Procedure (41-51 minutes)
Students will listen to the sound of a roller coaster, ask the students if they can recognize the sound and then I will elicit the words ( amusement park , theme park ). after that I will ask Ss a few questions about the topic to build interest and prepare them for the coming reading task.
Student will be given a HO of a modified page of a reading under the title ( ten facts about amusement parks ) that include 4 questions that will allow students to 1- be exposed to the TL, 2- practice their reading skill ( scan-reading sub-skill ). they'll get to read the text , answer 4 short questions about the text, check their answers with their partner and then get a feedback ( answer-key given to students )
[They have been to an amusement park], will be the sentence ( taken from the reading text ) that the Grammar lesson will be built around. after the meaning has been explained and checked (CCQs , is the actions in the past? yes. do we know when it happened in the past? no ) two other forms will be explained [ they have never been] and the Q form [ have you been ? ] , after checking the meaning , and the form , students will learn the pronunciation and we'll do some drilling ( note. pronunciation might be taught with the form )
Students will be given a HO from the same page, they will rewrite and complete sentences to form questions. after they have finished they will get to check their answers with their partner followed by a WC FB. after they have got the right questions, (pairs changed if possible) students will take turns asking their partners these questions. ( error correction if necessary )
Students will be asked to mingle and ask other students in class about whether they have or haven't done the thing mentioned in the questions ( HO from the previous stage ), and write the names of the students who HAVE done those things, after a few minutes of speaking ( and monitoring ) students will be given WC feedback ( error correction; errors they made while speaking )
a quick recap, Teacher will ask random questions about things students have done, and ask them about other students ( which will allow students to use TL in third person form )
