Description

In this lesson Ss will practice reported speech grammar.

Materials

Main Aims

  • To provide clarification, review and practice of reported speech in the context of living green

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide gist reading practicing skimming using a text about journalist trying to live an ethical lifestyle in the context of living green
  • To provide accuracy speaking practice in the context of living green

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Begin with a general explanation about being environmentally 'ethical' or 'green living'. What could that mean. T shows some pictures of ethically living things from PP. Have students talk about how they are living green. Students will be told to read the article and think of a title.

Exposure (5-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Ss will quickly read/skim text for gist so students will have the context for exercise 4A in the next stage. Ss come up with a title.

Highlighting (3-5 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Ss will do ex. 4A to see the reported speech opportunities in the text. Check in pairs.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

T will give the students the rules in a handout, students with a partner write a two-word definition for each. T elicits the four rules and Ss write them on the board. Ss will match slips of paper on the board example sentences with the rules. Individually Ss will figure out which example sentence goes to which rule. Check in pairs, then they will put them on the board next to the rule. T provides FB. With a few sentence examples, T goes through CCQs to clarify meaning/form if there are some incorrect and to test understanding before moving onto controlled practice. See examples and CCQs in Analysis sheet.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

Play a game where I say a statement, students have 30 seconds in pairs to say the response, and write it on the board. Class provides peer-feedback. See Dialogue doc for sentences and key.

Semi-Controlled Practice (10-15 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

T gives students 'Laura' or 'Jenny' scripts. They read it and ask any questions. Then will tell their partner what 'Laura' or 'Jenny' said they do to decrease their footprint. Students should compare and contrast the two women as to what they do to 'live green'. T will monitor and provide delayed FB on WB.
