1 Greet Ss, check the classroom arrangement, fill in the register 2 T pretends not to know famous Turkish singer Tarkan and asks Ss` help to find out. `Who is he? Is he Spanish? Does he live in Istanbul? Does he go home by bus? or on foot? T writes on the WB model sentences (He lives in Istanbul, He goes home by car, He is a rock singer)
1 Predict who the teenagers in the pictures are: T elicits`Look at these pictures. Who can you see? How old is he/she? What is his/her nationality? Is he/she happy? What is that (medal) called? Where does he/she live?` T writes some of the info on the WB.
1 T asks Ss to match the texts 1-3 to the pictures A-C in pairs (PW) (HO ex 1) (T writes picture A__ B__ C__ on the WB to help the comprehension of the task) Ss write the answers on the WB. 2 T groups Ss in small groups and assigns different questions (HO ex 2) Each group gives the answers to the rest of the class. T is silent unless needed.
1 (Information gap) Each Ss gets a different question about the text. In groups of 3, in turns one reads his/her question, the others find the answer and write it on their papers. SET 1 (green Qs-text 1): Has Chen got a pet? Is Chen a good runner? Does Chen play the guitar? (extra question: Does Chen go to school on foot?) SET 2 (red Qs-text 2): Is Merve Turkish?

Do Casey and Marc go to school on foot? (extra question: Do Casey and Marc love pets?) 2 T asks Ss to write under each character 2 positive sentences (if time allows: otherwise T is going to give FB).
