**Lesson Outline:**
**Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. **Greeting and Warm-Up:** Begin with a brief discussion about what a “home” means to the students. Ask them to share what kind of homes they are familiar with.
2. **Introduction to the Topic:** Show images of different traditional homes around the world (like igloos, yurts, cottages, mud huts, etc.). Briefly describe each one.
**Instruction (15 minutes):**
1. **Adjectives Introduction:**
- Explain that adjectives are words that describe nouns.
- Show examples of adjectives on flashcards and relate them to the images of traditional homes (e.g., "round yurt," "snowy igloo," "muddy hut").
2. **Relative Clauses Introduction:**
- Explain that relative clauses give more information about the noun and usually start with words like 'who,' 'which,' 'that.'
- Provide example sentences:
- "The yurt, which is made of felt, can be found in Central Asia."
- "Igloos, which are built from blocks of ice, are used by the Inuit people."
**Guided Practice (15 minutes):**
1. **Adjective Practice:**
- Give each student a worksheet with pictures of traditional homes.
- Ask them to write sentences describing each home using at least two adjectives.
2. **Relative Clause Practice:**
- Provide sentences with blanks and a list of relative clauses to fill in. Example: "The cottage, _______ (which is located in the countryside), is very cozy."
**Independent Practice (10 minutes):**
1. Have students write short paragraphs describing one traditional home of their choice using adjectives and relative clauses. Encourage creativity and detail.
**Review and Closing (10 minutes):**
1. **Group Sharing:** Invite a few students to share their paragraphs with the class.
2. **Review Key Points:** Recap the importance of adjectives and relative clauses in making sentences more descriptive and informative.
3. **Q&A Session:** Allow students to ask any questions they have about the lesson.
**Homework:**
Ask students to find a picture of a traditional home and write a descriptive paragraph about it, using at least three adjectives and one relative clause. They should bring their work to the next class for sharing.
**Assessment:**
- Monitor students' participation during the lesson.
- Review the worksheets and written paragraphs to ensure that students are correctly using adjectives and relative clauses.
- Provide feedback on the homework assignment for further practice.
**Adaptations for Diverse Learners:**
- Provide additional visual aids or sentence starters for students who need more support.
- Pair students for peer assistance.
- Allow advanced students to write longer paragraphs with multiple relative clauses.
