Introduction
Recently, robots argued over who was faster, smarter and more productive. They wanted to find out whose performance is the most outstanding. Thus, they decided to test themselves and choose the winner. But since it is hard to assess themselves, the robots asked students to judge the competition. Are you up to the challenge?
To become a professional referee, it is necessary to review the degrees of comparison of adjectives, paying particular attention to exceptions, as well as to the use of comparative constructions.
Task
Using the websites listed below and other relevant sources of your choice, you will
- Review comparative and superlative adjectives.
- Enrich your vocabulary with new adjectives.
- Be able to use proper forms of adjectives in combinatorics problems.
- Create an Order Logic problem.
Process
Process
- Look through each of the sources to review comparartive and superlative adjectives, explore the exceptions and take notes. Learn some new adjectives using Quizlet; this will help you on the Final Test.
- Do the parctice tasks to check their knowledge.
- Once you are confident in your skills, you will test your skills in gap fill exercise (Final Test) and create your own problem.
- At the next lesson the problem you created will be offered to your groupmates.

7 -The student demonstrates a basic understanding of comparative and superlative adjectives and prepositions of time and place, can use them in the final test with some mistakes (3-4) and has some difficulties with writing an Order Logic problem using this grammar.
8 -The student demonstrates a basic understanding of comparative and superlative adjectives and prepositions of time and place, can use them in the final test with some inaccuracies (2) and is able to write an Order Logic problem using this grammar.
9 -The student demonstrates a good understanding of comparative and superlative adjectives and prepositions of time and place, can use them in the final test with little inaccuracy (1) and is able to write an Order Logic problem using this grammar.
10 -The student demonstrates a thorough understanding of comparative and superlative adjectives and prepositions of time and place, can use them in the final test without any mistakes and is able to write an Order Logic problem using this grammar.
Conclusion
The competition among robots is over. The winner is announced. And now the referees (students) with mastery over comparative and superlative adjectives can create order logic problems using proper vocabulary.
