They may say dancing. I'll go I hate dancing and will go one with this for up to 5 min. or assuming they knwo the days of the week i start by saying I love today because today is the

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

students will listen to the listening two times to fill out the gaps on parts a & b and maybe a third time for them to check. I won't be asking students the questions in the listening. they will check their answers with the key on WB.

Useful Language (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

via HO with the spelling instructions written on them, the grammar and spelling will be clarified.

Productive Task(s) (18-20 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

Feedback and Error Correction (8-10 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

I will move around the class take note of ss' possible mistakes and when the other task is over I will right the mistakes on the WB. For the correction I try to engage ss to correct the mistakes (if they can).
