Procedure (42-52 minutes)
I will stick some photos on the wall around the class. First, they will talk about the photos in pair for a couple of minutes. Then I will ask their ideas about the photos and I will write some of their ideas on the WB. After that, I will give them vocabulary HOs related to the photos and they will try to match to photos in groups.
I will read a quotation as a dictogloss. I will tell the students that I am going to read them a quotation. They must listen and try to remember as much as they can. After that I will read it again but this time it will be faster. Then, I will ask students to work in pairs and try to reconstruct as much of it as they can. Finally, I will show them the quotation and they will try to write an ending to the quotation in pairs.
At this part, the students will talk about the importance of environment. they will talk about the problems and the solutions of the city they live in. Each group or pair must find at least one problem and a solution for it and it must be written down.
After pair work, The classroom will split up into two parts. As a group they will study on the problems and the solutions which they have found in the previous part. They have to add at least one solution under each problem as a group.
While the students were studying I will walk around them and I will try to catch some mistakes and I will use them anonymusly on the WB at the end of the lesson.
