Procedure (41-63 minutes)
I will start the lesson, by some kid of refresh. The students worked all the time with the same partner, they know each other, what I am going to do is, I will call the students by name to come and stand up like a train and I will be the driver, so while I walking between the chairs from the left part of the class to the right, they should follow me and at each chair one of the students (behind me) should sit down and we carry on till the end of the row. in this game they will stand up and walk have some kind of refresh, and the same important thing is dealing with new partner in today's lesson.
I will start by asking the students ( Do you watch TV ), and after they answer, I will go deep into details and ask, who is in films? and make sure that they know the words actor and actress. and the next question will be, the person who writes book is? after I got their definition as writer or author (both of them are acceptable), I will start by quick game, I prepared some recordings about some Turkish (actor, actress and author) I will let them lesson the recordings and replay it again. and after they discus with their partners I will check their answers, and show them his/her picture thought projector, and if they have difficulty knowing the person I will skip up and show them his picture without his/her name under it, so at this way they will improve their listening ability, and work in pair-group. after the end of my pictures, I will divide them into groups and give them 2 minutes to write some information about someone they know, and from each group one volunteer will come and say his/her sentences in front of the class and they should guess the person.
I will flash on the board 4 pictures of the actor, actress and author, and the students is going to listen after that to an audio where we have a radio show program, so I will pause the audio for 4 times, and at each time I will let them guess the name of the person who talked about in the audio. and at the end of the audio, I will ask them to listen again, at the end of the audio I have HO of 4 short paragraph each one has sentences with tricky word or date ..... I will do the first sentence and they are going to work first of all individually and guess the answer, after that I will make them check their answers with one partner. and after that as a group of 4 students should check the answers. after that I will ask about the answers.
I will talk in this stage about grammar, so I will use projector to show time line and to tell them that we have past, now and future. and I will write down on the board some sentences from the previous audio and discus the sentences and the form and the negative of the tense, after that I am going to emphasize about the use of (Last , Ago , Yesterday ). I will explain in brief the meaning of irregular verbs.
I made HO about irregular verb, so they are going to fill the past form. and after that I am going to give them HO which has 6 sentences, in which the students are going to rearrange the words to have clear and full sentence. and here I will emphasize about the adverbs (last , yesterday and ago).
I will ask the students to write, 5 sentences about their life in the past.
