T tells the ss that we are going to talk about some free time activities. T projects the phrases on the IWB and asks ss if they have ever used the phrases/know about the phrases. ss will do the discussion in pairs. ICQs: Are you going to talk about work or free time activities? Are you going to write something? Mime Game: T demonstrates by gesturing one of the phrases herself and letting the ss guess. T has all the phrases written on small pieces of paper and also displayed on the board. T asks ss to pick one randomly and let others guess the phrase through gestures. T reinforces the pronunciation. ICQs: Are you going to speak? Are you going to show your chit (task) to others? T sets ss in new pairs T tells ss to discuss in their new pairs their 5 favourite things to do on Saturdays. ICQs: Are you going to discuss or write? Are you going to talk about Saturday or Sunday? Are you going to talk about something that you do or wish to do?
T projects the picture of Freddie and Jeanette along with 3 questions to let ss wonder and discuss in pairs: 1. Are they good friends? 2. Where are they? 3. What are they talking about?
T distributes HO#1 and asks ss to fill in the gaps individually while listening to the audio. T plays the audio# 53 from CD#1 and asks ss to listen. T provides FB through peer checking in pairs. T tries to keep it as ss centred as possible.
T distributes HO#2 and plays the audio once again. T guides ss to focus on the things that Jeanette does in her free time. ICQ: Are you going to tick the things that Freddie does in his free time? Are you going to tick things that Jeanette does in her free time? T provides FB through peer checking in pairs.
