Procedure (34-45 minutes)
I will make the Ss read the listening exercise that they have done previously with Mitchel. They will read the text in pairs and then only one pair will read and act it out loud in front of the whole class. The text includes the grammar point of the day, but the Ss do not know this. So, right after the whole class activity I will pick at least two sentences that are linked to grammar of the day (from the very text that they have just read), and make them think about it for a bit..
I will keep the focus of the Ss on the TL in Grammar ex 1a/b by pw/gw. Will take some FB and focus on meaning.
ex 2a might appear as repetition for some students but it will manage to strengthen their understanding. (I believe,repetition is needed.) With ex 2a, my aim is to make the Ss capable of using the target verbs of the day in the right grammatical form.
I will demonstrate my own solution to my own personal problem to create an example and then, I will ask the Ss to talk about their own problems and make suggestions and give each other advice by simply using the verb+ing from 1a. I will monitor this activity and towards the end, correct their errors with whole class.
