The session will start with a video clip of Pink Floyd's Money. After playing the clip for a few minutes I will ask students what they think the subject of this lesson will be. After eliciting the word MONEY and asking what they think about this subject, I will continue the lesson with the reading task.

The following will be given to students for reading text: "Money: It is believed that money makes the world go around. It is one of the most important things in our lives. Without money we can not get things we need to live a comfortable life. We have to work to earn money. We can keep our money in a bank or as cash which is the most common form of money. Cash can be either made of paper called banknotes (notes) or metallic coins. Credit cards and checks (or cheques) are also another form of money we can use to buy what we need. We can get cash from cashpoints (ATM’s) using our PIN (Personal Identification Number). We usually keep our cash in our purse or wallet. We should not share our PIN with anyone else to protect our money in the bank. Using credit cards or ATM cards made life much easier by allowing us to buy without carrying lots of cash in our wallets or purses" After the reading task is finished, I will ask students what they think about the gist of the text is.

Some of the words in the reading text will be discussed. One expression of particular interest is Money makes the world go around. The metaphor used in this sentence will be clarified. Some Concept Checking will also be used to verify Ss understood the whole meaning of the text they read.

Vocabulary to be covered in this stage are as follows: Money, World go around Checks, Comfortable Cash Cashpoint (ATM) Banknotes Coins Purse Wallet PIN Liquid, Liquidity

A sample letter from a student will be given to Ss. Sample letter is asking advice about the money problems she is having. Ss will be asked in group work to discuss what kind of advice they would give to this particular student. The text of the letter is as follows: “I’m a student in Izmir. This is a very expensive city and I don’t get lot of money. My parents pay my university fees but they can’t afford to give me any extra money. I have a part time job in a restaurant, but it doesn’t pay very much. I’m using my credit cards a lot and now I’m in debt. What can I do?”
