Market Inventory: Grammar and Numbers Presentation

Section role: This presentation supports the 'Mastering the Market Inventory' section by visually introducing and explaining the grammatical structure 'There are' and reinforcing numbers 11-20, while the teacher models and explains the concepts on the board. Slide outline: (1) Title: 'Mastering Market Inventory'; (2) Reviewing Our Inventory: Shows high-quality images of mixed fruits and vegetables from the previous activity, prompting 'What did you count?'. (3) Introducing 'There are': Explains the structure 'There are' for plural counts with examples like 'There are 10 oranges'. (4) Making Words Plural: Illustrates adding '-s' with examples (e.g., 'apple' to 'apples', 'banana' to 'bananas'). (5) Tricky Plurals: Focuses on words ending in 'o' like 'tomato' and 'potato', showing how they become 'tomatoes' and 'potatoes' with clear images. (6) Numbers 11-20: Displays the numerical digit, word spelling, and pronunciation guidance for eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty. (7) Putting it Together: Practice sentences combining 'There are', numbers 1-20, and plural food names. (8) Listening for Stock: Prepares students for the listening activity. Concrete examples, figures, or vocabulary: Images of apples, oranges, bananas, pears, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce; the specific spellings and pronunciations of numbers 11-20. Hooks back to the rest of the lesson: It builds on the informal counting from 'The Mixed-Up Delivery Disaster' and provides the formal linguistic tools needed for students to create their own market stalls in 'Grand Opening: La Feria Escolar'. Closing slide: 'Are you ready to check the market manager's inventory?' This material is part of a English foreign-language class for students in Chile learning English. Regardless of the material's language, the key terms and examples being taught must be written in English, not in the students' native language.
