Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will ask the students to tell me what a good way to contact my friend who recently traveled to Canada.

Highlighting (3-5 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I build a brain shape hole to make my students attentive to the word I am teaching by explaining the term without saying it and letting them guess and saying synonyms for the words (rocket science) we say it to tell that something is not easy or difficult to do. (internet piracy) it's an illegal activity to get software without paying money in return (computer literate) We use it to describe somebody to be skillful in dealing with the computer. (labor saving device) machines or inventions that save time and laborers (glued to the screen) we say it to say thast somebody is not doing any thing just looking into the screen
