Procedure (33-45 minutes)

Warmer (3-5 minutes) • To engage students in a learning process

Ask students the following questions - How are you? What did you do today? Encourage them to ask each other.

Lead-in (4-6 minutes) • To introduce the topic to the students and engage them to soeak about it.

In PowerPoint show the places form Harry Potter movies and ask: Where do you think Harry Potter stories started? Which place looks the most magical?

Pre-Listening (5-7 minutes) • To prepare students for the listening and make it accessible

Students match the words with their definitions to understand the meaning, then drill the words (orally and individually) to hear them correctly in the video.

While-Listening (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information listening task

Say that students need to watch a video and match the places with the words about them. They watch the video once and do it, then they add one more word to each group while listening for the second time.

Post-Listening (7-9 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Students give their answers on which place from the video they would like to visit and why, also they play a game on guessing the places by their description and role-play a converastion between a reporter and a young wizard. A reporter asks questions (on the slide), a young wizard chooses a place from the video and answers the questions.

Cool down (4-6 minutes) • To consolidate the lesson and collect some feedback from students about the lesson

Show a slide with the dice, teach students to show the numbers with their hands - a fist (zero), 1 finger (one), 2 fingers (two) (only four points). Show the first example yourself. Then students do it themselves and choose the sentence about the lesson to complete.
