17. INSTRUCTIONS
Review the use of comparatives with adjectives using slides 2 to 6.
Hand-in slips with adjectives to students. They have to work in pairs. Slides 6 to 14 will move automatically after 1 minute and 30 seconds (that’s the time the pairs have to form a comparative sentence using one of the adjectives provided in the slips – you can have them write the sentences on their notebooks.) And because you don’t have to stand next to the computer to change the slides; you can walk around the class and monitor your students’ production.
