Procedure (40-50 minutes)
Some true false questions will be asked. Is Canada a big country? Yes. Is it in Europe? No, in America. Do Canadians speak English? Yes. Is it a cold country? Yes. Is it usually sunny? No.
Stick photos on the WB and study them with Ss. Sunny, cold, snowy, windy etc. Write the vocab under photos. Check pronunciation chorally and individually. Pairs ask and repeat in each other. Show visuals of holiday pic.s on pg. 54. Divide Ss into new groups and pairs describe the photos to one another. I will monitor. Set the task about listening, they will put the the pic.s. in the correct order.
They listen to the record and do the ex-1 in Listening part. Pairs check their answers. Play the record again if necessary. Ss state their answers to the whole class and I will write on WB.
Deliver handouts on which lexis about holidays are written. Study them first with the Ss writing on WB. Check and correct pronunciation. Set their task: listen to the text again and find which of these lexis are mentioned in the record. They put a tick near the word or sentence If they hear them.
Ss listen again and while listening they do the ex-2 on page 55. Listen again if necessary . Pairs check the answers. Ss tell their answers and while they are telling, I will clarify the answers on WB at the same time.
Stick the Canada map on the course book on WB. Ss work in pairs and discuss: imagine this is Cross Canada Trip, would you like to visit these places? Why, why not? I monitor them. After they discuss, pairs will come to the WB and write what they think trying to use what they have learned. I praise them for the coorparation.
