Objectives

• Use comparative adjectives: taller, shorter, bigger, smaller + than.
• Compare classroom objects and classmates with correct sentence frames.
• Ask and answer: "Which is taller?"

Vocab

• taller / shorter: "Tom is taller than Mia."
• bigger / smaller: "The red book is bigger than the blue book."
• than: Required comparator — not "Tom is more tall."

Warm-up (5min)

Hold two pencils — class says comparison sentence. Repeat with books, erasers, cups.

Main Activity (25min): "Compare & Guess"

Station 1: measure two objects with cubes, write sentence. Station 2: partner height compare — say sentence respectfully. Station 3: mystery bag — feel two items without looking, compare by size. Game finale: teacher shows two items — first hand up gives correct comparison sentence.

Wrap-up (5min)

Worksheet: circle taller/shorter picture pair, write one sentence.

Teacher Tips

• Teach -er comparatives only — "more big" is a common L1 transfer error.
• Height compare needs clear class norms: no teasing, factual tone only.
• Starters speaking may ask compare two pictured objects.
