Tell students that they will be watching a short video clip and to think about the topic of todays lesson while they watch (brainstorming, prediction). Play the video clip. Post-video, ask students what their predictions were. Elicit the words "science fiction" from students. Write the discussion questions on the board: What science fiction films have you seen? What happens in them? Tell students to use present simple tense to narrate the story of the film. Provide a model answer to students verbally and on the whiteboard: "In "Alien", a crew on a spaceship discover they have an alien on board and have to fight the alien to survive." Put students in pairs and tell them to take turns answering the question. Post-activity, have students switch pairs and exchange answers with another partner. Monitor.

Write the contractions on the whiteboard: I'll it'll there'll we'll what'll you'll Break down the form (I will, it will, there will, we will, what will, you will). Emphasize stress. Drill chorally, in groups and individually. Give students the handout . Tell them to match a phrase in Column A with an answer in column B. Put them in pairs and have them compare answers. Provide answers on whiteboard: 1. b 2. a 3. e 4. d 5. c In pairs, have students practice the exchanges (one student says a phrase from column A and the other says the response in column B). Model this activity with a stronger student. When finished, have them switch pairs and do this again. Monitor. Provide feedback.

Tell students that they will now listen to three people speaking (teacher acts out script for the three different characters). Students are to match speakers 1,2 and 3 to three of the topics a-j below. Provide an example on the whiteboard. Put students in pairs to compare their answers, then discuss answers as a whole class: 1. I 2. e 3. f Next, tell students that they will choose a topic from a list of cut out papers. Before they speak, students should spend some time individually preparing and practicing what they are going to say. Students will practice speaking about their topic for one minute. Then students will present their speech in small groups, while one of the other students keeps time and the other looks for errors in pronunciation sentence structure, etc. Model this example with a stronger student (have them time you on their phone while you speak on a topic). Provide some prompts on the whiteboard to get students brainstorming: -What do you see happening to your topic in the future? -What will change and why? -What will stay the same? -How will it affect people and the world? -What are some positive things about the future of it? -What are some negative things? Have students pick a piece of paper (topics should be facedown, hidden). Individually, have them work on developing their ideas. Then, put them in small groups to present their 30 second speech. Monitor and provide feedback. Repeat 2-3x with students in different pairs and provide them with different topics. Recurring errors should be reviewed with WC.

Tell students that they will listen to the teacher read descriptions of the pictures on the handout. Tell students they are to match the descriptions 1-5 to the gadgets A-E. Provide students with the handout and read the descriptions. Put students in pairs and have them compare answers, then put the answers on the whiteboard. Keep students in their pairs. Tell them that they will discuss the following questions (write them on the whiteboard): a. Which of these gadgets would you like to buy? For who and why? Model this activity with a personal example. b. Give students the "Rating Gadgets" handout. Tell students that they will fill in the handout in pairs, discussing which of these gadgets will sell the most. Students are to put the gadgets in order (1= best seller and 5= worst seller). Tell students they are to explain their answer in the chart and write example on the whiteboard: "E is the best seller because it is the most useful because many people lose their keys." Monitor. Provide feedback. Have students switch pairs and compare answers.

Tell students that, in pairs, they will come up with their own gadget to use and will have to practice "selling" this gadget as though it is the best gadget. Provide students with model language on the whiteboard: This is the best gadget you can buy because...... This is useful because..... You need this gadget because.... Also write on the whiteboard the words "description, how it is used, price, where you can buy it" and tell students to include these things in their speech. Give students 5 minutes to work on this. Teacher should circulate and provide feedback at this point, encouraging students to clarify/provide more detail/justify as needed. Teacher can also hand out cut up prompts to keep conversation going and to further develop ideas. Post-activity, put student pairs in a line face to face. They should present their gadget to the other groups until all pairs have heard each other's inventions. Then, students vote on their favourite invention and why. Provide feedback.

The teacher shows students the picture of a computer and tells students to brainstorm some vocabulary that comes to mind when they see the picture. The teacher writes the words on the whiteboard. The teacher then tells the students that they will use the brainstormed vocabulary to discuss the following questions. The teacher writes them on the whiteboard: 1. Do you have a computer at home? 2. What do you use it for? 3. Are you connected to the internet? 4. How often do you use the internet? 5. What do you do online? 6. Do you know any older people (like grandparents) who use the internet? What do they do? 7 .What are some pros (positive things) and cons (negative things) about the internet? Why? Model answers to this activity by giving my opinion. Put students in pairs. Monitor and provide feedback. Have students switch pairs 2-3 times and encourage them to help each other find vocabulary to express their ideas.
