Procedure (45-48 minutes)
-Introduce yourself briefly, ask one or two questions around the room, do this for a minute maximum. -Ask students 'What's my job'- elicit 'teacher'
-Elicit other jobs from the SS. Ask some SSmarker pens, they can come to the board and write a few jobs on the board. -Give each student a copy of the students book, p12. Ask students to match the words to the pictures in ex.1. SS check in pairs. Group feedback. Drill each word once, but drill a second time if they are saying it very badly.
-Ask students again' what's his job?' and elicit 'he's a footballer'. Ask SS the same questions for different pictures. Drill a couple more times. Then SS work in pairs, asking each other questions about the pictures, and answering. Monitor carefully here, students may make mistakes such as 'he is job lawyer'. -On the board write 'he's a doctor, she's a singer, 'he's an actor', 'she's an engineer'. Highlight the different a and an. See if you can get the students to notice why we sometimes use one and sometimes the other. Then point at the pictures again, students must say as a whole class 'he's an electrician' or 'he's a mıusician', for example.
-Ask SS to write four sentences about themselves. Demonstrate by saying the four sentences about yourself. Monitor, help students and ensure answers are mostly correct.
Put 4-6 pictures of very famous people that you think everyone will know onto the board. Write their names next to the pictures. Say some information such as ' he's form the USA', 'he's about 50', he's a musician' until somebody calls out the answer. Then ask students to do same in pairs. - Extra time : Have SS do WB p.7 exer. 9 and check in pairs.
