Description

In this lesson students will practise introducing themselves using business cards and learn how to use capital letters. They have already worked on business cards, therefore they know the vocabulary and the form. The lesson will start with a matching activity of people and their business cards. Then ss will do an activity in which they circle the correct answer on a given HO. Then they will be given sentences and they will be asked to categorise these sentences based on the usage of capital letters. The following activity will be on use of capitals. Ss look at the business cards and circle capital letters. Then they work in groups and correct the capital letters in the given sentences. Finally they will do a writing activity.

Stage 2 (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

-show the students the HO. Tell them they are going to circle the correct option in the given sentences. Give the HO to the students. Ss do the exercise alone. Then put the ss into pairs and ask the ss to check their answers. Show the answers on a PPT slide for an easier FB.

Stage 3 (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

-Ask ss if they know the difference between "A" and "a". Try to elicit the word capital. Then explain the meaning of capital showing more examples. (eg. B-b; M,m etc) -Write the categories for the use of capital letters on the board. Show ss the sample sentences. Tell them to pick one sentence and stick it under the right category. Give sample sentences to ss. "At the beginning of a sentence: Nice to meet you. For “I”: I’m Felix Hofmann. For countries: I’m from Germany. For cities: I’m from Paris. For names: Hello, my name’s Brigitte Laurent. Titles: Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss Rupert is here.
