Speaking practice (Ali and Merve) (12-15 minutes) • Practice both grammar (present simple 3rd singurlar) and speaking

Post the pictures of Ali and Merve on the board. For each of them write THE TIMING (on Friday, in the evening, etc.) next to the picture for each activity. Ali: swimming (on Friday), cards (on Saturday evening), computer games (in the evening), fishing (on Sunday), football (Friday evening) He goes for a swim on Friday evening after the school.

She likes reading books to her brother in the evening. She goes roller skating with the father to the park on Friday. She visits her grandparents each Sunday afternoon. Merve goes to the cinema on Sunday. Split the class in 2 groups: one speaks about Ali, the other one about Merve. Give them 5 mins to talk about Ali's and Merve's activities. They speak, no writing. Bring the groups in front of the class. One st from Merve tells a sentence for Merve, then the other from Ali, about Ali. Pay attention to the discussion cause you have to answer questions about Ali and Merve. Now, regroup them: apple, banana, apple, banana. (so we have 2 new mixed groups). In pairs (one apple and one banana) speak about Merve and Ali. Get them back to their places and ask them to do the TRUE/FALSE worksheet about Ali (the ones that discussed about Merve) and Merve (the ones that discussed about Ali). Rely on their memory (no worksheet provided yet). Ask the questions and let them correct you (tell you the correct answers), as a class. All the time pay attention to #S# usage. Drill it or corrected whenever required. At the end of the activity provide them the Ali's page and Merve's page. TRUE/FALSE sentences: Ali plays table tennis with his friends on Friday evening. (F - FOOTBALL) Ali goes fishing on Sunday morning (T) Ali plays cards on Sunday (F - SATURDAY) Merve visits her grandparents on Friday (F - ON SUNDAY) Merve goes shopping on Saturday (T) Merve goes roller skating on Sunday (F - ON FRIDAY)

Throw the ball game (8-8 minutes) • Practice the vocab and grammar and fluency in context of their own free time activities

Students are asked to talk in pairs about their free time activities. They have 3' to create the sentences. Then ask them to stay on a circle on the floor. Using a ball they talk about their activities: I say: 'I meet my friends on Saturday evening' then I throw the ball to another student. That one tells his sentence and then he trows the ball to other one and so on till all of them told all the sentences.
