Procedure (53-67 minutes)
I will ask Sts to change their groups first to get new and fresh ideas from them. Then I will ask them:" How was your last weekend?" "was it good or not?". I will tell them about my weekend as well. Then Sts can tell each other about their last weekend.
I will ask Sts some questions starting with: (Did you) and then write them on the WB with their answers: Did you go shopping last weekend? Yes/No, I didn't Did you play football last weekend? Yes/No, I didn't
I will highlight the question (Did you go shopping last weekend?|) by asking some CCQs. Is this (yes/no) question or (Wh question)? (yes/no question) Do we use "did" or "do" to talk about your last weekend? (did) Can we say (Did you went shopping last weekend? (no) Can we say: ( Did you go to the shopping?) (no) I will drill the correct pronunciation too and show that the intonation is rising,
I will stick 9 pictures on the WB about thing or activities we did in the weekend then asking one student from each group to go out and grab the activities they heard from me so that they could use them properly in the questionnaire speaking task. Then, I tell them about the questionnaire and that there are 3 columns-one for you, one for the teacher, one for your partner. Sts tick now just the first column; /you/ one. Then, I focus students' attention on the speech bubbles on the WB (Did you go to the cinema?), (yes, I did/ No, I didn't), I drill the question chorally and individually and then get the ss to ask me the rest of the questions and I tick my answers on the cut-up on the WB in the (teacher) column. In the next task, I get the ss to ask their partners the same questions and tick the last column in open pairs then in closed pairs so every student will know each other's answers. I will monitor and check for correct past simple question formation and short answers. After that, I will elicit 2 or 3 examples from some students and then they tell the class about what they and their partners did last weekend.
I will pick up some of students' errors and write them on the WB trying to elicit the errors and mistakes with them
I will clarify to the Ss how to write 5 sentences about things they and their partners did last weekend (depending on the questionnaire they did) individually. I will explain the first example to be followed Ss will do the task in /8-10 mints./ and I monitor and after they finish, I will pick up their handouts and stick them on the WB to do the error correction by eliciting.
