Taboo Game (link: http://www.slideshare.net/phricee/powerpointtaboo ) 3. Name that Superhero (The Avengers Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIR8Ar-Z4hw ) Review/Development, and Time A. Review ( 5 to 7 minutes) PowerPoint from last Meeting 1. Show examples of restrictive clauses 2. Answer some assessment items 3. Show example of non-restrictive clauses 4. Answer some assessment items B. Taboo Game(7 to 10 minutes) 1. Instruction: Students will get into pairs. The students goal is to describe the entity on the PowerPoint without using the words displayed. The student has to use adjective clauses to accomplish this task. The PowerPoint and the taboo words will only be visible to the student. The other student will guess the entity based on the description of the other student. The switching will occur after every 2 minutes or until the other student guesses the entity. 2. Review and evaluation of the activity What challenges did you encounter doing this activity? Technology Component Laptop PowerPoint The Avengers trailer (YouTube:

C. Name that Superhero 1. Show The Avengers trailer 2. Warm-up questions Do you have a favorite superhero in the trailer? If you could have any superpowers, what would it be and why? 3. Restrictive clause activity Write descriptions of the superheroes using adjective clauses with the superheroes as objects. Ex. The superhero who has the Bat Mobile is Batman. 4. Non-Restrictive clause Use the same characters and use them as subjects to form non-restrictive adjective clauses. Ex: Batman, who wears a black suit, rides the Bat mobile. Philosophical Justification Since we established the definition, uses, and forms of adjective clauses in the last meeting, I believe that doing activities that would reinforce these concepts in an enjoyable way will be better.
