There are some sentences on board. The teacher explains to the students that some of them are true and some of them are false. Make the students guess which one is true and which one is false. Here I wrote some sententes. They are all about me. -I used to hate chocolate when i was a kid. What do you think? Is it true or false? -I love shopping. What do you think? Is it true or false? -I am a professional soccer player. What do you think? Is it true or false? -I am a fan of Tarkan. What do you think? Is it true or false? PS:Make sure you use your gestures and put some emotions into it so as to trick them.
The teacher asks students to write 10 sentences about themselves. Five sentences will be true and five sentences will be false. While they are writing sentences,teacher monitor and write down some of the mistakes and make error correction afterwards. The teacher demonstrate what is next with WC standing up. The teacher holds a paper in hand,some trues and false written about her. She asks one student if it is true or not and she then asks to the next students. Ps: Make sure you have some empty extra papers to give them.
This will be a modal for the main activity. We can say a bridge between the exposure and the main writing activity. The teacher will start sticking pictures one by one to the board and will elicit from students the whole paragraph as a modal for the main writing activity. The teacher puts The title is ''One Day in My Life'' on board. Make the students believe in what is written on the board as a story and later on explain to them some of them are true and some of them are false. Tell them you made them up and now they should guess which one is true and which one is false. ''This is my one day but in 10 years'' Now the teacher asks students to write one day in their lifes in 10 years. ICQ-What will you write? -Your one day. When? In 2023. -Will it be a real or you will make your own story up? Yes.
The teacher tells the students to write One day in your life in 10 years. Teacher puts a song from Enya(Caribbean Blue). While they are writing,teacher writes down the mistakes for the FB part. (and courage them by telling them it is a good and interesting day. Tell them after they are done. Volunteers will be asked to read out loud. If there is no one wanting to share. Encourage them. If it doesn't work, do some error correction on board.
While the students are writing, teacher monitors students and write down the mistakes and write them on board after the activity.
