Procedure (32-44 minutes)
1. To start of I will ask students two questions that are related to the theme of the dialogue that students will later be presented with: - Do you like going to the cinema to watch movies? - What movies do you like? 2. I will ask one of the students to ask me these questions and thus provide an example. 2. I will then split them up into BoR and instruct them to ask each other these questions. For this they will get 2 minutes. ICQ: Are we working alone or in pairs? Are we speaking or writing? Are we asking each other the questions? Do we have 1 or 2 minutes? 3. After getting back to class I will as 1 or 2 students to share their answers with the class.
1. I will present the students with the dialogue on google forms and give them two options to chose from what this text is about. 2. I will ask them to quickly read it (20 seconds) and then ask one or two students to share their answer.
1. I will ask students to take a look at the first underlined simple past form and elicit from them in what time form the verb is (simple past). 2. I will ask students to individually look for the other simple past forms in the text for 1 minute. ICQ: Are we working alone or in pairs? Are we just reading or are we reading and looking for the simple past forms? Do we have 1 minute or 3 minutes? 3. I will then provide the students with the correct answer.
1. I will share a link to google forms with questions meant to clarify the meaning and form of the collocation. 2. To clarify meaning I will use CCQs with answers to choose from. 3. To clarify form I will have students choose the correct way of how the simple past is formed. 4. They will be split into BoR and have 4 minutes to answer the questions together. ICQ: Are we working alone or in pairs? Are we answering the questions or just reading them? Do we have 3 or 4 minutes? 5. After the answers are checked in class. 4. In regards to pronounciation I will choose two sentences from the text and go over them with the students. Eliciting from them if there is linking and where the stress is. Followed by drilling.
1. A link to Google Forms with a gap fill will be shared with the students. 2. They will be split into BoR and given 3 minutes to work out the answers with a partner. ICQ: Are we working alone or in pairs? Are we filling the gaps or just reading the questions? Do we have 2 or 3 minutes? 3. Back in class the students will be provided with the answers.
1. Students will be set following task: Pick a person from your family - your mom, your dad, your grandma, your sister, your child etc. Now think of what you know about their lives. 2. Ask each other questions about these people. Start with: Which person did you pick? Possible further questions: - When were they born? - What did they study? Did they like it? - What did they work as? Did they like it? - What were they like when they were younger? (When speaking about children, siblings) - What were they like when you were younger? (When speaking about grandparents, parents) Use the simple past when answering the questions! 3. To demonstrate I will have one student ask me the first question and one of the other questions. 4. Students will be split up into BoR to ask each other the questions for 7 minutes. ICQ: Are we talking or writing? Are we working in pairs or alone? Do we have 10 or 7 minutes? 5. Once back in class ask one or two of the students some of the questions.
