B. Before the Lesson: Preliminaries
Task 1- Review: What’s in the box?

 The teacher calls a volunteer to take a peek into the mystery box. This volunteer
describes the object in the box and lets the rest of the students guess what it is. Clues are
given in the form of adjectives.
 The teacher facilitates the activity and asks the students to recall the definition and
functions of nouns and adjectives. Then, she briefly gives the learning objective.

Task 2- Drill/Elicitation: Word Train

 The students choose 5 representatives from their

group to play the game. The 5th member stays at the back
and writes a sentence out of the words that will be given by
his/ her members. Each group receives a train with an image
and follows these steps:

1st member writes on the 1st wagon the image or object in the picture.

2nd , 3rd and 4th member list one adjective of the object written on the 1st wagon

As soon as the 4th member finishes the word, they will show the word train to their 5th
member.
 5th member (who is at the back) constructs one sentence out of the words on the train
and raise his/her whiteboard once finished.

Target Questions:

 What are the words you used to describe the picture? (ADJECTIVES)
 What do you notice with the number of adjectives used in the sentence? (more
than one)
 Do you think there should be an order to follow when using multiple or series
of adjectives in a sentence? Why or why not?

C. During the lesson:

Task 3 - Presentation: The Order of Adjectives

Say: “In English, it is common to use more than one adjective before a noun. When you use
more than one adjective, you have to put them in the right order, according to their type.

The teacher shows the YouTube video titled “The Order of Adjectives”. Each student receives
a worksheet to answer about the video and is reminded to follow the standards in listening/ viewing.
Interactive discussions on the order of adjectives ensue.

Task 6 - Generalization

1. When there are multiple consecutive adjectives modifying the same noun, in what
order should those adjectives be placed?
2. Why is it essential to know the correct order of adjectives used in a series?

“In describing a noun there is always one or more adjectives. When using one or
more adjectives it should be in the right order. This guides us in speaking and writing
English soundly. Here is an acronym for you to remember the correct order of adjective: N-
0-S-A-S-C-O-M-P.”
