Objectives:
- to practise in reading skills ( reading to confirm expectations, reading for specific information,
reading for general understanding)

- to develop students ability to communicate freely and spontaneously in the activity using
possessives
Warm-up activity: Chatting in English at the beginning of the lesson, T creates an English
language atmosphere, establishing contact between her and SS, and helps SS to feel relax.
Checking the previous knowledge: T checks SS homework encouraging SS to focus on
who/whom/which words from the text Those magnificent men in their flying machines they
had to read and translate.

Presentation: T asks SS to open their books at page 34 and to read and look very
carefully at the text again. The activity is a good opportunity for the teacher to revise knowledge
about possessives.
Attention getter: Hold up a pen and say Jennifers pen . Ask Whos pen is this? The class
will answer Jennifers.
Discuss how the apostrophe is like a comma in the air, or a hook that will drop down and take
ownership of a noun or pronouns. Talk about how ownership means to possess.

Teaching Instruction:
Use stickers to place on index cards. Write names of students on the index cards using the
crayons. Give students crayons. They will be asked to use any personal pronoun possessives that
are applicable to the sticker in a sentence.
For example students should identify personal possessive pronouns like my, her, his, your, their
and its.
Give students a specified time in order to write their sentences. Once you call time students
should put their crayons down. In random order teacher can read the index cards.
It indicates ownership (possession) and it is formed, in its simplest case,
by adding an apostrophe and an S to the word that indicates the owner. Do
not confuse with the similar looking but vastly different contraction of is into
's.
