Procedure (45-55 minutes)
T- projects on the jamboard images of people expressing surprise and without surprise. T- Elicits learners to give ideas of the projected images. When do we express surprise or the opposite?
Learners will listen to a conversation between Judy and Martin where they talk about situations in real life and use expressions of surprise. Are we listening for much detail? No Instructions: Listen and choose the activities mentioned. Which of these activities are mentioned in the audio? -Their holiday plans. - Something they´ve bought recently -Judy´s computer. - Car repair -a problem with their son -a doctor´s appointment - Judy's brother -the garden T conducts OCFB
T- projects on the Jamboard surprise sentences. Are we filling in the gaps with difficulty? No Instructions: Fill in the gaps I don´t _believe_ it You must be _jocking_! You´re kidding! Why on _earth_ ( doesn´t he listen to me) Wow, that´s fantastic _news _! I am not surprised, to be _honest_. I_bet_ you were. Well, _no wonder _(you´ve got a virus). Well, he would say that _wouldn´_t he? Yes, I can _imagine_ Students check answers in pairs for 2 mins. (via private messages) T-conducts OCFB T- shares audio for learners to copy the intonation for exaggerating. S- choral drill. To provide the form. T- Projects the next questions: T - Elicits students for the right answers. Are we expressing surprise because we can´t believe is true? Yes Do we exaggerate our intonation when we are surprised? Yes Are we expecting things to happen the way they did? Yes and No 4.-What do we say before introducing a surprise? Guess what? T- Projects questions to provide the form for questions before surprise expressions as an answer. 1-In which questions does Martin not know the answer? Have you had a good day? Did you ask him to come to the barbecue this weekend? 2.-In which questions does Martin think he knows the answer to? Hadn´t they promised to be here today? Didn´t you install that anti-virus software? -OCFB- We normally use negative auxiliaries when we think we know the answer, in this case, Martin thinks that the answer for "a" is yes and the answer for "b" is no. For appropriacy. T- Projects Jamboard with exaggerating expressions to elicit student for the right answer. Are these expressions formal, informal or neutral? There are informal as we listened in the audio, this is a conversation between family members ( wife and husband) Although for example, we can say that kidding is more informal than jocking. T- Projects on the Jamboard a fill gap activity. Instructions: Now it´s your turn to complete the surprise expressions. Martin Guess what? One of my actors has just got a film contract in Canada.
