Procedure (39-46 minutes)
Start the lesson by speaking about the real life. Ask a question: "Do you like holidays?" Talk about your last holiday and show the pictures of the activities you did on holiday. While showing the pictures, elicit some adjectives that are used for feelings by asking questions.
Show the adjectives on the board and give the HO, as well. Ask the students to look at the adjectives, and put plus or minus according to their meanings as far as they know. While monitoring, help them when they need to. Ask whether there are unknown words or not, and use visuals to explain. Give the other HO and ask the students to match the words with their meanings. While checking their answers, focus on the pronunciation and word stress. Ask the students to choose 3 adjectives that they felt last week and find the reasons. Put them in pairs and Ask them to talk about the adjectives they choose.
Ask how they would feel in a place on the first day, and give an example from your life. Focus on clubs. Divide the students into pairs, and show the discussion questions on the board. Ask them to discuss the questions with their partners for 2 minutes. Show a picture for people in the listening text. Introduce them and tell what they are going to talk about in the listening text.
Ask them to look at the clubs in the gist listening activity. Focus on glee club, and make sure that they know it. Remind the students that it is an activity to get the main idea, and they do not have to grasp every detail. Tell what you want for this activity clearly. Ask them to check their answers in pairs. Take some general feedback.
Ask them to look at the sentences in the HO. Tell that they will listen to it again, tick the true sentences and correct the false ones. Before listening ask them to read the sentences alone. After they listen to the text, ask them to check their answers in pairs. Elicit the answers and show the answer key on the board.
Ask them to look at the beginning of the listening text. Show the first sentence as an example. Ask some questions about the stressed words. "Is it a verb or a noun?" Tell that they will listen to just the beginning and put dots to the stressed words. Ask them to check their answers in pairs. Show the answer key to save time. Ask them to look at the other part and write S or N to the types of words by looking at the sentences above.
Divide the students into pairs. Show the questions on the board, and ask them to discuss these questions with their partners. Monitor while they are speaking. Take some general feedback
