Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

- The T tells students to look around the classroom pointing the fish and other sea animals on the wall and asks what these animals are. - The T asks the students where we can see these animals. - The T tells the students that they are underwater and adds only for this lesson you can breath underwater and meet some animals.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a game

- The T divides the classroom into two groups. - The T gives the instruction. "With your group, match the pictures with the words." - When the students finish their activity, they check their answers from the answer key.

Clarification (1-3 minutes) • To clarify the pronunciation of the target language

- After the exposure activity, the T drill with the students in different ways. (Boys & girls, up&down, sitting down&standing up, showing the first letters)

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To prepare students cognitively for more meaningful practices in the next stages of the lesson

- The T gives each group papers with the pictures and words on it. - From each group, one student comes to the board and reads the description about each animal. The first group to answer correct gets the point.

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for the production stage

- The T continues with the existing groups. - Then the T tells the students that they will play a game mixture of pictionary and miming. (She models the activity with one of the learners.)

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with a personalized practice of the target language

- The T organizes the chairs standing parallel to each other face to face. - The T models the "can you touch this animal?" game. Each student needs to ask their partners if they can touch that animal. - When they finish the activity, the T says that there are 1 or 2 minutes left to go above the water to finish the activity.
