Main Aims

  • To provide clarification, review and practice of sentence patterns ('v-ing', 'to infinitive', 'question word') following some of the opinion adjectives in the context of communication/personalised context.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide fluency speaking practice in the form of discussion in the context of expressing opinions about activities that are considered a waste of time.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To recall lesson context and engage students

1. T greets the Ss and commences the session 2. T projects a slide showing Graham and Deniz 3. T asks Ss what they remember about them 4. T plays the audio part of their conversation to avoid any confusion in answering Ex1 and recall the context in order to have maximum engagement from Ss' side

Exposure/Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To introduce the TL to some extent, present MFP, and provoke interest in the TL

1. The context will have already been established by now 2. T forms pairs 3. T gives instructions for Ex 1: There are 3 sentences from Graham and Deniz's conversation that we just listened to/Use the adjectives in the box to complete their opinions/Work with your neighbour/You have 2 minutes 4. Pair check 5. T elicits the answers one by one and introduces MFP as below: Ex 1.1 M: 'What makes you tired when you are on call all the time?'/So 'Being on call is tiring, right?'/Let's see, what else could be tiring? Maybe running a marathon?/'Is working at the weekends also tiring? Excellent!/F: Now let's see what is what in this sentence/Which one was the adjective?/Great!/What is the verb after the adjective?/Nice, what form of the verb do we have? Wonderful (T projects the whole structure)/T performs coral drill in chunks and as a whole Ex 1.2 M: 'What else can be difficult sometimes?'/'Is it also difficult to wake up early in the morning for you?'/F: same procedure/P: same procedure Ex 1.3 M: 'I think it's also amazing how much money some footballers get, right?' (they most probably don't know earn)/'Is it amazing when you watch a football match in the stadium?'/F: same procedure/P: same procedure 6. T highlights the fact that there is not much difference between 'v-ing' and 'to + infinitive' adjective patterns 7. T asks 2 CCQs to ensure understanding: - It's nice to meet you. / It's nice meeting you. - It's awful seeing him everyday. / It's awful to see him everyday. (Note: I used this exercise as a hook/throwing activity to first test their knowledge, and then create curiosity into the TL)

Controlled Practice #1 (6-8 minutes) • To concept check and highlight the TL

1. T forms groups of 4 2. T asks for 4 volunteers 3. T and the students model an answer (T points out the 'it's' contraction) 4. T drills the model sentence 5. T sticks the papers on the board and draws a table around them 6. T distributes the papers and asks groups to put them in the correct order/1 minute 7. T asks each group to come to the front of the class and show their sentence 8. T asks for/gives FB 9. T drills and sticks the sentence on the board in the table 10. T repeats until all groups are finished

Controlled Practice #2 (8-10 minutes) • To provide a practice on the TL and prepare Ss for a more challenging exercise

1. T forms 3 groups 2. T gives instructions for Ex 2a/5 minutes 3. Ss race to finish first 4. T asks the early-finishers to write the answers on WB 5. T asks for WC FB 6. T refers to target sentences in case of difficulties achieving the task (Note: I skipped 2b. I think it's not necessary at this stage.)

Semi-Controlled Practice (3-5 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

1. T gives instruction for Ex 3a: T recycles 'a waste of time' from previous lesson/Choose the ones you think are a waste of time/Work alone/2 minutes/HO 2. T gives instruction for Ex 3b: Add one more activity to each list/alone/1 minute 3. T monitors and gives individual FB if necessary 3. T transits to the next activity (Note: I used this activity to make a base for the freer practice)

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

1. T forms 3 groups: Take your HOs from Ex 3 with you 2. T gives instructions for Ex 4: Discuss and agree on 3 activities which you all agree are a waste of time/You can use your ideas from Ex 3/Give a reason why/Use vocabulary for expressing opinions (last lesson) and 'it's + adjective' sentences we learnt today/Write down your answers/5 minutes/HO 3. T collects the HOs and sticks them on the walls 4. T asks Ss to come and read them/'What do you have in common?' 5. T gives late FB 6. T wishes everyone a good day!
