Procedure (36-45 minutes)
SS see a PPT about famous people in Football, Politics, Science, Technology, Music, and Movies. They say their names as the slides pass before them. This part sets the context of the celebrities whom ss will talk more about during the lesson. Then, SS will match some words about jobs, their definition, and one famous person in that job. The people are chosen from the pictures in PPT.
In this part, SS first listen to an audio track and try to guess the name of the people who are described in the audio. SS write the number of each person on HO1 which provides celebrities names. SS should find 10 people. This can be done as a game in which each group who guess and write more is the winner. After listening, SS help their group and check their answers. After the listening for the first time, SS receive HO2 which is the cut-ups of the sentences in the audio track. There are three parts to the cut-ups that SS should match. It aims to provide practice for later elicitation of the structure, i.e. relative clauses.
First, the teacher hands some pieces of paper to SS. The structure of relative clauses are on the paper. Then, the teacher will write the structure on the WB and elicit the substitutes for each element from the ss. SS have already learned the structure, and this part just highlights them.
In this stage, first, ss play a game, heads-up. one SS from each group comes to the broad. The teacher has made some sticky pieces of paper with names of a celebrity on it. SS should not see the names. These ss stick the paper on their forehead or their back. Then they go to different groups and ask 'who am I?'. Each group provides one sentence to each person. Then, they should guess who the celebrity is. The teacher provides some information about the celebrities to the setting SS in case they do not have any idea about the celebrity. The second task provides a freer practice in which ss firstly write as many names as they can about people and things in 5 different areas. SS have an HO which they should write the names on it. Then they are going to describe the names they have come up with.
Teacher monitor students during the group work and productive practice. Then, if there are any errors teacher can give a whole class feedback on the WB. There are also some FB that teacher provide after each task.
