(make in the present and in the past tense) Let students underline the verb in all three sentences. Then underline the word that comes right after that verb (me). Ask, What does this word tell us? (It tells who had the feeling-me, her, etc.) Circle the ending of each sentence. Get a student to come to the blackboard and point to the circled words that are adjectives and read these words to the class (tense, sad).
Other students repeat. Then let students make up similar sentences with the verb make that talk about feelings and have adjective at the end. Write on the blackboard:
makes me . Let students work alone. Then ask some students to read their sentences.
S1: A quiet place makes me sleepy.
S2: Loud noise makes me tense.

And note any other word or sentence you don’t understand. Read in context, guessing their meanings from the other words around them. Let students read the article again for comprehension.
Ask a student to read the instructions aloud to the class. And let students look at the example. Then ask students to match the correct meanings with the correct words and expressions. Remind students to look at the story again for extra help. Give them one or two minutes to do the work.
