Procedure

Lead in (5 minutes) • To get students interested in the topic

-Show the Ss a picture of a room. -Ask them what they see in the picture.Some Yes/No questions using the prepositions. -Try to get as much as you can from the Ss.

Grammar analysis (15 minutes) • To enable SS to understand the concept of prepositions in English language

Meaning: Put a picture on the board. Tell the students that the supermarket is ON Rosa Street. Tell Ss On is used before the name of streets when giving address. Then elicit more info about the map by asking questions. For example, Is the bank on Amelia Street? Point to the street when asking the question. Give more examples about the picture and use the target language at the same time as pointing to the places on the photo. For instance, The supermarket is NEXT TO the bookstore? Then elicit more info by asking Ss to give more examples using NEXT TO . For example, point to the Restaurant and Toy Store and try to elicit the sentence The restaurant is next to the toy store. Don't forget to give complement when Ss make the correct sentence. Go through the same procedure to explain the meaning of other prepositions and elicit more sentences from the Ss. Form: After putting examples on the board, highlight the fact that after NEXT we use TO while after OPPOSITE we don't use any other prepositions, which is a common mistake. Put the other prepositions on the board this way: - next to the bank - far from the bank - in front of the bank - opposite the bank -
