Khoshimova Nodira Lesson for teenagers
Families
Introduction
The goal of this lesson is for Ss to talk about their family. To help them achieve this, they will study family vocabulary and possessive adjectives and the possessive ’s.
Warm-up
Display a picture of a famous family, likely to be known to Ss. Ask Ss what they know about this family (where they are from, what they do, etc.) and perhaps elicit some names of family members. Show and teach the word family tree. Show Ss how the tree shows relationships of marriage and children (but do not teach vocabulary for the relationships at this stage). Tell students that today’s lesson is about families.
Vocabulary
Family 1 Ask students to look at the photos and to complete the family tree with the names of the people in the photos. Go through the answers as a class
Vocabulary checkpoint
Exercise 2
The family tree shows a range of males and females with various jobs. Point out that we don’t usually have gendered titles for jobs and there is no need to say male or female nurse/doctor, etc. Remind Ss to use a/an before job titles. There are a few gendered titles such as waiter/waitress, but these days most people use gender neutral terms wherever possible.

Answers: María – mother José – brother Luisa – brother’s wife Alonzo – son

Exercise 2
Point out the male and female icons in the table. Ask Ss to complete the gaps in the table using the words in the family tree. They only need to put the family word, not me. Students can work alone, then compare in pairs.

Answers: 1 mum 2 father 3 daughter 4 brother 5 wife
Grammar
Explain that we use ’s to show possession either after a person’s name (as in the first example) or after a noun (as in the second). We can also show possession with possessive adjectives. We don’t use ’s with these. Write an example sentence on the board and ask Ss to identify the possessive adjective, e.g. Alice is my sister. Then ask Ss to look at Ex 4b again and use the words in bold to complete the gaps in the grammar box
Exercise 3
Refer students to the family tree in Ex 2 again and ask them to complete the sentences with family words. Complete the first one or two as a class to ensure Ss are clear about what to do, then ask them to continue alone. Ask Ss to compare in pairs before going through the answers. Point out that children is an irregular plural, and doesn’t end in s.
Look at the family tree again.

Exercise 4

Speaking
Tell students they are going to talk about their own families. Ask Ss to find a photo on their phones or in their wallets. If Ss don’t have a photo of everyone together, allow a few minutes for them to choose several photos. If they don’t have any photos, they draw a picture
With weaker classes, model this task by showing and talking about your own family. Encourage Ss to ask questions and drill and correct these before Ss move on to repeat the activity with their own family pictures.
