- Show 4 pictures to the Ss and give Ss five possible choices of countries that they might be from (1 is incorrect). - Ask Ss "where are you from?", point to picture and ask "where is she from?". Ss in pairs discuss which people come from which countries. Ask for FB from Ss, ask why.

T explains the following vocab: Married, student, teacher, doctor. Checks for PRON. Explain using CCQ: Are you a teacher? No, are you a student? Yes, are you married? Ask students how these words are spelled and write them on the board.

WS has a text that Ss must match with a picture. Explain activity using ICQs. Ss are given 2 minutes to read the text, they are reading for gist. Ss must then match the text with the picture. Give Ss quick FB. T writes answers on WB.

On the same WS, Ss scan the text to find specific information. Ss transfer the info from the text onto the table. Table categories: country/job/city and country/married. Ss then check with a partner. Different Ss come to the WB and fill in the information.

Write "I'm Canadian" on the board, underneath write "Ben Kanadalıyım" and underline the two words. Then underline "I" and "Canadian" and circle "m", illicit from Ss what's different. Take two sentences from the text: "I'm Chun Hei" and circle "m", then write "My name's Elisaveta", circle the "s" and illicit from Ss the meaning of the "s". If some or all of the students are confused, do Finger Contractions: hold up my hand and point to each finger and say "My name is Elisaveta" and lump "name" and "is" together and say "name's". (Scrivener 2010: 11).

Show Ss cue cards with "I / teacher" structure, students respond with "I'm a teacher". Flip through multiple cards, when Ss struggle with a card, put it aside and further explain the structure afterwards.

Provide Ss with HO. Ss complete interdependently, but this is flexible, may allow PW if it only a few Ss are struggling. This section may require further explanation on how to make negative contractions.

Using the previous HO, students are assigned A B roles (or A, B, B roles in groups of 3). A reads the sentence and B gives the changed sentence. After a few minutes, Ss swap roles.

Write a text about myself on the WB using the target language "I'm Melanie. I'm a teacher from Ottawa, Canada. I'm married." Ss write a similar text and we correct them. If time allows, Ss give me all their sheets and I will mix them up and hand them back to different Ss. Then each Ss reads the passage and the class tries to guess who wrote it.
