respectively.

PERFORMANCE EVIDENCE: Students can use language
creatively and appropriately by adjusting lexis, phrases and
grammatical resources in order to produce meaningful,
relevant and clear texts (recipe, article, conversation) when
ordering meals, when discussing food and drink, and when
giving recipes.
REFLECTION ON LANGUAGE: Students notice that a
certain quantity of things that in general are uncountable (e.g.
flour, coffee, sugar, water, etc.) is expressed using a quantifier
followed by of and an uncountable noun (e.g. two spoons of
sugar, a pinch of salt, four cups of coffee, etc.) and use such
language features appropriately.

POSSIBLE FOLLOW UP:

For further practice, once students have made the pairs, have them ask and answer questions using Where can I
get…?
For example:
Where can I get a box of chocolates? In the supermarket

IDEAS FOR EVALUATION: Ask students to write a supermarket list for their houses. Focus on meaning (ask them to
think of real possibilities for their homes) and in use (of countable and uncountable nouns and the uses of quantifiers).

You can use the questions and answers in the follow up to evaluate students’ oral performance. Focus on the use of
quantifiers with uncountable nouns.
