Main Aims

  • To introduce and practice multi-word verbs in the context of clothes, computers, and love and friendship

Subsidiary Aims

  • To recognize and practice the form, meaning, and use of multiword verbs with with a focus on particle meaning and verb-object patterns

Procedure

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

To begin my lesson I will show the students 3 slides, each with sentences I have created to demonstrate the use of multiword verbs, and ask them what they think the three topics we will be discussing today could be based on these sentences and the pictures shown in my Google Slide Presentation. I will note their predictions on the slides for future reference. (1. I picked up a shirt at the mall, but when I tried it on it didn’t fit (clothes) 2. After I logged in to my account my battery died and my laptop turned off (computers) 3. He asked me out to dinner but I turned him down. (love and friendship).

Exposure (5-6 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

For this stage, I will direct the students to the chat, where I will provide a link to the slides presentation. The students will each have a slide where they can read the three short texts provided and answer with the corresponding topic. They will complete the task individually, then we will go over the answers in OCFB. 1.____________ I met my ex-boyfriend when he chatted me up in a bar. We got on really well. We were together for two years and we were planning to settle down. Then I got bored and went off him! (love and friendship) 2. __________ It's a bit confusing. You have to scroll up and then click on the arrow icon. If you want, you can log off before you shut down. (computers) 3.___________ I love dressing up so when I tried on that purple suit, I thought it was perfect for my first day at work. I was so embarrassed when I arrived and the receptionist told me to take off my tie because everyone dresses down at the company! (clothes) We will continue on to the next slide set where I will direct students match the multiword verbs in the word bank with the correct definitions in order to clarify meaning of these verbs. After the students answer individually, we will go over the correct answers as a class. ON: - Put the computer mouse on a specific place and press (click on) - Wear clothes to see if you want to buy them (tried on) OFF: - Remove (clothes) (take off) - Exit from a website (log off) UP: - Talk to someone that you like so that they will like you (chatted up) - Wear especially smart or colorful clothes, e.g. for a party (dressing up) DOWN: - Choose to live a calm life, e.g. at home with a partner (settle down) - Switch off the computer (shut down)

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I will begin by asking students to underline or highlight the preposition that comes after the verbs in the texts then ask what those words are. After the students complete this task, I will ask concept checking questions such as: - If you chat someone up, are you interested in the person, or just making conversation? - Is settling down usually for a short time or a long time? - Do you click on something on the computer or on paper? - After you log off, are you still in your account? - If you shut down your computer, do you need to turn it on again to use it? - If you dress up, are you wearing normal clothes or special clothes? - Are you checking for the price or the fit when you try on clothes? - Do you take off clothes before or after you put them on? After, I will direct them to the chat where I will link a Figjam activity. I will direct the students to place the multiword verb in the proper category and consult with each other before having OCFB. (Computers: Scroll up, click on, log off, shut down) (Clothes: Dressing up, tried on, take off, dresses down) (Love and friendship: Chatted me up, got on, settle down, went off)

Clarification (12-15 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

I will use exercise 10a to begin the clarification portion of my lesson. I'll begin by asking students to read the dictionary definitions carefully and we will answer them as a class. (1.Which verb needs an object? Try on 2. Which verb does not need an object? Shut down 3. Which verb can be followed by another preposition? Get on). We will answer the question by filling out the chart on the next slide. I will elicit answers by asking CCQ's like "Can i say try on with nothing after?" (no), "What word/preposition comes after get on?" (with), "Do you need an object after shut down?"(can be said with or without). I will leave the slide of the chart we have just filled out together visible to students to help with the next task, a google forms activity distributed in the chat. Students will fill out the form individually then speak to their classmates and we will go over the answers as a class.

Controlled Practice (4-5 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

For this section of the lesson, I have prepared a fill in the blank activity on google slides where students will be asked to complete the sentences using on, off, up, or down. I will let the students answer individually on their corresponding slide before going over the questions one by one and eliciting answers from the students. 1. I couldn't believe it when my brother's friend tried to chat me _______. (up) 2. You just need to click ________ the icon to open the file. (on) 3. When you've finished on the computer, can you log _______? (off) 4. I want to settle _________ and have children one day. (down) 5. I used to drink a lot of coffee, but recently I've gone ________ it. (off) 6. If you scroll ________ you'll find a link right at the bottom of the page. (down)

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

For the freer practice, I will assign each student their slide with a word bank of the multiword verbs we have been examining this lesson. I will ask the students to take a moment to create their own sentences using these verbs (3-4). I will let the students discuss their answers before opening the conversation back up to the class and providing feedback. I will also ask students what category each of their peer' sentences belong to. Following this activity, I will be providing delayed error correction.
