Main Aims

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide target language input for form clarification and for semi-controlled speaking

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T will indicate the Q "What do you have?" T writes: I have a surprise. T points to Q, & S1 says, "I have a ____" T writes: Linda has a surprise and _____ has a house. T points to Q, & S2 says Linda has a surprise and ______ has a house and _____ has a ____.

Exposure (6-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Ss will look at pic of McNab family (HW p. 27). P have 1 min. to think, then tell us s.t. about the family. T will elicite family members. T will instruct Ss they'll have 1 min to read the text that will appear in a moment to confirm predictions. Ss will read. Next, T will remove text and ask: How many times did you see the word have? has? Ss guess. T instructs Ss to read again for 1 min. AB pairs, A read to B. Switch. Come up and underline have and has.

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

T asks what notice in the underlined forms. Indicate model sentences. T instructs Ss to complete Ex. 2 and 3, alone 1 min, then aloud with partner. Quick check.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

T will write instructions on board: 1. Write 5 sentences about yourself. 2. Read them to your partner. 3. Write your partner's 5 sentences use he or she has. 4. Read your 10 sentences to your partner. 5. Write 1 new sentence - We both have ____, ____, and _______. T will point at Qs to indicate next task (and try to reduce TTT!) T will AB Ss. Ss will circulate with partner while the music plays. When it stops, A tells about B. Music on, keep moving. Music stops, B tells about A, and so on. T monitors. T asks each pair to write 2 sentences they like on the board. T and Ss check grammar.

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

Ss will be divided into three groups - AB & C. Each will read one of the texts on WB p. 25. T will ask Ss to face a group member. T will model how to read the text in your head, and stop when when told. Ss will read for 1 minute, stop, flip paper, and tell group s.t. about the person. Ss read again from top for 1 min, stop, and tell what the person has. Ss read again and try to remember as much as possible. Ss practice telling group members. T will regroup ABC, ABC, ABC. As have 1 min. to tell, Bs 1 min, and Cs 1 min. (maybe 2 X) Ss back to original group. T will check retention by asked As Qs from text B & C, Bs Qs from text A and C, etc.

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

Ss will look at chart containing the verb have some adj and nouns. Ss will write 1 sentence each on a slip from the chart. Ss will then write a question (any question) on a slip. Ss will write a place on a card, and an expression, e.g. oh, I'm sorry; can I help you?, etc. (from yesterday). Cards will be mixed up and redistributed, one of each category to each group. T will make groups of 3 or 4 and explain the activity - S groups have 4 min. to prepare a skit - they can say anything but it MUST include the four elements on their slips and cards.
