Articles
Students began class by asking each other and responding to this question. Listed are some of their answers. After sharing in pairs they shared with the large group.
Next, I presented some examples of when we use the indefinite articles a and an, as well as when we use the definite article the.
Students learned that we use a and an when we are speaking about something for the first time and we use the when we are talking about something specific (talking about it the second time or talking about something that there is only one of - like the sun for example).
Then we did an activity where students chose an object out of a bag and stated what it was using the correct article. To make it easier I had all the names of the objects already written on the board. That way, if they didn't know what the name of the object was, they could look at the list and guess.
The list looked like this at the beginning of the activity.
The list looked like this at the end of the activity.
To practice, students did this activity in pairs. I handed out one sheet per pair so that they would actually work together.
