Procedure (55-90 minutes)
when you are tired, it's good to have a good place to go... I was looking for a house. How many types of houses do we have? Are all of them normal?
Put the pictures of the new words on the board one by one, while they are talking about them. unusual/ tree house/ igloo/ crooked house/ architect.
Ask CCQs: -Number the pictures. Then ask them which one is a tree house? -Show them a normal house and an unusual house. Ask them which one is unusual? Write the words under the pictures and ask them to repeat after you.
-Ask them to gist read the text for about 4 minutes. Ask them ICQs: Are you going to answer the questions? No. Are you going to just read the text? Yes. -Ask them to answer this question in pair.(Where do you think the houses are?) -Put the pictures on the board and ask them: Which one do you like? why?
-Book: read the text again and answer the questions. -Feedback: First check in pair, then with the whole class.
Put maps of some houses on the board and number them. S1 describes a house, S2 says the number.
- Role play: S1 wants to buy an unusual house; S2 is a Real estate agent (a house seller).
