Introduce the students to the class subject. Have students check the first slide. Elicit one question with students. Recap the instructions: Will you write the answers? Do you translate?

Exposure (10-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

Have students check slide 3. Elicit an example. Ask students to note their peers' ideas. Recap instructions and have them interact in pairs 3 times. Once time is over, recap and check the structure of be going to.

Useful Language (10-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

Go over the examples in the first chart in the Grammar Reference with the class. Point out the notes at the bottom and help students understand that we use be going to to talk about plans and predictions. Give an example for yourself. For example, I’m going to visit my family next month. Then call on individual students to say a plan they have. Write their plans on the board, and have the class help you correct them, if necessary, focusing on the use of be going to. Have students complete the exercises in the Grammar Reference in pairs.
