  • To provide clarification and practice of was/were in the context of days to remember.

Procedure

Lead-in/Exposure (5-7 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T will write six incomplete sentences starting with [s + was/were] on the board from the listening and ask if ss can remember them. Ss will talk in pairs to remember the rest of the sentences. Feedback: T asks for volunteers and gives a HO of each text to every three/four ss to check as a whole class.

Exposure (An extension of lead-in) (4-6 minutes) • To provide personalised context for the target language through customisable models

T will erase some content words from the board to let ss personalise the sentences. Ss work in pairs to tell each other their own sentences. Feedback: T will ask for one or two ideas.

Clarification (5-7 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

T will write/highlight the marker sentence "I was at the World Cup Final in Paris in 1998." and ask CCQs about the tense, together with a timeline. T will deconstruct the marker sentence through elicitation, and elicits different persons and the negative. T will drill the marker sentence, affirmative and negative, with regard to weak and strong pronunciations of "was" and "were".

Controlled Practice (3-5 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

T will give a HO of page 63, ex.3b and ss choose the correct answers. Feedback: Ss work in pairs to compare, followed by WCFB.

Semi-Controlled Practice (5-7 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

T will give a HO of page 63, ex.5a and ss choose the correct answers. Feedback: Ss work in pairs to compare, followed by WCFB (with justifications).

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

T will give a HO of p. 63 ex. 6 to each s and give about 3 mins. for them to prepare notes. Ss will first talk in pairs, and then in groups of four to find similarities. Feedback: Whole class feedback
