Procedure (44-67 minutes)
T tells Ss about what job he or she dreamt about doing when was a child. T asks Ss about their childhood dream job.
T asks Ss to describe the photos in the page without reading the text and name as many as words they can.
T gives 3 to 4 minutes to Ss to read the text and then answer the questions (5A). Then T asks Ss to check their answer with a partner. T collects the answers. To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language T gives some supplementary vocabulary. T explains some less familiar words "blast off" and compares it to "fly."
T asks Ss to read and answer part 5B in a minute. Then they check their answers with the partner. T provides delayed corrections and explanations or examples as needed. With weaker Ss and quiet Ss, T gives them time to prepare their answers alone before sharing them with their partner. This will ensure they have more to say during the discussions.
T draws Ss attention to page 134 of the book and reviews the grammatical points. Stronger classes could read the notes and do the exercises at home. Otherwise, T checks the notes with Ss, especially the use of stative and active verbs with used to, but only active verbs with would. T asks Ss to do activity 6A. In each exercise, T does the first sentence as an example. Ss complete the exercises alone, then check their answers in pairs. Ss can refer to the notes to help them. T gives feedback on the answers.
T asks Ss to read part 6B very quickly and then plays the audio file. Ss listen to the sentences, paying attention to the pronunciation of /ju:stǝ/. Drill /ju:stǝ/ on its own, making sure Ss pronounce it smoothly. T plays the recording again and pauses after each sentence for Ss to repeat. Then T asks for part 6C. Ss discuss the sentences in pairs. T monitors and checks pronunciation of used to. In feedback, nominate Ss to share one interesting fact about their partner with the class.
T reads the questions and the example with the class. Ss discuss the questions in pairs. In feedback, T nominates Ss to share their partner's answers with the class. ss start part 7. Ss work in pairs or small groups. T asks afew more questions about the topic. The winning group may get extra marks. During the task, T monitors and provides (non-)linguistic feedback. During the Ss' talking, T takes notes and provides (non-)linguistic feedback when the Ss are done.
