Ss have to work in group to put the sentences in the right place T hands in model text (STEP 2 - 3-5 minutes) T reviews the model with Ss - FORM: Signal words - T explains the logical order and how to use them - GRAMMAR: comparatives and superlatives T elicits 1 from each (comp/sup) and reviews usage quickly (Step 3 - 3-5 minutes) T shows a map of Istanbul and tells Ss that they have to choose a city and find one good thing and one bad things about their city. ICQ: How many cities can I choose? -One How many good things? -One How many bad things? -One Ss have one minute to think about it T elicits ideas from Ss and writes them on WB

Useful language (3-5 minutes) • To provide students with a lexical set (nouns and adjectives) that will help them produce a successful writing task.

T chests word guide and explains to Ss To help them, they can use adjectives on the left T explains crowded and polluted (See LA) To help them, they can also use nouns on the right (No explanation needed) T shows the grammar rule in the middle that can help them while producing.

If students finish earlier, T looks at the paper and highlights their mistakes using a green pen (NOT RED!!)

Feedback (5-5 minutes) • To have the students mingle and look at each other's writing.

T hangs the writings around the class. Ss have to walk around and discuss ideas If they like of agree, they tick the page T walks around, listens to the students and notes 2 good sentences and one that has a small mistake in it for the feedback session
