Procedure (43-53 minutes)
- Show Ss a copy of a worksheet with just the text from the interview on face2face pp. 22-23 and a couple pictures. - Instruct Ss to underline/highlight all the present simple verbs they can find in the interview. - Pair feedback. - Summon Ss to write the verbs they found on the board one-by-one.
- Ask CCQs to check understanding of the usage of this tense. - Put the sentence "I get up at 5 o'clock," on the board, and underneath it the sentence "I getting up at 5 o'clock," and elicit which one is right. Erase the 'getting up' sentence, and in the correct sentence underline the verb in one color and the subject in another. - Make a conjugation table, illustrating that I, you, we, you (pl), and they all use the same verb form. With a bracket after the whole table, illustrate that time adverbials are used after the subject and a simple present verb (but don't focus on this).
- Hand Ss a worksheet with three boxes, one labeled "you" and the other two labeled "partner 1" and "partner 2." Instruct the students to fill in the "you" box with sentences about themselves in the present simple. - After a couple minutes or as long as it takes for most students to complete a few sentences about themselves, put students in pairs and instruct them to read their sentences to their partner, and write what their partner says in the box "partner 1." Then switch partners and repeat for "partner 2." - WC feedback - call on a couple students to read sentences from themselves and their partners, and mark mistakes for FB.
- Model a sentence with option 1 / option 2 on the board so it's clear Ss should choose one. - Instruct Ss to guess the correct option on the worksheet. Pass out the worksheets. - Ss check in pairs. - Play the recording, Ss check their answers.
- Use the basic two words in a question along with fingers to elicit the whole question from Ss. - Show Ss the worksheet and instruct them to put the words in order and make correct sentences. - After a few minutes Ss check with partners. - WC feedback.
- Instruct Ss to ask each other the wh- questions with a partner and give their responses. - Switch partners. - Monitor for mistakes to board. - WC FB mistakes on board.
