Comparisons and working online

Comparisons; comparative and superlative

1. If the word has:..... one syllable
                                .....two syllables ending at -y, -le, -ow, of -er (with the emphasis on the first                                                                                                                                             syllable)
                                   then you use -er and -est

        large- larger- the largest
        clever- cleverer- the cleverest
        handy - handier- the handiest

2. Longer words:... more - and most -
expensive - more expensive - the most expensive

What are the comparative and superlative of handy.....

1. handyer - the handyest
2. handier- the handiest

1. more exquisite - the most exquisite

2. yellower - the yellowest

Video exercise

Video length: 1-2 minutes. NOT LONGER!

Video subject: presenting your school, interview or other (appropriate) subject of choice.

Video structure: greeting, introducing yourself/group and the subject, followed by other content.

Student guide:

1. Prepare a plan/script, which the teacher will check and approve.

2. Shoot the video and send a link to it to your teacher. At this point the recipient is still a mystery. Neither do we know when you may expect a reply (may be after the course even).

3. Use a cell phone to make the video. Make sure you appear on it. If you include other people, ask for their permission. In public places you are generally allowed to film people from afar without permission.

4. Upload the video to a streaming service of your choice, such as your school cloud, YouTube, iCloud, or any other service that allows you to get a copiable link to the video, which the teacher can forward to a recipient.

5. NB! Make sure the link shared is viewable , not private.

Tips for the video

- introduce yourselves (name, age, hobbies, etc.)
- tell something about your education (how long is it, what do you learn)
- inform the students about your school (give them a short tour for example)
