Ss will discuss these questions in pairs "Do you like to shop? Do you prefer shopping online or at the mall?" T asks ss about their partners as fb
T will elicit the word "mall" and "store" using visuals of malls (Mall of Istanbul), write shop and ask what the same word for shop is, after a few seconds if ss don't answer, T says store. CCQ: Do you go to malls which one is your favourite? As there will be listening and focus on some important words T will drill the bold words on the HO "at the mall - in small stores, bookstore - an electronics store, cheap - interesting, on Friday nights - on Sundays, DVDs - computer games. This drilling will help ss focus on the necessary words as my main aim is not listening so they will finish the activity fast. After drilling T chests and reflects the HO and say showing we will circle one of the bold words according to the listening. Ss listen and circle the correct answer. ICQs: Can we circle any of the words or one of the two bold words at the end? Like- at the mall and in small stores? Can we circle it according to ourselves or the listening?Are we doing it alone or in pairs? Ss peer check. T gives answer key.
T makes ss stand up and notice the question on the walls. T shows ss their random partners and ss will discuss the questions which are pinned on the walls "What is your favourite store? Why do you like it? when do you go there? What do they sell? What do you like to buy?" T asks Why question to a few ss and elicit the answer because. T writes the first sentence asking ss what is your favourite store? My favourite store is ....(eliting from a student). T reflects the useful language on the WB and also gives the HO to ss who need. Ss have 5 minutes to talk about the answers.
Ss write about their favourite store working alone using the model. ICQ: Are we writing alone or in pairs? T monitors for delayed fb, helps when needed but don't interfere.
T says ss to stick their papers she demonstrates this. Ss have 3 minutes to check the content and 5 minutes to read and find the language mistakes too. Ss will stick their writings on the board and walk around the class to read each other writings. When they finish T asks which shop/ writing they liked more. After ss sit at their seats they will read their friend's writing again to check the mistakes this time. T says them to sit and gives the writings to ss and ask them check the mistakes. T asks what mistakes they find and T will elicit the correct ways for the mistakes from the ss.
