Procedure (35-44 minutes)
-T uses pictures from different weddings to have a little brainstorming about who the people on those pictures are as a WC. -Using the pictures, T elicits different relationships among those people and smoothly introduces new vocabulary to the Ss.
-T puts Ss in pairs and gives them a picture of a wedding from the book. -T asks Ss to pick one person in the picture to describe but their partners should be the one guessing who that person their partner is talking about. (3-4 minutes) (give an example)
-T projects photographs on the WB and introduces new vocabulary to the Ss. (3-4 mins) -T asks Ss what they have learned so far and writes those words on the WB. -T also writes four prefixes (ex-, step-, grand-, -in-law) on the WB and asks Ss to produce different words using those prefixes in groups. -T takes a WC feedback.
-T provides Ss with 2 general questions about the dialogue. -T tells Ss that they are about to listen to a dialogue between Dom and Charlie and that they need to listen to it to have a general idea about the dialogue. -T puts Ss in pair and has them answer those two questions. -T provides Ss with a true/false exercise. -T tells Ss that they will listen to the dialogue once more, but this time they need to listen to it carefully in order to catch the details. -T puts Ss into groups of 4 and asks them to answer the true/false statements. -T goes over the true/false exercise very quickly so everybody has the right answers. -T gives Ss jumbled sentences from the listening text and asks them to put those key sentences in the right order of the event and makes them to listen to the dialogue one last time. -T gives the answer key.
-T mixes the groups and has everybody to have a new group. -T asks Ss to talk in groups about a wedding they had been to.
