Procedure (30-70 minutes)
I will lead in and with telling the students what my lesson is about. I will set the context of how this lesson ties into the previous lesson with the theme of couples and discuss the meaning of first meetings. I will then setup the listening exercise by talking about the game show that relates to first meetings.
I will set up the first listening audio piece and then asked the students to answer True or False to the questions in the HO. I will pass out the HO and go over the questions first before listening to the audio. Maybe listen to the audio twice if I feel the students didn't get it the first time. This is an individual activity but I will encorage peer checks. Tapescript 11 will run 1:08
I will ask the class to break into groups with the students close to them and work on section 2 of the HO which involves the following: 1. Fillling in the correct tense for the six questions. 2. Listening to the audio and finding the answer to the six questions involving Rosie. I will provide instructions after getting them into groups and use the first question as an example of how to use the correct tense. Tapescript 12 will run 1:48
The students will be in the same group when listening to the last piece of audio. The AIM is to see if David's answers match Rosie's answers. I will instruct the students to use a check mark for the same answers and an x for different answers. Tapescript 13 will run 1:11
I will make the students go back into pairs and list the different ways/places people can first meet. Some examples will be: 1. Friends 2. Family 3. Street 4. Class 5. Work 6. Vacation (holiday) 7. Facebook (Internet) 8. Public Transportation (Subway, bus, dolmus)
