Procedure (38-51 minutes)
I will commence by asking the students why they go to supermarkets. As they will respond by saying food, the context will be set and I will show a picture of a trolley. I will present the word if they cannot guess it and then do concept checking questions:Do most supermarkets have them? (yes) Do you bring them back to your house? (no) we will drill and then I will write it on the board. I will highlight the stress. Then, I will show a picture of people checking out at the supermarket. This will lead to the eliciting of (check out) which will follow the steps above. I will introduce the third word by showing a picture of a full shopping basket and saying: we pay for the..... This will allow me to present the word (contents) and therefore follow with the same steps.
I will now provide the students with instructions to be in groups of 4-5 and write down any food items they can think of to fit under healthy foods and unhealthy foods. The time limit is 3 minutes. This will be done on HO1. We will check as a WC briefly.
I will write on the W/B: Are the British eating healthier food nowadays? The students will be told that they will have to read the text in 2 minutes and answer the question. Then, HO1 will be given to them. They will be encouraged to check their answers with their groups.
I will group the students by telling them to come and choose a color and then go stand by their colors. They will then be directed to sit in a new group. Next, I will tell them to highlight all the names of foods in the text individually as fast as they can. They will check their answers as a group. They will then be given a matching sheet and cut-up pictures (1 for each group) to work together and match the pictures with the correct names. Early finishers can check with other groups. I will put the pictures up on the W/B with their correct names slowly throughout this activity.
I will ask the students to read the first 2 paragraphs carefully and answer the questions on Detailed reading HO1. They will be given 3 minutes to do this. Then, they can check their answers as a group. Three people who had been given the answers to one question each prior to the start of class will mentioned and the students have to find them and check their answers.
They will be asked to the rest of the reading again and answer the questions on Detailed reading HO2. They will be given 3-4 minutes to do so. The answers will slowly appear on the W/B by the time most of them will have finished. They can check their answers individually as time is limited now.
All of the groups will be given Speaking questions to discuss amid one another. I will be monitoring with a piece of paper and recording their errors. As we are approaching the last few minutes of class, I will write their errors and some correct sentences on the W/B. Their attention will then be directed towards me and we will auction off the sentences.
