Baby and Adult Names for Domestic Animals: Vocabulary

(TESOL Materials--Animals, Comparative Adjectives)

* Slideshow: slides, pub (I used this slideshow to present the vocabulary, and also to do a board race.  I also print them out and use them as materials for quiz quiz trade.)

[Note: This vocabulary is based on the vocabulary from pages 124 and 125 of Oxford Picture Dictionary for the Content Areas.  But I believe this material could also be used independently for any lesson on animal vocabulary, so I'm posting it here.
Additional note: There are also some pages in the second story book that are also reproduced in the slideshow  which are suitable for lessons on comparative sentences.]
