Highlighting (5-7 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Ss will read sentences in Ex:4 (p.29) and think about their meanings, I will ask questions such as "Do the sentences refer to the present or the future?", "Is there a definite time and place for the plans?" "What tenses do the sentences use?".

Clarification (5-6 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

I will clarify that Present Cont and "be going to" are used to make plans about the future. I will elicit their structures from the Ss and highlight them on the board.
