Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Elicit information about Ss houses. Do you have any flowers in your house? Do you have any fruit in your kitchen? Do you have any pictures in your living room? Do you have any curtains in your kitchen?

Highlighting (4-6 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

After Ss have given the answers about their houses, tell them about my house and write these 4 sentences on WB in 2 columns : 1. There is a flower in my kitchen. There are some pictures in my living room. 2. There aren't any curtains in my kitchen. Do you have any fruit in your kitchen? Highlight the words a/an, some/any and elicit when we use them (+, -, ?) and why we use them (singular, plural). Drill the sentences chorally and individually if needed. Add substition drill.

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

Feedback and Error Correction • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

Put some of the errors on WB and elicit correction and reformulation. I heard you say .... What's another word for ...? What's another way to express this?
