I- Presentation:
I ask four Ss to come to the blackboard, one of them is wearing a blue jacket, then I write the following sentences on the blackboard: The student who is in blue is my best friend.
After that, I ask three students to get back to their seats except the student who is in blue, then I write the following example:
The student, who is in blue, is my best friend.
After having the two examples written on the blackboard, I ask the class the following questions:
1- What is the difference between both examples?
Once Ss have finished stating their ideas, I explain the situation and then I complete the following chart all together with them, so that my students could be able to differentiate restrictive relative clause from non-restrictive relative clause.
Restrictive relative clause
Non-restrictive relative clause
- Define, restrict and limit the subject / noun.
-They are important.
-Can’t be omitted.
-No commas between the noun and the relative clause.
-We can omit the relative pronoun.
- Add information to the noun.
- They are not important.
- can be omitted without using any confusion.
- Commas between the subject and the relative clause.
- Relative pronoun can’t be omitted. II- Check understanding:
At this point, I’m going to ask my students to read the given examples and decide whether or not to add commas giving the reasons why, of course. During this stage I’ll discover

References: Some exercises are taken from S’s book. Reflections Going through the stages of the lesson, it seems that the vast majority of the students have understood and grasped the targeted structure – the relative clauses.
