A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or imagined answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.

  1. Read the glasses-and-pen exchange while pointing to near and farther objects.
  2. Ask the desk and across-the-room questions, matching this/that with is and these/those with are.
  3. Play the object-guessing task, using questions and pointing rather than naming the answer.

Support and extension

Arrange clear near/far groups. Extend with Which one?; distance depends on the speaker's viewpoint.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
