Ss will be asked to list the vocabulary on p. 56 as Verbs - Nouns/Noun Phrases - Adjectives
Ss will play a tic-tac-toe game in 6 groups; consisting of 3 groups of 'X' and 3 groups of 'O'. The teacher draws a three-by-three grid on the board. The teacher explains that she will give them one word each time and they will play in turns. In one turn, the X groups will compete and in the next turn the O groups will compete to make sentences with the given word. The first team that makes a correct sentence with the given word gets to make an X on the board. Then the other team gets a turn. For the 'O' groups, the first team that makes a correct sentence with the given word gets to make an O on the board. As a group, they must come up with a sentence where the word is used and pronounced correctly. The group that puts the 3rd X or O in a row gets 5 points. The game ends when the grid is completed and the winner is the group with the highest point.
Ss go to page 135 for extra vocabulary. Teacher asks CCQ questions to check if they know the words. Ss try to guess the words. Then, they are asked to match the words with their definitions in exercise a. Following that, exercise b is done and checked as a class. After that, Teacher opens the 5A Vocab ppt and asks Ss to talk about each picture in the slides using the vocabulary on page 135.
Finally, Ss talk in pairs about the tasks on page 135 exercise c. One student mentions an environmental problem and the other student suggets solution to it.
Common errors are put on the board and the Ss are asked what is wrong with the sentence.
