Procedure (41-55 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Exposure (5-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Clarification (10-12 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

in this stage to clarify the meaning i will draw a time line on the board and i will involve the students by asking CCQ questions e.g.( when did these actions happen? past, future or present?past. In this one sentence, how many actions( tenses) are there? 2 are the actions finished? no ) Then by the help of my students( inductive) I will write the structure of each sentence.Some new verbs and parts of the sentences on the board will be drilled by the whole class and some individuals.

Controlled Practice (10-12 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

i will ask my students to do the exercise b on page 129 in the grammar bank. I will tell them to get help from their classmates if they have any problem answering and then check their answers with each other, after that I will check the correct answers by the help of my students.

Free Practice (12-15 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

in this stage i will ask my students to listen to an audio( page 14, file 41) and make a sentence according to the book using past continuous and past simple in pairs. And if there is time, some of the sentences that my students made will be drilled by the whole class.
