Procedure (33-46 minutes)
I enter the class with my headphones on and a bit of dancing. Then I elicit the activities: listening to music, dancing
the teacher has already written a word on slips of paper, a students comes to the front, chooses one and mimes it, others have to guess the word. then by asking some CCQs, synonyms and examples the meaning is clarified. they repeat the word chorally and individually with the correct word stress. I write the word on the board including (spelling, stress,pronunciation). I underline the "ing" ending with a different color
students are supposed to talk about the activities they like and they hate in pairs. later the teacher ask two or three students to share their ideas with the class.
I Raise their curiosity about the music I was listening to "Do you like to hear?" "do you know the singer?" and I elicit the Name
the teacher gives two question to the students (questions from the coursebook, p:35, part 1a) and asks them to listen and answer the questions. later they check the answer in pairs and check with the class.
some different pieces of paper are given to each student, they have to listen and chose the words they hear, then they find a partner who has the same color paper and check the answers together, and say what does the recording say about each item.
a piece of paper containing the sentences on page 35, exercise 2 is given to the students, they are asked to read the sentences first, then listen and choose the correct answer. in pairs they check and for one more time check with another pair.
on one side of the board I write "Adele" and on another side I elicit and write the names of some other famous pop stars. then i lead a categorization of what she likes/hates/does and what others do? and ask if she is similar to them or different? in groups they discuss "why she is not a typical pop artist?"
