Main Aims

  • To provide practice and clarification of language used for probability, likelihood and speculation in the context of graphene and plastic

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide accuracy and fluency speaking practice in a conversation in the context of graphene and plastic
  • To provide gist and specific information listening practice using a text about graphene in the context of after plastic

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

1. Greet ss. 2. Ask ss to take a look around and see everything that surrounds them. Ask them to write on the jamboard as many things as they can see made out of plastic (2-3min)

Exposure (5-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

1. Ask ss the following questions before listening to the recording: a. Why do the speaker say that this material will be for 21st century what plastic was for the 20th? b. Is this material painted in a good light? 2. Play the recording (2:15 min) 3. Ss answer the questions by nomination if no one interacts

Clarification (16-17 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

1. Ss will place on a thermometer the probability phrases introduced according to the degree of certainty/uncertainty in BORs in pairs or groups of three (3-4 min) 2. T displays answers and checks meaning by asking CCQs in case there are wrong answers. (2min) 3. Ss go back to BORs in the same groups to unjumble the sentences. (5-6min) 4. T clarifies form and pronunciation by asking FCQs and nominating ss to read each sentence out loud. (4min)

Controlled Practice (4-5 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

1. Ss will join a Kahoot! (1min) 2. Ss will play the Kahoot! trivia (3min)

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

1. Ss will discuss in BORs about what they heard on the recording vs some news. They can do a little research if they feel more confident that way. 2. Ss share some ideas with T and the rest of the group. 3. T goes with error correction and ask ss to see where's the error or how it could be improved.
