Start the lesson by asking how they are today and get answers. Then, say how you are and why. Tell them you were very rich in your dream last night. Then, ask them if they would like to be rich or not and they save or spend their money. After getting their answers, let them work in pairs by asking these questions ''Do you save or spend? Do you think money make people happy?''. Give 2 minutes. After that, ask each of them about their partner. Get answers and then start presenting the target vocabulary.
Make them listen to a part of a song called 'Money, Money, Money'. And ask if they know the song. Tell them you have a friend and she always listens to that song and want them to listen to learn why. Then, start telling a story which includes the target vocabulary. While telling the story, ask some questions to them in order to make it more enjoyable. After telling the story, elicit the meaning of the words and model and drill the word chorally and individually. Write the words on the board and ask if the word is a noun, an adjective or a verb. Finally, write them in phonemic script.
When they get the meaning of the words, divide them into pairs, give pictures and want them to match the pictures with the definitions. Get feedback after they finish. And then, to make it a bit more competitive, divide them into 2 groups and make them stand in 2 lines and read them the meanings of the words or example sentences, the first group who answer first wins.
Ask some questions for the gist of listening. Ask them what the song is mostly about. Get the answers after listening.
Ask them to complete the gaps with the phrases they have just learnt. If they can't do it the first time, play it twice. Check if they did it right or not.
Ask them match the phrases with the meanings. They already know some of the words, but there some words, they might know before or they might just guess it from the context. They work in pairs.
After finishing listening part, work on some words' pronunciation and also their stress. Show them the differences between sounds by drilling chorally and individually, also highlight the stress. Write the words on the board to make them see how they spelt as well.
Want them to write a paragraph by using the words they have just learnt as a homework.
