Procedure (21-45 minutes)
Say/Ask: "Raise your hand if you are married." How many of you have been to a wedding before?" This will most likely be a 50/50 ratio as many of the learners are very young.
I will write vocabulary words from lesson 1 will on the board to be previewed first. We will use WC method to pronounce as correctly as possible each word. Sts will sound out each word individually.10-15.
WC will talk out and fill in as we go, which words correspond to each space. Example So where do most weddings take place, but they can take place in a _______, etc. *Time permitting, we will view a 24 sec clip of a honeymoon video, so that sts can conceptualize the idea that honeymoons are linked with relaxing times or celebration of weddings.
We will check answers as WC and sts will correct answers as needed.
Students will give accounts in as clear sentences as possible, a wedding they attended, or a wedding that they were told about from a friend or family member. This is a WC or student pair, but the aim is for speaking using the target vocabulary. I will monitor some conversations of students speaking together.
