Teacher will write the names separately on the WB and will them ask them to predict their age . He will then write a couple of sentences to put the class in context . Ex : Who's Amina ? She's Mohaned's mother / How old is she? She's 48 years old / What's her job ? she's a journalist
Teacher will distribute HO to students and will ask them to focus on the pictures and the names , T will then ask some questions like : what are their names ? where are they from ? To have them predict what the exercise is going to be about. t will have different answers and will have a WCFB by asking others for ex : Do you agree ? . Teacher will ask them to carefully listen to the track while answering in pairs . Time will be set to a limit of 6mn . T then asks Ss to answer while checking altogether.

When they're done teacher will point to students to answer individually and will check the answers with the rest . T will distribute another exercise , Ss will be given instructions just as the first exercise and will be asked to follow his own information o the WB in case they face difficulties.This exercise will familiarize students of answers when they're asked about their families.
T will draw his family tree as a demonstration of what they will be asked next. T will then ask everyone to do the same individually . After everybody finishes . T will ask the students to check together, when they are done , T will have them in a big circle and will give his instructions as follow : Ss will make a circle in order to play a game called "the invisible ball" . T will be the one to throw the ball to one of the student, T then aks a question for ex : He points at Cezer and asks the student with the ball , what's his sister's name ?
