Procedure (48-61 minutes)
Teacher will show visuals of well known game shows in Turkey and will have a short whole class talk on what a game show is, what type of questions can be seen in a game show.
Teacher will pre-teach some vocabulary to help students understand the text easily. Teacher will try to elicit the words "contest, contestant, roar, average" from students and will provide the words if they cannot come up with it.
Students will listen to the first part of the track to understand the rules of the contest and will answer 4 questions while listening. This should not be difficult for them as the topic will be previously discussed in the lead-in part. They will first check answers as pairs and then a whole class check will be done.
Teacher will go over the first 2 questions to ensure students understand the use of comparatives. Next, students will work in pairs once again and answer the questions as T/F. Finally, they will listen and check their own answers and will take note of the reasons. A whole class check will be done and the teacher will ask which was the most interesting information for them.
Teacher will form groups of 4 and will explain that as a class they are going to prepare their own contest. She will explain the rules; each group will write 3 questions in 10 minutes, they will be open ended or T/F questions. Those questions will be collected into a bowl, then each group will take turns answering a question they draw. The winner will get a suprise. This activity will be carried on to the next lesson as there won't be enough time in this lesson.
