I will introduce the grammar in a guided discovery exercise. I am going to write some sentences with gaps and students should complete them with the correct preposition.

Grammar Box (2-4 minutes) • To help students learn how to use prepositions of cities and regions correctly.

Students read the grammar point in the grammar box. Teacher asks CCQs to make sure students understand the rules.

Students complete the information about themselves and then they tell one another.

Students read a short texts with alternatives and they have to choose the correct one.

Listening EX 1 (3-4 minutes) • To help students develop their listening for specific information

Students listen to a conversation and cross out the words they don't hear.

Speaking Ex 2 (5-7 minutes) • To enable students practice using prepositions in a semi-controlled speaking activity

Students work in pairs to talk about themselves using the listening text as a model.

Speaking activity as a time filler (10-12 minutes) • To enable students to talk about their familhy and firends using prepositions and lexis about cities and regions

I will write five names on the board as a demonstration to the activity. Students should ask me questions about those people. They should start with 'who is...? and then 'what' where' etc. Next students do the same and ask and answer about their family and friends. In this activity, students have the chance to practice using present simple with he and she as well as prepositions used with cities and regions.
