Warmer/Lead-in (5-8 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Exposure (5-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Students classify in pairs(if enough students, if not individually)on the board clothes according to: men wear, women wear, men and women wear. Teacher first demonstrate. Students play guessing game, they show others students using only gestures clothes e.g. shorts and rest is trying find the word. Each students is doing ones.

Highlighting (5-7 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Teacher stick on the board picture of money, skirt, trousers and try to elicit from student question: how much is the skirt? How much are trousers? Write the two question on the board, and ask: why the second question has "are" (because trousers are plural). Students classify on board clothes from ex 1a into plural and singular

Clarification (7-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Teacher clarify different between how much and how many. How much? Uncountable nouns are nouns (things) we cannot count. For example: sugar, rice, etc. We use some before a noun we cannot count. For example: some sugar, some rice. How many? Countable nouns are nouns (things) we can count. For example: flowers, tomatoes, etc. We use a or an before a noun we can count. For example: a potato, an orange. (It means one potato, one orange.) Tip! We use MANY with the plural form of the verb “To Be” (“are”)! We use MUCH with the singular form of the verb “To Be” (“is”)!
