Procedure

Lead in (5-7 minutes) • To reinforce Ss' knowledge of the topic of my favorite restaurant dish

In this stage. I will use pictures to put students in the context of food in a restaurant. I will ask students to tell me what the pictures are about. The pictures will be useful to introduce the text which is about my favorite dish to order in a restaurant. I will stick pictures to the WB and let students figure out the meaning behind them. The first picture will be friends in a restaurant, then I will stick two picture of Dominos pizza and Pizza Hut. The next picture will be a girl eating pizza followed by a pizza picture then pictures of the ingredients of pizza.

Preparing to Write (15-20 minutes) • To familiarize Ss with writing and generating ideas to write about

I will pre-teach vocabulary ( dish , shrimps, though and mouth-watering) see language analysis I will ask students to draw their favorite dish on a white paper individually. I will ask ICQs : are you going to work alone or in pairs? Are you going to write or draw? Are you going to draw your friends and family or your favorite restaurant dish? After 3 minutes, I will regroup the class and every student will get a new neighbor. Students will exchange their papers and each one of them should guess what is their partner’s favorite dish is. I will provide students with a short text about my favorite dish to order in the restaurant. Students should skim the text and answer the multiple-choice exercise individually then check their answers.
