Suggested Teaching Method.

This set of cards is great for practicing both adjective forms, and the Present Perfect. Its also a good way for
your students to practice their conversation skills.
The cards provide extensive speaking practice of the following structures:
1) James is the richest person Ive ever met.
2) James is one of the richest people Ive ever met.
You can use these cards to practice either (or both) structures. If your students arent so good with the superlatives, its
probably best to stick with the first structure.

Divide the students into small groups of three or four. Give one set of cards to each group. Ask a student in each
group to shuffle the cards, and place them upside-down in a pile.

Students should then choose a card, and ask a question to another student in the group.

The teacher should monitor, but not interrupt, unless really necessary. Take notes of any particularly heinous
English mistakes, and go through it all at the end. It might be best to write a few incorrect sentences on the board
after the activity is over, and encourage self/peer correction.
