Procedure (25-45 minutes)
- I am going to draw a schema on the WB which has two lines. I am going to write "red meat, fruit and vegetables" on the left side, " water, cups of coffee and alcohol" on the right side. - I will ask to the SS guess what are they about. I am going to ask some questions to help them guess easily. ( 1. What do we do with fruit? 2. What do we do with alcohol?) After they predict what those are, I will write their answers on the WB and they will be able to find the topic's name. (Eating and Drinking)
- I am going to elicit "how many and how much" forms accompany with one or two examples in case the students do not know them. - I am going to tell to the SS what they are supposed to do by giving clear and simple instructions. - I will organize the SS as a group of 3 (depends on the SS' number in the class) - I am going to give strips to the groups. ( Those strips which are entirely about how many and how much will include page 56' exercises) - The SS will match them with how many and how much. - After they finish their first speaking activity on matching exercise, they are going to stand up and start walking around to see other groups' mapping. - Lastly, I am going to give an AK that the SS see the correct answers. - I am going to ask to the SS which group guessed the correct answers more. - After they have a quick check the answers, I will put them as a pair. - They will use/ask those questions which were matched with how many and how much to each other, They will decide his/ her lifestyle is healthy or unhealthy. ( Is your partner's lifestyle healthy or unhealthy?)
- I am going to elicit "there is/ there are" on the WB. - I will give simple and clear instructions - I will organize the SS as a pair but with different partners - I am going to give the same picture for each pairs in the class. They are going to try to find those things. ( soup, prawns, chicken, plates, cups, knives, forks, spoons, sunglasses, a hat, a dress, feathers, balloons and drums) - As soon as they match those words with the items in the picture, they are going to have a listening part which is about describing the picture. They will numerate the things in the picture she describes. Before they start working on the listening part individually, I am going to do first listening as a demo so that they can easily comprehend what they are supposed to do.
- I am going to give very simple and clear instructions. - I will organize the students as a pair and give them one more picture which has some missing items when compared with the previous one that they had - Each partner will not look at his/her partner's picture. - They will have 10 minutes to find the differences between the two pictures.Also they are going to take some notes about her/his partner's answers. While they are asking the questions, they are supposed to use useful language parts ( A. Describing his/her own picture: In my picture......, there is a..........., there aren't/isn't any............, on the left side, on the right side, In the middle........ B. Asking questions: In your picture,is there a..........?, How many/much................. is/are there?, What colour is the ..........?) - I am going to ask to the class how many differences they found.
-I will monitor them during their activities and take their errors. - End of the lesson, I am going to reflect them on the WB. After that I will correct them that SS do not do those errors again.
