Procedure (37-53 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

With the help of materials- pictures on WB, and theme of the previous lesson, T. through open discusion with the SS, will set the lesson context- King Arthur, the Legend of Camelot.

Exposure (6-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text

T. asks SS to gist read the short text, and decide when the story is happening- is it past, present, or a future, and asks for a reasons of their decisions- eliciting key words from students: 'used to' and 'would'.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

T. asks individual SS to write examples with the key words on the WB, and to underline them.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

SS discussing what those key words mean- it is past habit or actions which no longer occure. Meaning CCQ: 1. Did it happen in the past? Y 2. Will it happen in the future? N 3. Do we say 'used to' to talk about habitual actions? Y 4. Do we say 'would' to talk about states? N Form: used to+ infinitive would + infinitive

Controlled Practice (5-8 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

SS work individually, and try to complete the Task 1- fill in gaps with 'used to' or 'would', T. checks the answers with the whole class.

Semi-Controlled Practice (5-8 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

SS work in pairs, and complete the Task 2- cross out the forms which are not possible, and share answers with the whole class

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

T asks students to work in 3 groups- counting 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, etc. Each group try to write a short story (maximum 6 sentences) and use the target language- group with the highest counting of key words is the winning group.
