Procedure (39-55 minutes)
I will greet the students and start to stick some pictures of families on the board to grab their attention. Then, I ask them to guess what's today's lesson will be about? and I elicit some words from them spontaneously. Then, write them on the whiteboard.
Get them to read a passage related to the picture about someone talking about his family members. T ask the enthusiastic student to read first and praise him\her then ask the shy one to encourage them to participate more during the session.
The teacher will divide the class into 4 groups. Ask every group to scan the paragraph to find the name of every family member. Set the timer and let's see who will finish knowing the family members correctly first. Ask every group to come out and say their answers out loud, while the teacher is correcting the pronunciation and ask the rest of the class to drill the new vocab in different voices.
Ask one of the shy students to distribute the handouts with the teacher. Get them to work in pairs to fill in the blanks and match the words. T will more around the class to monitor and take notes with the mistakes. After giving positive feedback, I will correct their mistakes in a nice way and thank them for participating in the session.
T asks the students to write a paragraph about their family members using at least 3 words from today's lesson, then each one will read it aloud and I will tell them to repeat the vocab after me to make sure they pronounce it right (drilling activity).
