Procedure (36-45 minutes)
- Introduce learners to new friend called "Monkey" who is a cat by showing his picture on screen. - Ask them what they think Monkey does in his daily life. - Start showing pictures in a ppt of Monkey doing various daily activities but it's funny because it's human activities such as work hard, make money, sleep early etc. - learners start forming simple present sentences describing the pictures such as " He works hard." - Show each sentence on screen after learners answer it.
- Ask the first question to a learner to show other learners how to the activity. - Have learners practise in pairs in the breakout rooms the following questions: Do you smoke? Do live in a flat? Do you like football? Do you read a newspaper every day? Do you wear glasses? - Bring them back to the main room and ask some of them about their partners for example: "Amira, does Yousef smoke?" " No, he doesn't". - Check that ss know the vocabulary mentioned above through quick questions to random learners for example: "Iman, which is bigger a flat or a house?" or "Shima, name a famous football player".
- Show an example paragraph of mine about a Chinese family. - Give students one minute to read my paragraph. - Ask them some CCQ questions about the Chinese family. - Then tell students that they will now write their own paragraph about an Egyptian family. - Share the exercise sentences with them on screen but change the picture into some pictures on an Egyptian family. - Give them a minute to read them and take a picture. - Show them Padlet and how they will use it to write at least 10 sentences about the Egyptian family then ask some ICQ questions. - Give them 10 minutes for the writing task while monitoring in Padlet. PS. writing will be done anonymously without names on it on the padlet wall.
- Ask for volunteers to read a paragraph out loud then ask everyone to guess who wrote this one and finally, ask the writer to reveal themselves and then add their name to it. - Keep doing step1 until we finish all paragraphs. - Play a game of who can spot a mistake where learners try to find any grammar or spelling errors on the wall. - Do a quick pronunciation revision where I say the difficult words and they repeat after me. - Summarize what we learned and how to watch out for potential errors. - Bring the actual cat "Monkey" to the camera to say bye to learners.
