Procedure

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

T uses groups of 3 or 4 (depending on the number of attendance) T tells the Ss that they are going to be shown some pictures. They have 1 minuet to guess the context of the lesson and what the lesson will be all about. T tells the Ss that the winner group will be given a prize to motivate the Ss. T has already brought chocolate to the class. T asks the Ss for their guesses. T confirms that the lesson is about abilities in the past and present. T gives the winner group their prize.

Exposure (5-7 minutes) • To expose the students to the target language and use the students ability to deduce the language in focus

T shows the students HOs T puts the students in pairs of two. T tells the Ss that they have 2 minuets to find out the mistakes in the text. T tells the Ss that the one who finishes first will be given prizes. ICQs the Ss' if they can speak Turkish while doing the activity. The answer is; NO. T gives the Ss the HOs. T monitors, but does not get involved. T gives the Ss the answers in FB. and tells the Ss to check their answers.

Exposure and clarification (12-15 minutes) • To get the students to discover the difference in the form when in past and present

T shows the Ss the HO. T tells the Ss that they have 3 minuets to find out if the sentences are about a past ability or a present. Ss give their answers in groups of two. T monitors closely. In FB T gives them the answer key. T asks: which group has done it all correctly? T checks for the meaning and form by asking CCQs: when I say could, am I talking about now or the past? Past When I say I was able to; am I talking about now or the past? the past. T uses the grammar boxes on page 140 to give the Ss the form. T personalizes the process by asking different Ss to complete each box.

Practice the grammar (12-15 minutes) • To provide the students with a challenging gap-fill reading task and to prepare students for speaking stage

T shows the students the Picture of Derek Paravacini,and he gives brief information about him by asking the students questions like; does he play the piano? how can he play the piano when he is blind? T tells the Ss they have 3 minuets to individually fill the gaps with the appropriate word from the box. he also mentions the box to clarify. T monitors the process. The Ss check their answers in pairs. T gives the Ss the answer key. T regroups the Ss in two groups, sitting in opposite sides of the class; A and B T now asks the Ss to read the extract again but in a different fashion: group A finds out the abilities related to the past and group B reads the abilities related to the present. T asks the students to find a partner in the other group to tell them about what they have collected about Derek's life.

Freer practice (13-15 minutes) • To provide students with freer practice of the target language

T introduces the activity by showing the Ss sticking the pictures of the different abilities on the WB. T gives the Ss 30 seconds to think about their memories and to prepare themselves. T then shows the students the chart he has prepared with the names of the activities and the columns entitled; the past, present and the additional information. T demonstrates the activity for clearer instructions. T asks the Ss to stand up and mingle around to find someone has/had the ability to do those things. Ss mingle and ask one another the questions and fill out their forms. T monitors and helps with the question forms. T asks 4 random people to report back in FB.
