Procedure (39-54 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (5-7 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

- The teacher divides the class into two teams. - The teacher tells the students that they will play a hangman game on two different words (feelings and emotions) and the team that guesses its word first is the winner. - The teacher then elicits positive and negative emotions from the students by showing them photos.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

- The teacher models and drills the vocabulary in (1) P.82.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through answering questions to fill in a crossword
