Procedure (12-16 minutes)
I enter the class holding prepared oatmeal. After the greeting, I tell them I go to the gym and I'm on a bulk and I like breakfast, then I ask them whether they go to the gym or not and whether they like oatameal, and know how to make it. 1 : Enter the class holding preapred oatmeal 2 : greeting 3 : tell them I go to the gym, ask : do you go the gym? 4 : I like breakfast, my favourite breakfast is oatmeal. Do you like it? Do you know how to make it?
I give them a handout with the scrambled stages of making oatmeal. I ask them order the steps individually. 1 : stand in front of the class, show them the handout, put it on my chest so everyone can see it. Instruction : You get this paper which is about the process of making oatmeal, but the steps are not in order. Individually order the steps, you have 2 minutes. ICQs : A : Are the stages ordered or not ordered? B : Are you going to do it with your friend or alone? C : How much time do you have? then handouts are disturbued. 2 : After the former stage, I give them a passage which is about the process of making oatmeal, they should read the text and check it with their friends. they have 3 minutes. again I put the handout on my chest and explain them what they are going to do. ICQs : A : What are you going to do? Just read the passage or read it and check it with your steps? B : are you going to do it alone or with your friend? C : How much time do you have?
I ask a volunteer to make outmeal with the help of his classmates, if no one showed up, I'd ask somone myself, If this plan failed, I'd do it myself. Introduction to the student who is making outmeal : Put on the passive mask, Listen to your friends and do what they tell you. ICQs : are you going to be yourself or the passive mask? I ask their groups to read the ordered stages, I ask them to read the EXACT sentence, and at the same time that they are reading I show them the slides in which the target language is highlighted. Instruction to the class : read the steps for the passive mask. ICQs : are you going to make oatmeal or read the stages for the passive mask? Are you going to read it all together or group by group?
MEANING : I start asking questions about the PASSIVE MASK, I ask them : A : do you know who made the oatmeal? B : which one is important? the person who did it or THE PROCESS? FORM : I show them some slides about how to form simple present passive sentences. In order to clarify more, I explain that when the subject is unknown or unimportant or obvious we use passive voice. I then try to elicit the structure with their help, I ask them what's the first word? (Subject) What comes after it? (am, is , are) What about this verb? is it simple form? past form? or past participle? PRONUNCIATION : I use substituion drill, I stand in front of the class and use my fingers. I avoid overmodeling. I first ask the whole class, then I change the keyword and ask one student, then I want all on the right to repeat, all on the left to repeat, then I ask one student and change the keyword and ask all men to repeat and all woemn to repeat. Drills : oat is added====whey powder whey powder is added====milk Milk is added===banana Banana is added===sliced Banana is sliced
