Procedure (33-50 minutes)
Firstly, I will display a picture of someone blowing out candles on their birthday and ask the Ss what they're doing. Secondly, I will ask them what they do in that moment (make a wish). The Ss will then ask their partners these two questions: 1. What is your biggest dream? 2. Mention three things you wish to come true. O/C feedback will follow.
I will display a picture of a person daydreaming about buying an expensive car. I will elicit from the Ss what this person is doing, whether or not he can afford the car. Lastly, I will ask the Ss to form a sentence describing the picture.
Meaning: I will display the marker sentence using the PPT. I will use CCQs to ensure the Ss understand the meaning of the sentence. I will then elicit the usage of the second conditional: 1. Imaginary situations. 2. Advice. Form: I will write the marker sentence on the WB and elicit the form from the Ss. I will then write the form on the board. Pronunciation: I will elicit the sentence stress and intonation. Lastly, I will drill two sentences with the students.
Ss will work in pairs to fill in the gaps with correct forms of the verbs in brackets. I will demo the first one with the Ss. An answer key will be provided.
I will give each student three pieces of paper, each will contain a question. Ss will work in pairs, asking each other these questions and then switch partners. I will also encourage them to converse even more and ask other questions that may come to their minds. O/C feedback will follow.
