Procedure (40-51 minutes)
Pasting pictures one by one, I will elicit the vocabulary from the students. Altogether seven pictures (see material Workplace pictures). Model the pronunciation and do choral drill with them. Then write the name on the WB. Ask: "who works in a ........" They will come up with some jobs. I will not necessarily write those on the WB to add unnecessary vocabulary
I will display OHP picture 1. Ask: "what place is he in?" Motion at the picture as a whole. City. "what car is this?" taxi "What does he have? Doctor?" {Point to the suit) SS will give ideas. Teacher will instruct the ss to listen to the cd. Play the recording. Repeat and drill the sentences. This is the time to model form and pronunciation Display the Table HO on the OHP. Point out the sentences just used. Then demo the task 1, to fill the blanks in the tables. Do one example and then give the HO. Divide them in pairs as they sit. Together let them find out where each word fits in. Check with the others at the table. For FB give each table a slip with the word to paste in the right place. Let them come to the WB and paste it in the right place. Task 2: chest the same handout and point to the three lines at the bottom. Demo what to do by applying the sentences to myself. tell them to make three sentences, and say them to their partner. Do fb by getting some of them to speak out in class.
The teacher will chest the Text and picture HO with the texts and the pictures. Instruct them to read and match the pictures. Work in the pairs they are. Again check with the others at the same table. The key will be written on the WB Then let them continue with task 2 on the same HO, let them work together in their pairs. Ask: who is speaking? Demo the first one together. Feedback, let ss give the answers. Let them say the whole sentence in order to repeat the TL. (delayed correction)
Let them switch partners. Then paste one model sentence on the board using the word cutouts. Illicit the grammatical names for the words by letting them paste the right definition over the word. Point our the verb. Ask and ICQ the meaning of a verb. Get them to say other verbs. Display the texts from from Text and Picture HO on OHP and demo the task to trace all the verbs in the texts.
