Procedure (29-38 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will start the class by talking about the things that happened yesterday and the things I did. I will ask my students to say if they have had a similar day.

Highlighting (2-3 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I will write some of my students sentences on the board in the correct form to draw their attention to the TL.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

I will clarify the meaning by drawing a timeline on the board and elicit the meaning by asking some CCQs like: (Is the action about the past, present or future? past) (Is the action completed? Yes) (Can I mention the time in this sentence? Yes). I will work on the form by asking my students the role of the words in the sentences (sub/verb). I will work on the regular verbs by giving them some examples of verbs that we add ed to them.

Students are going to do exercise 1A on page 45 in 4 minutes individually. after that they are going to check their answers in pairs.
