. They will differentiate between “some” and “a lot of”, “how much” and “how many” .
Materials : Big flashcards, Power Point slide
show, videos, board
Procedure : The teacher starts to demonstrate
flashcards of some food and drinks such as eggs, apples, carrots, milk, etc.
During demonstration, s/he says names of the food and drinks. For instance,
while showing the picture of eggs she
says - “
Eggs! There are eggs! Repeat after me, eggs!” and then she adds “some \ a
lot of” into sentences.
In order to show the difference between them,
the teacher takes two pictures of the same food
or drink but one of the picture has some and the other one has a lot of
the same food\drink. For example, s/he raises the picture in her
left hand and says -“ there are SOME potatoes” and raise the other hand
-“ there are A LOT OF potatoes”. She uses intonation, gesture and mimics to emphasize “some and a lot of”. Then in order to give “I’m hungry \ thirsty \full” forms, she uses two songs. Firstly, students listen to songs and then sing together, they act out while saying “I’m hungry.” After these, the teacher shows Power Point slides that include “how much\how many”. S/he also uses question and answer technique to make students predict which one to use “how much” or “how many” in given sentences on the slides. After students meet the new language forms, structuring part starts.
STRUCTURING
Grammar Point : How many\ much (apples,
milk,potatoes, water, etc.) are\ is there?, There are\ is some\ a lot of potatoes, apples, etc.
Activity : Hand puppet activity.
Aims: Students will have a chance to
practise and manipulate the language forms; “How many\ How much, some\ a lot
of” in a communicative and enjoyable way
thanks to using hand puppet. Using
puppets is important for students because it removes their affective filters. Thanks to puppets they feel relaxed and they will be able to act out.
Materials : Power Point slide, children’s
hands!, washable pens.

Procedure : The teacher explains the activity
and wants their students to make a hand puppet. She presents how to make it on
a slide. Students draw faces on their hands and raise and lower their thumb to
make the puppet speak. The teacher gives a ready made dialogue on a slide.
Students come to board and act out the dialogue with their hand puppets. The
teacher starts with volunteers. The dialogue is :
Student A:
Hello, how are you ?
Student B:
Fine thanks, you?
Student A:
Fine, thank you. What is this?
Student B:

PROCEDURALIZING
Grammar Point : How many\ How much (apples,

are some tomatoes, a lot of potatoes in my picnic list. Are there any
apple in your picnic list?
- Yes, there are some apples in my picnic
list. How much tea is there in your picnic list? Etc.
Aims : The aim is to make students use what
they have learned in a contexualised,
communicative way. They produce and make the language form on their own and
interact with their pairs.
Materials: Pen and a sheet, Power Point slide.
Procedure : The teacher wants their students to prepare
a picnic list. Students note down some food and drinks and prepare some
questions individually. The teacher gives an example of a picnic list on a
Power Point slide to clarify the activity. After preparing their own lists and
some questions to ask , they study with their partners. They ask each other questions which they have noted
down earlier such as
- “How
many\ How much tomatoes, water are\is there in your picnic list?” and give
answers according to their own picnic list.
After they have finished, teacher
wants some partners to act out their dialogues. Then, they come and act out
their dialogues in front of the class with their partners. After this activity,
the teacher asks class some questions
such as
- “Did you enjoy the lesson\activity?, What have we learned today?” etc. to evaluate their learning situation and ends the lesson.
