Procedure (34-49 minutes)

Lead In (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and motivate the students to accomplish the upcoming practices of language

- The T greets the students and shows the picture of a scientist. - The T tells the purpose of the lesson. "Hello kids. I have a friend and he makes surveys. He is a scientist. He loves turkish students and he has a survey for you. He wishes to know what you have in your backpack."

Exposure Stage (10-12 minutes) • To make the ss understand the meaning of the target vocabulary with visual support while having fun

- The T divides the students into two groups and models the activity with one student. - The T starts the pelmanism game and puts letters horizontally and numbers vertically. - when all the pictures and the words are matched they are stuck on the other side of the board so that everyone can see it.

Controlled Practise (7-10 minutes) • To give the ss the chance to practise the vocabulary and the chunk in a controlled way

- The T reminds the students about the survey and tells that they will practise for the survey with the teacher. - The T shows the survey and models it with a student after giving the instruction. "Ask me (Have you got a key in your bag?) I have got a key in my bag yes!" Then put a tick in this box." she chooses a student to do another round. - The t lets the students ask questions and fill in the survey.

Semi-Controlled Practise (7-10 minutes) • To give the ss the chance to practise the vocabulary and the chunk in a half controlled way

- The T pairs up everyone and shows the "HANDOUT 2". - The T tells them to ask the questions to their pairs and put tick or cross to the survey. - When the time is up they switch the papers.

Production Stage (7-12 minutes) • To let the students make their own sentences about the topic with the target vocabulary and the chunk that they were exposed to

- The T gives the instructions one by one: 1. Write your name on the paper. 2. Write 4 sentences about your survey. (The T gives an example on the board.) - If the ss have enough time, they can help the scientist count how many students have keys, umbrella, etc...
