Procedure (36-44 minutes)
I will write 'Natural Events/Disasters' on WB and give one example like tsunami. Ss will tell which events/disasters they know.
Ss read the definitions and match them with the pictures of natural events by working in pairs/groups in 3 minutes. I nominate Ss and they tell the answers and write them on WB. Other Ss state if they agree.
Before going to next stage I pre-teach lexis which they will use for the next activity such as irritated, starving, chuffed, nightmare. Some CCQs like Does it bother me? Yes, or Is it something nice for me? No. Am I happy with the situation? Yes. Do I need to eat something now? Yes. Is this dream nice or bad for me? Bad. Tell their part of speech. Show stress, model and drill.
Ss read the sentences in ex-4 and complete them with a partner in two minutes. Then We will listen to a record about the experiences of a boy called Matt in a hurricane. Ss check their answers whilelistening to it. I nominate Ss, they come to the WB and write their answers. Others state if they agree or not.
Ss think about a natural event they previously experienced or they saw in the news or newspaper. Or they simply try to make one up. They, in groups, talk about it and how they felt during the event using the vocabulary and sentences they learned. While they are doing so, I monitor them and note down the mistakes they've made. After they finish, they will try to self correct the mistakes and I will clarify.
