classifying in the context of food and places.

Lesson length: 60-75 mins

Aim: 1. to review adjective order, participle adjectives and compound adjectives
2. to review and extend vocabulary connected with food and drink

Preparation:
n Bring some herbs, spices and unusual fruits into class.
n You will need a copy of the following for each student:
Activity worksheet: Fruit, vegetables, nuts, herbs and spices (Oxford Word Skills Advanced
Unit 20)
Activity worksheet: Adjectives (OPG Advanced Supplementary Exercises Unit 9)
Activity worksheet: Food and you

GRAMMAR REVIEW 1: Adjectives for describing

n Lead-in to the lesson by showing the class the herbs, spices and fruits you have brought. Let the
students feel and smell them, and elicit some adjectives to describe them. Write the adjectives on the
board.
n Give each student a copy of Activity worksheet: Fruit, vegetables, nuts, herbs and spices. Give them a
few minutes to complete exercises 1 and 2.
n Ask the students to turn their worksheets over. Divide the class into teams. Tell the students to listen
carefully as you read out descriptions. The first team to identify and call out the correct fruit,
vegetable, nut, herb or spice gets a point:
l a lovely large oval orange fruit with shiny black seeds inside (papaya)
l very young, white plants (bean spouts)
l a long, papery spice (cinnamon)
n Get the students to turn their worksheets back over. Can they remember the description of the
papaya? Elicit it to the board as an example sentence:

a lovely large oval orange fruit with shiny black seeds inside
n Point out that describing adjectives (adjectives that express perceptions and judgments) usually
follow this order (although this is not the only order):

opinion size physical quality age or time shape colour

n Highlight the example description accordingly:

opinion size shape colour physical quality colour

a lovely large oval orange fruit with shiny black seeds inside

n Elicit some two- or three-adjective descriptions of the items you brought to class or other items on
the worksheet.

1. REVIEW ACTIVITY
n Give each student a copy of Activity worksheet: Adjectives. Put them in pairs to complete exercise 1,
then check the correct answers with the whole class.

GRAMMAR REVIEW 2: Adjectives for classifying

n Point out that there is also a typical order for classifying adjectives (adjectives that express facts). Write
these phrases on the board. Put the students into pairs to discuss which of the phrases have the
correct adjective order:

1 a Victorian recipe book 3 a cooking South Indian metal pot

2 a seating outdoor area 4 a town centre fast food restaurant

Answers: 1 [3] 2 [8] an outdoor seating area 3 [8] a South Indian metal cooking pot 4 [3]

n Classifying adjectives usually follow this order:

Location origin / source material type purpose

n Highlight the example phrases:

origin type source material purpose

1 a Victorian recipe book 3 a South Indian metal cooking pot
location purpose location type
2 an outdoor seating area 4 a town centre fast food restaurant

2. REVIEW ACTIVITY
n Activity worksheet: Adjectives exercise 2: Tell the students they are going to read and complete a
text describing a house. Give them 10 seconds to scan the text and find the answer to this question:
Where is the house located? (Kona, a place on an island in the Pacific ocean) Then give them a few
minutes to complete the text. Let them compare answers in pairs, then check the correct answers
with the whole class.
n Afterwards, ask a few open-class questions, e.g. What do you think the writer means by a ‘Southern
European style’? Can you think of somewhere that has ‘an amazing panoramic view’?

GRAMMAR REVIEW 3: Participle adjectives

n Copy this café sign onto the board:

º CAFÉ º
Home-cooked food, refreshing drinks

© Oxford University Press Photocopiable page 2

 Grammar to go! Lesson Link Language health-check

n Underline the –ed and –ing endings in the two participle adjectives. Clarify which participle adjectives
describe what is done to something or someone:
home-cooked: past participle (-ed) = the food has been cooked at home

and which describe what something or someone does:

refreshing: present participle (-ing) = the drinks refresh you

3. REVIEW ACTIVITY

n Put the students in pairs to complete exercise 3 on Activity worksheet: Adjectives, then check the
correct answers with the whole class.

GRAMMAR REVIEW 4: Compound adjectives

n Ask the class what kind of adjective ‘home-cooked’ is, as well as a past participle adjective (a
compound adjective). Point out that compound adjectives are formed of nouns, adverbs and
adjectives (including present and past participle adjectives) in all different combinations, e.g.:
noun + noun adjective + adjective adverb + adjective

4. REVIEW ACTIVITY
n Activity worksheet: Adjectives exercise 4: Tell the students they are going to read and complete a text
describing an area. Give them 10 seconds to scan the text and find the answer to this question:
What and where is the area? (a failed business area of a town or city in North Africa) Then give
them a few minutes to complete the text with compound adjectives formed from the wordpool. Let
them compare answers in pairs, then check the correct answers with the whole class.
n Afterwards, ask the class questions about their country/countries, e.g.: Do cities in your country have
grand tree-lined avenues? Are there newly-constructed office and apartment buildings that stay
empty for a long time?

5. CONTEXTUALIZED ACTIVITY: FOOD AND YOU

Task Instructions:
A. Divide the class into two groups, A and B. Give Student A worksheets to all the students in group
A and Student B worksheets to all the students in group B. Give the groups about 5 minutes to
complete their questions. Monitor the groups as they work to make sure they all have the correct
answers.
Student A answers: 1 frozen 2 fattening 3 tired 4 highly-spiced 5 ice-cold
6 freshly-brewed 7 deep-fried
Student B answers: 1 appetizing 2 disgusting 3 processed 4 low-fat
5 genetically-modified 6 well-done 7 mouth-watering

B. Regroup the students into AB pairs to interview each other using their questions.
C. At the feedback stage, ask the students to report back on interesting or surprising information they
learnt about their partner.
