Procedure

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

I will introduce the concept of a 'language sheriff'. The language sheriff will be visually identified be by a sheriff's star labled with the Union Jack and be responsible to ensure that they only speak English in group work.

Pre-teach/refresh vocabulary (3-5 minutes) • To provide key vocabulary for the following grammar exercises through realia.

I will present my current(simulated) office equipment purchase such as highlighters, crayons, glue sticks, etc., each of which will be available in a larger amount. I will elict as many key vocabulary as possible to reduce teacher talking time and check their previous knowledge.

Exposure (2-3 minutes) • To provide a model of the grammar portion expected in coming task through demonstration.

I will present model sentences myself, followed by drilling on pronunciation if necessary. I will also provide written examples on the whiteboard for further reference.

Controlled Practice (4-6 minutes) • To provide controlled speaking and writing practice to memorize grammar.

The students will get time to produce sentences for themselves(some and any in descriptive sentences), which will be supervised by a language sheriff in each group before checking answers in class. The students will also be asked to note down these sentences for further reference.

Productive follow-up (8-12 minutes) • To provide freer speaking practice in a school shop environment

I will set up a school shop with typical office equipment material. One student will be the salesperson(alternating), other students will get the task to buy items at that shop which might be available or not available from time to time. This stage will include some flexitime and challenges for more advanced students who could set up their own shop and come up with ideas which items are available in their shop.
