Add ticks and crosses underneath each name of place. Ss work as 3 groups, one assigned to each map. Ss will take turns looking at the maps and then will individually go to the wb to write what is and is not present in that particular location. (e.g. a library, a university etc) Every S must write at least one vocabulary item (e.g. hotel, lake, museum etc) They will also have the chance to see some new lexis written on the maps themselves.

Model the target language with some sentences with student: e.g. "There's a post office in Eyeries", "There isn't...(extension for student) an airport" "There are lots of parks in Keswick", "There isn't...(extension for S) a beach" "There is a hospital in Auckland", "There aren't any... (extension for S) mountains" Chest ex.7. "This table shows the positive, negative, question forms and short answers. The top one is for singular. The bottom one is for plural. Work by yourself. Fill in the gaps with the correct answers." ICQs: > Are we working in pairs or by ourselves? By ourselves > If I say "a park" is it singular or plural? Singular > And "shops"? Plural Distribute ex.7 as guided discovery activity. Monitor as Ss work by themselves. Have Ss peer check each other in pairs after activity. "Check with your partner" Distribute answer key.

(make a thinking expression) Near my house? hmm YES. So I write "Yes" Work alone." ICQs: > Are we completing the gaps first? Yes > What are we writing in the gaps? Is there / Are there > Are we writing yes or no under "me" or "my partner"? Me Ss work alone completing the list. Monitor to see that they are on track.
