Procedure (26-45 minutes)
I will start by asking them what do you think future is? After collecting answers, I would divide students into A and B. Then, I will give them (HO1) and ask students to ask and discuss these questions in pairs in three minutes. ICQs: Who's A? Who's B? How many questions you will ask? ( 10) When students finish discussion, an open class discussion will be provided.
You have 10 cards(A-J) and 10 verb phrases. Match the card with its phrase. You will do this task individually in 2 minutes. After that, students will check answers in pairs.(1 minute) When students finish, I will elicit the answers through an open class feedback (1 minute). During the feedback, I will focus on the stress_ as the task includes pictures and most of them are HFW, no need to check meaning_ as I will demo the first one then ask students to guess the stress to reduce TTT This will take 4 minutes.
I will write down two sentences on the board as: 1. She is gong to be lucky. 2. She is going to New York next week. I will ask students when you read the first sentence, you would understand it is a prediction or something planned?( prediction) Ask the same question on the second sentence. (plan) When it comes to the form, I will ask and elicit answers from students.( Subject+ be verb+ going to+ verb in the base form+ reset of the sentence.) Same will be done to Negative and Interrogative form. Highlight the intonation of the sentence by drawing arms, also students will drill the sentence using back chain.
I will give names to students eg: x / z. I will switch pairs and ask each x to set together. Same to Z. X you are a fortune teller, Look at the ten cards you had before, secretly number the cards in a different order. Demo the activity. Z choose five numbers. X predicts Z's future using those cards. Demo the activity with a student. ICQs: Where are x? Where are z? X are you going to give same numbers to the cards or different numbers? ( Different) Z, How many number are you going to chose? (5)Students will have 2 minutes to plan the speaking activity. As x will have time to re-number the cards secretly. Z will choose the 5 numbers carefully to make it challenging.
Students practice speaking in 5 minutes. I will monitor the students and if they fizzle up , I would give support by reminding them with the verb phrases and the structure they had learned. When each partner finish, they will switch roles.
As I was monitoring, I would spot some students' mistakes. I will write them on the board and correct them
