Procedure (45-60 minutes)
1- Greet my students and introduce myself to the class. 2- I will show them a picture of (phone- laptop- AC) and start asking them : a) What can you see? b) How do you feel if you lose them all? c) Think individually about how would be your life without these objects? Discuss in pairs. 3- I will ask one student to tell me about her partner.
1- (have) sentimental value: (context) I can't live without my watch; it is from my best friend, who is now far away. It is not expensive, but it has sentimental value. Drill the word, then show it on the PowerPoint. Ask some CCQs: a- is it from a special person or any person? b- Can I live without it? c- Is sentimental means emotional? 2- Ornament: (picture) display a picture of Christmas and start to ask students about the little balls hanging from the tree. Then, what do we call it (ornaments)?. I can ask some CCQs: a- Do we use it in painting or decorating. 3- (remind you of something): (context) this ring is from papa every time I looked at it, I remember him. So this ring ............ me of him. After that, ask students to listen and fill the gap. I will demote them the first one, then I will ask them to answer individually and check answers in pairs then, they check the answer key.
1- I will try to elicit from what they have already listened to the useful language. For example: What did he say to introduce the object in the record? I couldn't live without my mobile phone. 2- I will follow the ECDW technique, I will elicit, drill and write. 3- I will highlight the phonological features on the board. 4- I will try to set the board in sections to be clear and accessible for students as a guidance to use in the speaking task.
1- I will ask students to discuss in pairs the things that they couldn't live without, after modeling in front of them. 2- Give students clear instruction to use useful language while speaking to their partners. 3- I will demonstrate first to guide them and do an open peer discussion.
1- After monitoring students, I will try to check the errors and set them on the board to correct mistakes. 2- I will ask students if they found anything in common.
