lead in/ warmer: This class will start with a short introduction about myself. Then elicit the tense used in the text before (fast food restaurants). Grammar: Ex 3a: Get students to underline past simple forms, and ask individuals to write the verb on the WB. Ex 3b: Ask students how to make simple past regular verbs? by adding (ed or d) at the end of the verb. Ask them is there a rule for irregular verbs- No. Ask them how to make the past simple negative? by (subject + didn't + verb). ex: i didn't play. Ex 4a: Get students to write the past forms of the verbs, from the text before. (HO) Ex 4b: I will dictate the verbs and ask the students to guess the correct (ed) pronunciation and they should write them down in the /d/ , /t/, or /id/ columns. (HO) Ex 5a: Set the context of the activity - McDonald's and brainstorm anything they might know. Then get the students read the next text about McDonald's, and fill the gaps 1-11.(photocopy).
