Try to elicit 'request' and write it on the board -Ask the ss what you request above
- Post two pictures on the board. One of both should be a sample for a polite person and the other one is a sample of an impolite person. - Demo with the class and model a question of the language using the pictures (with a friendly and polite intonation and then with the voice that sounds bored/rude) - Elicit from the ss which one is polite and which one is impolite - Write both words on the board under the pictures - Give instruction to listen to a recording (R1.11) and decide if the speakers are polite or impolite - Peer check and then nominate a S to write the answers (P for polite / I for impolite) on the board - Drill the polite (rising) intonation on some of the questions first chorally and then individually
- Project the pictures of the places on the board and focus ss on the pictures - Point at the picture 'souvenir shop' and tell them they will want to buy/request something from that place - Demo the activity with the class and ask a strong s to ask the question and you respond - Pair the ss and instruct to continue practicing
- Draw a menu on the board - Try to elicit ss the word 'price' - Tell them they will listen to a recording (R1.13) and they will circle the correct price they hear - Play the recording and pause after the first one to check they've circled correctly - Play the rest of the recording - Peer check and WGFB * See how well they've done with the pronunciation of 15 and 50 and 13 and 30.
