📏 Explorers: More Interesting Things

A fully interactive A2 Kids grammar lesson that extends the Comparing unit from short -er adjectives to long adjectives and irregulars. Students begin with four opinion warm-up questions, then study the language in three clear blocks: More + Long Adjective (long adjectives of two or more parts take 'more' in front, plus 'than': football is more exciting than chess, a rainbow is more beautiful than a wall), the -er or more? Big Rule (a table contrasting short adjectives that add -er with long adjectives that take 'more', and the never-do-this warning against 'more bigger'), and Two Special Words (the irregulars good to better and bad to worse, learned by heart, with a reminder that 'worse' already means more bad). Ten key words (interesting, exciting, beautiful, important, popular, difficult, better, worse, more, than) appear in a scrollable table with kid-friendly definitions and examples, and six get detailed review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style Opinion Page — a friendly debate starring Team Compass (Zeynep, Leo, Mia, Kofi) that models more + long adjective and better/worse in natural context, with key phrases highlighted on hover. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions (more, better, worse, beautiful, interesting, bigger) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking Opinion Face-Off with five prompts and a model partner dialogue; a guided 25-45 word writing task with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz mixing more, better/worse, the -er-vs-more rule and two reading-comprehension questions, with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
