Procedure (43-57 minutes)
- T presents a slide with pictures of a reality show (Men vs. WIld) and ask ss if they know or have seen the show. - If ss haven't seen it or don't know it, T gives them a brief summary of what is it about. - T presents 2 mins of the show. - Then T asks learners: - Where is he? - What things do you think he would need to survive there? / what would you take with you? (Together they brainstorm some ideas and T takes note of them)
- Ss are provided with a script of two friends talking about what they would take with them if they were Bear Grylls. - T displays a picture with different items and asks learners to circle or mention what objects the speakers agreed to take with them.
- T asks learners to find the bolded expressions in the text and classify them if they show agreement, disagreement, suggestion. - Ss are asked to compare their answers. - OCFB - T addresses how to use said expressions by providing examples. - Drills pronunciation of the expressions.
- In pairs, ss are asked to come up with a list of 6 items to pack if they were to survive in that jungle of the show. - Once they have their lists, they will share them with the rest of the class and the reasons they chose those items. + If there is time available, change the location (the african savannat, Iceland's arctic, a dessert island) and let them come up with other lists of items.
- During the productive task T takes notes of ss' utterances for DEC. - Together they do a review of the language and how to use it. - T asks ss to provide examples / drill pronunciation depending on the type of errors ocurred.
