What is his name? What is his wife’s name? How old is she? How many children have they got? How many people are there in Richard’s family? What is his daughter’s name?\u003Cbr>Students now practise in pairs with the stronger students with literacy asking the questions. (Display on board or distribute handout.)\u003Cbr>Review with some pairs performing for the whole class. | Handout Picture of The Jones Family |\n| Grammar focus\u003Cbr>Demonstrate how possessive adjectives work as other languages can be different, eg his =belongs to him. Also point out the possessive ’s on the board.\u003Cbr>X is Richard’s oldest son Maria is Richard’s wife. |  |\n| Family vocabulary\u003Cbr>Display a fuller family tree on board or as a hand out. Now teach the full range of common family vocabulary. | Handout of\u003Cbr>family tree |\n\n\n| You can ask students about their own families if you are confident it will not cause distress.\u003Cbr>Elicit with How many …have you got? I’ve got two children. I haven’t got any daughters. I’ve got three sisters etc. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Numbers in context\u003Cbr>Review ages of Annie and Caleb and their aunt and uncles.\u003Cbr>This will give you the stems to practise the numbers which may be new to them. Fifty-one, fifty-two etc.\u003Cbr>Fun quiz\u003Cbr>Cut out from newspapers or bring up on interactive board faces of famous people. You need to know their ages and students must guess.\u003Cbr>Ask How old is he/she? Higher/lower etc. This can be followed by some quick-fire practice of the numbers just pointing at random numbers from a chart. | Handout of\u003Cbr>family tree |\n| Review with freer practice of pretend families\u003Cbr>Demo whole class with Richard’s family with confident students. My name is Richard. This is my wife, and this is my son. The next student says My name is Carlos. This is my mother. She is 38 years old. The next student says This is my husband. This is my sister Rosa. She is 6 years old. The next student says This is my younger brother Daniel.\u003Cbr>Each group has a picture of a family and each student within the group is oneof the people in the photo. This gives them the opportunity to use mother, brother, sister etc in context.\u003Cbr>If time allows, they could join up with another “family” to introduce themselves. | Freer practice family images |\n| Cultural issues\u003Cbr>This topic may be rather upsetting for students who are here without their families; for example, because they have had to move here for work. If you have students who are asylum seekers or refugees, great sensitivity is needed as they may well have lost family members or have been separated from them.\u003Cbr>Family vocabulary varies between cultures\u003Cbr>• Point out cousin is only used for the nuclear family, not for anyone who comes from your village.\u003Cbr>• Similarly, uncle and aunt are not used by adults as a term of address to indicate respect.\u003Cbr>• You NEVER ask a British person their age unless they are trying to buy age restricted items.\u003Cbr>For the freer practice, you could choose famous or imaginary families according to the interests of your group. |  |\n\nSome suggestions.  \nDavid Beckham-Wife Victoria with four children.
