When the students are finished they change their sheets and each student tries to write the plural forms in front of the singular ones. After they are done with the task the teacher calls some pairs to the front of the class to read their words loud to the whole class.

Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set the context and involve the students

The teacher talks about the party she is going to have at her house. She lets the students know there is nothing left in her fridge and she needs to go shopping. she shows the slides to the students and ask them to help her and say what she needs to buy. The teacher reviews some vocabulary through elicitation.

The teacher writes her shopping list on the board and write numbers in front of countable nouns and some in front of uncountable nouns. She explains the difference between the nouns and after she finishes with her list, invites the students for choral repetition. She writes sample sentences according to her list and explains the use of some in affirmative sentences and any in negatives and questions.

Controlled Practice (6-8 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Teacher provides instructions for the task before giving the HO1 to the students. students individually underlines the correct words before checking the answers in pairs. Teacher reads out the correct answers to the WC. Teacher puts the students in groups and gives the second HO to them. It is a short conversation.
