Procedure

Stage 1 (6-7 minutes) • To introduce the lesson and do a lead in exercise

I will introduce myself and I will tell the students that we are going to do a reading and a couple of exercises about some numbers. For the warm up exercise I will use the teachers book and do an exercise from it. I will draw a big grid on the board and i will give each student one copy of it. i will ask them to write the letter i say to the box i say (matching) (e.g. In box no 5 write the letter K). when finished i will have students work in pair to check their answers. then i will give whole class feedback and do drilling of the numbers

Stage 2 (6-7 minutes) • To encourage the students engage in class and teach correct order of numbers

i will divide students into groups of 4 or 5 and i will give each group 10 pieces of paper with random numbers written on them. i will ask the students to keep the papers faced down until i finish giving instructions. i will tell them to have a look at their cards within their group for 10 20 seconds then come up to the board and place them in correct order. first group finishes wins.

Stage 3 (6-7 minutes) • to expose students the pronunciations of the numbers

i will read the numbers out from the Vocab exercise 3 and i will have students write them down. i will let them check in pairs before i give the answer in the whole class feedback. then i will read the answers out and write them on board. i will drill every number and do extra drilling on problematic numbers as 14//40 13//30 etc.

Stage 4 (10-12 minutes) • to teach students meanings of the given words through a reading exercise

before giving the text i will write down the words Common, Lucky, Unlucky and Sequence. i will match pictures with each word and try to keep it as simple as possible to make them easier to understand as all of the words are abstract words. i will ask ccqs. for example is it common to sea snow in winter? // is it lucky if i find money in my pocket etc. to check if they have the general idea

Stage 5 (5-6 minutes) • to do a vocabulary activity in group work through the reading text

i will write down the numbers 8,3,13 and 1 from the reading texts on the board. i will divide students into groups of 4 or 5. i will give them paper stating examples from the text related to a specific number on the board. i will have them match the papers with the numbers on the board. first group finishes wins

Stage 6 (5-6 minutes) • to encourage students to speak through culture related questions

i will encourage the students to speak by asking the questions from the coursebook. i will start with lucky numbers i will ask students if they have any lucky numbers. then i will move onto cultures. i will ask about special/ lucky numbers in Turkish culture.
