Everybody, look at the board.
Read the words out loud: which, that, whom, where, when…..
Now, I’m going to let you listen a song and check the lyrics.
The song and today’s class will be about relative pronouns.
Now, everybody get into groups of 4. You can pick your own group.
I think you can already understand the sentence: “The streets get hot.”
And now, I’m going to show you an example of what you have to do in this exercise:
I am going to add relative pronouns to the sentence. For example:
The streets where I live get hot. – Or – The streets get hot when July comes.
Do you understand how to add relative pronouns to a sentence now? Is anybody confused and need more examples?
[Next after waiting to see if anyone is confused -]
Good. Now, let me give you the sentence you are going to add words to.
“The building is tall”
Don’t worry about your mistake and you don’t need to add in full relative clauses.
However, in your groups, add in as many full relative clauses as you can.
[After the groups finish]
Let’s compare your additions with those of the other groups.
[After the groups are finished]
Now, I’m going to give you an assignment to reinforce our understanding of relative pronouns:
“My sister is tidy.”
Using relative pronoun, make 10 sentences.
Thank you !!!
