Procedure (45-45 minutes)
Show photos of favorite places my family likes to visit. Ask Ss which of those places require money to go to them and how much they think it costs. Ask Ss which places they like to go and whether or not those places cost money.
I will write several examples of various monetary units on the WB and ask Ss to identity them, as listed in Exercise 8a. Then I will show them the worksheet, explain the first task which is for them to practice dictating prices to each other, then I will move them into pairs.
After they practice drilling, I will ask them the questions in Exercise 7a. Next we will complete 7b, and I will recite the language on the ads myself, or play the audio files. Ss will peer check their answers.
Here I will briefly explain the task, which is to match the seller's part of a conversation with the buyer's in 9a. Then I will recite the correct order myself.
Using Exercise, we will work through the dialogue and I will write their answers on the WB. Next I will ask them to work in pairs, role-playing the parts. As they do this I will begin to erase the words on the board so they will not be able to keep looking back at the correct order. We will also switch times and money amounts for further practice. Finally I will ask a few of them to come up front to role play for the class.
We will do a short review of topics and I'll open it up for any questions they may have, then introduce the next lesson.
