T will show images from the internet on PP. T will Elicit from the ss, the 9 prepositions we use when giving directions. T will do so by using images on the pp as a guide. After T elicits the correct word from the ss, T then places a visual aid to reinforce the image; therefore, ss can look at the word and connect its meaning with the image. CCQ's- DO we need to use specific words when giving directions? Do these words help people find a specific place? Are these words helpful? Do we need to use names of places when giving directions? T drills each preposition and adds words such as right and left which are essential when giving directions. SS can refer back to board to write words.
