1 - T greets ss. 2 - T says 'Hello everyone! Ready for a new adventure today?' 3 - T posts an A3 coloured picture of an Egyptian movie's ad called 'Laf Wa Dawaraan' on the board and writes the following questions: Q1- Who are they? Q2- Where are they? Q3- What happened to them? Q4- How would you feel if this happened to you? 4 - T asks ss to discuss questions in pairs. --> 2mins CCQs: Are you going to do this alone? No - in pairs What are you going to discuss? The questions on the board 5 - T elicits answers from chosen ss for Q4 above to move on to the stage after that smoothly; the idea is for the 'feeling' part to connect to the lexis that will be pre-taught.
1 - T will now tell ss 'Let me tell you how I felt when I faced a similar situation.' 2 - T will use the below anecdote and post every picture related when the sentence which that specific word is used in is mentioned. 'A few months ago, I was traveling from the city to the village, but the car broke down in middle of nowhere. At the beginning - I was okay, but as time passed by, I started to *act in a way that was out of control!* The feeling that I *wasn't in any way able to get in touch with anyone* because there was no connection in the area was scary. The only thing that relieved me was the thought that I still had *baked goods like pizza* in my bag that I would be able to eat later. 3 - When I post each picture in the sequence they are mentioned in the anecdote, I will then ask the ss the below if needed to make sure they understood. 1 - What is another way to say 'go crazy?' go mad 2 - When one is unable to connect with anyone, we say he/she is ...? cut off from.... 3 - No need to check this one; it should be clear. 4 - T will now do the pronunciation part of the MPF for the 3 words. a. T says word or phrase. b. T uses fingers to show # of words for phrases - be cut off from; go mad. c. T asks ss to listen; mimes 'not to repeat' d. T repeats each phrase 3 times --> class repeats --> individuals are chosen to repeat. e. T writes phrases on the board and shows stress/connected speech ▪️ go mad: 2 words; stress on the first word ▪️ get cut off from: 4 words; stress on the phrasal verb; linking between cut off (t & o) ▪️ pas/tries /ˈpeɪ.stri/: 1 word; 2 syllables; stress on the first syllable 5 - T covers form now as follows:- 1) What is go mad? An idiom 2) What part of speech? go-->verb; mad-->adverb 3) Can the verb 'go' be changed in tense? Yes 4) What is cut off from? A phrasal verb 5) What part of speech? verb + adjective + preposition 6) Can 'be' change the tense? Yes --> e.g. past/future
