Procedure (31-51 minutes)
Students will work in pairs to talk about what they usually do in their free time. They will also talk about what they don't like doing, too. Teacher will elicit the answers and then ask students what we call these activities. Teacher will elicit the answers and then ask Ss to repeat after her and ask individually to repeat after her the word ' Entertainment '. Then teacher will write the word on the board and show the stress and parts of speech, too.
Teacher will give her leisure time activities as a model. For example, I go out for a walk. I usually don't cook for myself. Then teacher will ask Ss to repeat after her. If they have any problem, the teacher will cut the sentence so that it will be easier for the Ss to repeat after her. Then teacher will write the sentences on the board and underline the word phrases and ask Ss to repeat after her.
Ss will take their handout from Cutting Edge Coursebook and do exercise 1 in pairs. They will use the words in the box to complete the phrases. Teacher will elicit the answers and guide them when there is a mistake. Then Ss will change their partners to go on with exercise 2 a and b. This time they will think about evening in and out activities and add two more verb phrases to each category.
Students will choose five favourite activities from the previous exercises and put them in order. They can also find different activities, too. This will be done individually and then teacher will elicit the answers. After this, Ss will work in pairs to make short dialogues comparing their favourite activities. They can get help from the sample which is in their handout. Teacher will elicit the answers.
Teacher will divide the class into two groups. It may change according to the number of students in class. Then each group will have a set of cards. They will first mime the card and ask the group to guess and then make a sentence using the phrase that they guessed correctly. The other group will find out if the sentence is tru or false. İf they know correctly then they will get 1 point. The winner group will have chocolate at the end.
