Procedure (45-74 minutes)
Go through the presentation eliciting the words for each picture, drilling the pronunciation for each word while it is still shown, followed up by showing all the pictures and the written form of the words. Finally check the students can remember by using the slide with all the pictures but no words.
Using the presentation explain the structure for "there is" and "there are". CCQ - "_______ 10 buses" and "_______ a museum" to check the use of there is vs there are.
Use the presentation to give the students the basic language enabling them to check their answers with a peer "What have you got for...?" and "I have got..."
Give the students the HO and ask them to underline the correct one for each, they should work individually
Using the language they have just learnt get the students to check their answers to the HO with a partner, Monitor them as they are doing it to ensure they are using english to check.
Get the students to listen to the recording so that they can identify the correct answers to the questions. Post listening give students the correct answers via HO
I will show the students the information about St Petersburg via the presentation and explain to them that using the words in bold, they will create a sentence for each word using "there is" or "there are", to ensure they understand the instructions properly I will first go through one example on the board having the students complete it - "there is an international airport" Once this example has been completed I will give the students the HO. The students will complete this on their own.
In this section of the lesson I will ask for one sentence for each word in the given text, the students will check their own work by way of checking that everyone agrees with the given sentence, after each sentence I will drill the sentence with them and then provide the written form on the board.
I will explain to the students that I have information on two cities and that they will be given one, I will split the class in to two groups - group A and group B and have them work together to create the sentences.
The students must now pair up with someone from the opposite group, in their pairs they must find out which facilities exist in City A but not in City B and vice versa. I will close out this lesson by using the last slide in the presentation to show two columns A | B. The students with the City A handout must now fill in the column for city B and vice versa.
