Procedure (48 minutes)
The teacher greets the students. Later she asks if they know about the Olympics, and whether they like watching the Olympics or not. She shows two pictures of famous Turkish athletes and the national volleyball team. The teacher asks students to talk if they know them. Later she shows Denise Lewis' pictures and asks if they know her. She takes answers from the WC.
The teacher says that they will read a text about Denise Lewis, but before that, there are 3 words - heptathlon, appear, commentator- they will learn. She gives students a matching activity and asks them to match the words with their meanings. Instruction: There are 3 words here, and you will match them with their meanings, with your partner (she shows them on the board.) You have 1 minute. ICQ: Are you working alone or with a partner? After one minute, she nominates students to get answers. She writes them on the board. Later she gives examples/explanations of each word. Later, they move on to the reading text.
The teacher shows the two questions above the text and asks students to read the text alone and choose the correct answers. Instruction: Now we will read a text about Denise Lewis. After you finish reading, do the first activity here (she shows); choose the correct answer. ICQ: What are we doing after reading the text? Alone or with a pair? After the teacher monitors and sees that everyone finished the task, she asks them to check their answers with their pairs. Instruction: Now check your answers with your pairs. You have one minute. She chooses two students and asks them to write their answers on the whiteboard. After that, they do WC feedback.
First, the teacher draws a stickman on the board and says that it is Denise Lewis. She then writes the sentence 'She lives in London' with colored pencils. She asks CCQs. Then she asks students to make the sentence a question. If they cannot come up with an answer, the teacher writes the end of the sentence and draws blank lines with the same colored board markers as words. After eliciting the question, she writes it on the board and asks if there is a place name in the question as CCQ. Then she asks the answer to the written question. After that, she again asks CCQs and writes the forms of the sentences by eliciting. Later on, she asks if they know wh- questions and asks for examples. She writes them on the board and She again writes Denise lives in London. Then, she asks 'Do I know the place she lives?' (yes). She erases London after getting answers and writes a question mark at the end of the sentence. She again asks the same question and elicits the target question. She writes 'Denise lives with her husband.' She does the same things to elicit who and the question itself. Lastly, she asks CCQs, writes the form, and drills.
After teaching grammar, the teacher makes students do activity 2a. Instruction: Now look at 2a, there are 8 questions, and 8 words here. You will fill in the blanks with these words with your pair. You have 5 minutes. ICQ: What are we doing now? With a partner or alone? After 5 minutes, the teacher nominates students to give answers and writes the answers on the board. Then, she changes a couple of students' seats. After that, the teacher asks students to read the text to answer the questions. She shows the correct version of the questions on the board. Instructions: Read the text again, and answer only 1,2,3,6, and 8th questions with your partner. ICQ: Which questions will you answer? With pairs or alone? The teacher monitors and again gets answers by nominating the students. She wants students to show evidence from the text.
In this activity, the students will match the questions with the answers. Instruction: There are 8 sentences and 8 answers (she shows them on the board). Match them alone. You have 3 minutes. ICQ: In pairs or alone? After 3 minutes, T: Now check your answers with your pair. Again, the teacher nominates students to get answers.
The students complete the questions in pairs. The teacher does the first 2-3 as examples. Instruction: There are 8 questions here, and you will complete them. Let's do the first ones together. Okay, you have 4 minutes, work in pairs to complete the sentences. ICQ: Are you working alone? The teacher nominates students to get answers.
