Procedure (25-33 minutes)
The Ss are given a list of 15 places in Istanbul. They have to figure out and decide which ones are near and which ones are far. (The ones that are marked as "near" by the Ss are later going to be used in the upcoming tasks.)
The Ss are shown specific places in Istanbul with a favorable character situated in them. They are then asked to make sentences about this situation, using the correct preposition, which will be introduced to them in case they do not come up with it on their own.
The Ss are given handouts. They are then set in pairs and all the pairs asked to do the exercises on the handouts using their newly learned knowledge of prepositions. Another handout is given to the students containing a conversation with missing words. The blanks will then be filled by the students. Afterwards, the Ss will be shown the pictures of the specific locations in Istanbul with that favorable character again, and they will be asked to make a conversations similar to the one on the paper, using the situation in the picture.
