Procedure (37-49 minutes)
T greets students and ask a lead-in question: "What kind of places can you find in a city?" T writes the word 'places' on the WB and elicit brainstorming. T asks students to talk about what they can do in the different places the T has elicited. T leads OCFB.
T introduces Handout #6 T asks students to answer Activity #1 First they read the texts and then they answer the question. T elicits answers in OCFB of why the text is formal or not. "What phrases indicate that is a formal/informal conversation?" If there is time (beacause sometimes there are only strong students) apply Activities 2 and 3
MEANING T introduces activity #4 CCQ's: Are formal phrases generally shorter? (NO) Are informal phrases generally longer? (NO) T asks students to compare answers, leads OCFB and then introduces next activity. T elicits the funcitons shown in Activity #5: 1. Asking a question. 2. Thanking Someone 3. Clarifying or checking 4. Getting Someone's Attention Then asks Students to write F or I if they consider if it's Formal or Informal. FORM T writes on the WB the following phrases: 1. Where's the + [place]? 2. Go straight [for + #of blocks], then turn [left/right] + optional [at corner 'x', building 'x'] 3. Thanks a lot! T then elicits places and number of blocks (maybe also the difference between a block and a street) to grasp the basic form. PRONUNTIATION T introduces activity #6 and models the phrases so students can answer. T asks students to compare answers and then leads OCFB.
T introduces activity #7 and model the first exercise: "Student 'x' imagine that you are in Pastelería Ideal and want to go to the Memory and Tolerance Museum, please ask my for directions." Then students use the vocabulary we have learnt to ask for a place and T models the answer based on the map that T gave out. Then T asks students to answer the next exercises and change the role in every situation (B-G). Finally, T models the freer practice: Example: "You are in the corner of the streets Luis Montoya and Artículo 123 and want to go to Liverpool" this with the purpose of tailoring their practice. T will also model why does 'x' person wants to go to that place.
T has recolected errors and mistakes from students and now it's time to provide OCFB thourgh modeling, elicitation and drilling.
