Procedure (38-47 minutes)

Teach (12-15 minutes) • To clarify areas of the target language where students had difficulty in the first test stage

1. T gives SS sheets with an empty table (folded). 2. PW. SS fill in the table with participle clauses from prev.exer. (inp.-non-imp./ act.--pass.) WCF and discussion Qs to discuss: Look at this sentence. CCQs. Look at that one. CCQs. (meaning) Do you think this rule is similar to some other rule? Which one? 3. PW. SS unfold the page. T asks them to rewrite part.clauses as relative clauses. WCF 4. Form clarification: SS figure out how RC turns into PC, and how PC turns into RC. 5. Pronunciation. Important thing is to show them the pause between MC and PC.

Test #2 (7-8 minutes) • Check students' use of the target language again and compare with the first test

SS transform SS with RC into SS with PC. PW. WCF (SS write on WB)

Free practice: Writing a story (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

SS are given sheets with only one sentence written on them. Working in groups, they are supposed to write stories using the first sentence as a beginning. They are free to write what they want, the only important thing is to have at least one part.clause in every sent. 5 minutes later, groups exchange their stories, read them, cross out all the sent. without part.clause and add just one more sentence to another group's story to finish it. Groups get their stories back and read them.
