Productive Task(s) (25-40 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

Page 11 D - Have the students read the text in alternating turns and answer the questions. Then have them pair up and write a story about each other using the language of the story. One of the students may need to pair up with the teacher if there is not sufficient attendance. Page 12 F - Verb "to be" There is no verb "to be" in Kurdish. Give them the example of 'How are you?' Cewani - which is literally translated 'How you?' since the verb is understood. Point out to the student that every time they use "are" it is for plural nouns/pronouns. "Am" and "is" are used for singular pronouns/nouns. Have the students pair up and ask and answer the questions. They need to choose a new country as an answer each time.
