Get the Ss interested in the topic. Make sure to relate it to the previous lesson. Focus on the task in Grammar Ex.a and get Ss to match Qs with Answers. Ask them to compare in GW/ PW before W/C FB.
In Pairs, Ss work on Grammar Ex.b ask them to compare in GW/ PW before W/C FB. Elicit the difference in form, meaning and use in both tenses.
Now ask Ss to work in Pairs on Grammar Bank Ex.a P.135 Ss work in Pairs to correct the mistakes in their sentences. Ask them to compare with other PW/ GW before W/C FB.
To prepare for freer practice, use speaking Ex.a to demonstrate the activity. Draw a circle on the board and write info about yourself. Give Ss time to write true information in as many of the circles as they can. Go round the class making sure they have completed atleast 6 of the circles. Don’t forget to set time limits.
To demonstrate Ex.b encourage Ss to ask you questions about your circle. Elicit “How long have you…?” Put Ss in PW and ask them to choose 1 of their partner’s circles and him/ her about the information in it. Don’t forget to set time limits. Monitor and take notes of any errors. Take some general FB and if you have time do some delayed error correction at the end.
