Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T shows a picture of `Tomato and Cheese Bruschetta` on the board. Elicit what it is and what the Ss think the topic of the lesson is. Talk in pairs - have you eaten bruschetta, did you like it etc.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

Ss work in the same pairs to think of the ingredients used to make the bruschetta. While the Ss are working T puts the recipe up on the board. Ss check their own list. T gives 3 students a coloured board marker and asks them to circle the verbs that they can see in the recipe. T ask students what they notice about the location of the verbs, structure of the sentences. CCQ - do the sentences have a subject?

Useful Language (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

T shows students a 2 piles of flashcards, one with a picture, one with the verb associated with the picture. Everyone will get one flash card and needs to find the matching one. Ask Ss to stand up and form 2 equal lines, to make giving out the cards easier. ( T will join if there is an odd number) Ss mingle. T writes " preparation" and "cooking" on the board. Once Ss have all found their partner they sit in pair. T invites each pair to show the WC and stick their pair of flash cards in the right column. Ss should give their agreement
