Main Aims

  • To enable students to understand the meaning of the second conditional tense and give students opportunity to practice the TL within the context of a poem about how things could be different.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide students practice of reading for general understanding

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (5-7 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Present picture of man on PPT. In PW, think/talk about this man. What's he thinking about? How does he feel? FB, Ss write idea on the WB in brainstorming format. Present pictures of man + story pictures on PPT. In PW, think/talk about how these pictures relate to this man. FB, Ss change or add to their predictions on WB.

Exposure (5-6 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Tell students you're going to read the poem about the man now. Hand poem out. Read poem aloud. PW - students talk about the poem vs. their predictions

Highlighting (3-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

What do you think of the man's poem? Is he happy? Is this man alive? Yes, he's writing this poem. What does he want to do? Live life over. Can he do his life over? No What kind of sentences does he use to express this? How did you know this is how he felt? If / would Have students find an example in the reading and write on WB Point out if / would and then ask students to find the verb and identify the tense If + past simple ..... would + bare infinitive

Controlled Practice (5-7 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Display WKST on PPT, students work in PW to fill in the blank and create sentences using second conditional tense. FB, students write answers on WB

Clarification (3-3 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language in question form

If I want to use this tense to make a question, what would it look like? Use WB to write slowly and elicit from Ss the question form. If you were rich, would you buy a private island? If you were rich, what would you do? Elicit answers from Ss - maybe have them write a couple on the WB

Semi-Controlled Practice (5-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice
