🤝 My Best Friend
In this reading-based lesson, students read paired texts where Ella and Marcus write about each other for a school magazine. The texts naturally model comparatives (taller, more outgoing, better), superlatives (the funniest, the smartest, the most patient), and 'as...as' / 'not as...as' structures. Students learn 14 personality adjectives, comparative/superlative formation rules (short, long, irregular), and emphasis with 'much'. Includes a comparative matching game (8 pairs), quiz, fill-in-the-blanks, and a writing task describing their own best friend.
