A. LESSON PROPER

DEGREES OF COMPARISON
Positive Comparative Superlative
Slow Slower Slowest
Tiny Tinier Tiniest
Smart Smarter Smartest
Blue Bluer Bluest
Funny Funnier Funniest
Brisk more brisk most brisk
disagreeable more most
disagreeable disagreeable
Wise Wiser Wisest

1. PRESENTATION
1) The teacher will discuss about the words being underlined in the given
sentences and present to them the lesson adjectives.
An adjective is a word used to describe a noun or pronoun or to give it
a more specific meaning.
EXAMPLE:
She is a pretty girl.

The table is round.

2) Thus, the teacher introduces the three degrees of comparison of
regular and irregular adjectives and the rules in comparing something and
gives more examples. The 3 degrees of comparison consists of positive
degree, comparative degree and superlative degree.

 Positive degree—describes a quality or characteristics; it is the plain

form of the adjective.
Example: Joshua is an intelligent kid.
 Comparative degree—is used to compare two persons, places or
things.
Example: Christine is more intelligent than Joshua.
 Superlative degree—it is used to compare three or more persons,
places or things.
Example: Francis is the most intelligent of all.

Regular Forms
  Modifiers of One and Two Syllables. The first of two rules applies
to modifiers of one or two syllables.
 Use –er or more to form the comparative degree and –est or
most to form the superlative degree of most one- and two-
syllable modifiers.
 Use more or less and most or least to form the comparative
and superlative degrees of all modifiers with three or more
syllables.
EXAMPLES:
Beautiful more beautiful most beautiful
Superfluous more superfluous most superfluous
Soft less soft least soft

 NOTE ABOUT COMPARISONS WITH LESS AND LEAST:

Meaning the opposite of more and most, less and least can be
used to form another version of the comparative and superlative
degrees of most modifiers.

Irregular Forms

IRREGULAR MODIFIERS
Positive Comparative Superlative
Bad Worse worst
far farther farthest
good better best
little less least
much more most

5. The teacher asks more examples from the class of positive, comparative
and superlative using the given words shown on the board.
6. The teacher will conduct games. She will group them according to their
favorite fruit. Then she will inform and instruct them about their game which
is called “Battle Ship” game. The group who will win the game will be
rewarded.

GENERALIZATION:
Adjectives with one syllable form their comparative degree by adding –er, for
the superlative degree -est is added.

For adjectives of two or more syllables, use more or less most or least to
make comparison.

IV- EVALUATION
A. Let the students get ½ cross wise, then fill in the blanks with
the correct degree of comparison of adjective.

C. Lesson Proper
1. The teacher decided to vary her activities just to meet the needs of her
students. She will group them according to their interests and to their learning
styles. The teacher will then give an activity for the auditory learners, for
visual, for global and for kinesthetic learners.
2. For the auditory learners they will listen to a certain song and they are going
to fill the missing adjectives of the lyrics.
3. For the visual learners they will have a Match Maker activity. The teacher will
let the students list of adjectives which describe her single classmate. The
adjectives should describe appearance and personality (both good and bad),
and students should also list likes and dislikes for their classmates. Then,
students go around the room asking questions about their classmates’ single
friends. The matchmaker’s goal is to find someone who is similar to her friend
and who thinks would be a good match. When the students think they have
found a match, they will show it to the teacher the two profiles if they really
match.
4. For the kinesthetic learners. The teacher will give them a manila paper and
some old magazine. Students will cut pictures out of the magazine and paste
it to the Manila paper. Then they will try to call out different adjectives that can
best describe to their pictures. The group that has many adjectives will be the
winner.
 5. For global learners they will have story writing or a composition (the title of
their composition is given by the teacher). The teacher will give them a blank
paper and let the member write at least five sentences before they will pass it
to the other member. After this they are going to read it aloud in front of their
classmates.
