Procedure (47 minutes)
-T starts with a very short story of his marriage. -T asks Ss to answer this question " where did you first meet your partner?" -Then Ss in pairs discuss this question and T monitors them. -After two minutes T asks the whole class if anyone has a unusual story to tell.
-Ss receive a HO including four speakers and four options. -T asks them to listen very carefully and match them with the options. -T tells them not to worry about the new words as they aren't our main aim. -T asks them some CCQs to check whether Ss have understood him or not. For example, " -Do you do it in pairs or alone?(alone) - Do you pay attention to the new words?(no) " -After they listen Ss check their answers in pairs, but no reasoning is needed because the main aim is grammar not listening.
-Ss are asked to look at the second part of the first HO. -Then, T tells Ss these are the sentences from the listening. -Ss in pairs discuss these two questions" when do we use used to?" and how can we talk about the present? -And ask more CCQs about the target language.
- T asks Ss some CCQs to elicit the meaning of this grammar. -T can also show his photo to consolidate the grammar. -Ss on their HO1 have more points related to form and pronunciation. -They look at the examples and teacher asks about the form and then write it on the board. -On HO1 there's also another part about the pronunciation. -T reads the sentences out loud and asks Ss to pay attention to the arrows and linking sounds. -To make it more challenging T asks Ss to look at the audio script to find more examples of used to and usually and each group who finds the most examples is the winner.
-Ss receive a new HO which includes two different types of activities. -In the first part they must read some sentences together and decide whether the statements are true or false grammatically. Then they need to justify their reasons. -T monitors the Ss and check their answers without intervening. -T gets whole class feedback and show them the answer on the board.
-T asks Ss to look at the second part of the HO 2. - They must read the sentences and fill in blanks with used to and usually together. - T asks some ICQs to check they have understood the instructions. -Ss do this part in pairs an check their answers. -T gets feedback from individual and asks others whether they have the same answer.
-Ss at this stage get the last HO and they are asked to read the sample answer. -T asks them to write about their past and present habitual behavior and activities.(ALONE) -T monitors them and write down any mistakes he notices. -Then, Ss are asked to change their seats and partners. ( group 1- banana, group 2 - apple, group 3- orange juice, group 4- coconut) -Ss read their writing for each other and listen to each other. -T corrects some of the mistakes on the board with the help of Ss.
