Procedure (29-45 minutes)
-T shows two photos, one of a happy smiley and one of an unhappy one and explains what she likes doing or hates doing -T tries to elicit the topic by putting the smileys on the board and making a line (hate-love on the edges)
- on the board, the words such as like, love, hate, quite like, really like; and the pictures of activities are shown - T gives Ss the words (vocabulary) - Ss come to the board and choose a photo that matches to the word they have in hands and put it somewhere between hate and love and say the expressions out loud - T focuses on eliciting the form by writing down one of the sentences the Ss have provided and highlighting v-ing or a noun -T shows the picture and Ss say the whole sentence (e.g. 'I like travelling.') - Ss do a gap-fill activity in pairs -peer-check in groups -feedback if necessary - Ss read their sentences to the class
- in pairs Ss practice vocabulary: each pair has a different smiley and Ss have to use the correct adverb, according to the smiley they are given (e.g. a smiley that presents 'really like'- Ss name 3 things they really like) - Ss have to say 3 sentences using the correct word-base verb (smiley) and a noun or gerund from the previous activity (each Ss is given 3 different pictures) - Ss change places and photos when finished (move to the next smiley) - peer checking-Ss sit and in groups explain the last smiley - T monitors and writes on the board some wrong and some right sentences. Ss guess and correct the wrong ones
-T elicits the topic of the reading (and listening at the same time) from the Ss (Redston, C. & Cunningham, G. (2005) Face2Face Elementary SsBk Cambridge University Press, p 32) - Ss do a reading for general understanding (answer the questions: 'How old is Mark?', 'What does he do?' - Ss check in pairs - WC-talk - Ss do a detailed reading by focusing on things Mark likes doing and one thing he doesn't like doing. - Ss write down the answers and check in group - WC discussion
- in pairs Ss match given questions to the answers given - Ss check in groups - WC feedback- Ss listen and check
