Procedure (30-45 minutes)
T shows picture from exercise (9-a) of a man watching TV and eating pizza and a girl who is running on treadmill. Ss need to guess which one of them is active. Alternatively, they can guess what they do/don't do from a list of sentences. Feedback: eliciting ideas from whole class to maintain they're using thrid person when discussing the picture. ss can share their ideas in pairs as well.
T sets the students in pairs and ask only one student from each pair to look to his partner and guess what he/she does or doesn't from list of incomplete sentences and vice versa. They need to conjugate the verbs with the third person (he/she) then complete the sentences from the exercise.
In pairs, students are told to make a list of "you" questions. each student will ask these questions to his/her partner and write down the answers. Feedback: T will monitor ss while they are forming questions to correct any grammar mistakes promptly.
Ss will work in the same pairs; each students will take turn to ask his/her partner the questions he/she have made and write the answers. They can count how many guesses are correct about their partners afterwards. Feedback: T will monitor while they ask "you"questions. T can take notes when monitoring to improve pronunciation in next activities if needed. - using CCQs to check if they can use the grammatical form properly.
In three groups, each student will talk about what his/her peer do/doesn't as a free time activity. Feedback: T takes notice as he observes as a delayed feedback then povide error correction for mistakes made by students.
In this stage, as activity, Students will be given two sets of cards: one set of verbs, and the second is about pictures that can be expressed as nouns later in the same activity. In three groups, each student will take turn and pull one verb and one picture and if they match he/she needs to form a phrase and so on. T drills phrases of verb-noun collocations after the students have finished matching all the verb cards with the right pictures.
