T asks Ss to brainstorm the family member words they know. T puts the Ss in pairs, and tells them to use dictionaries or internet to brainstorm the words in two minutes. when they finish, T writes down their answers on the white board, encouraging them to add more words. using the smart board, focus the learners on the picture of the family. elicit who are the grandparents, brothers, cousins,..etc. tell Ss that they have 3 minutes to read the article and fill in the gaps with the missing family words. monitor to make sure that they are on track. when they finish, ask them to check in pairs, then check as a whole class.

Highlighting (5-10 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

focus Ss on the picture elicit what they can see? what/s the relationship between the people in the picture? what do they think is happening. put Ss in pairs ask them to write a small conversation for the picture. give them 5 minutes to do so. nominate some learners to act out their conversations. on the board write 'can you buy me a new phone?' ' can I take your car?' ask Ss who do they think I make these requests to in my family 'father and brother' Ss then take time to do the same; write requests they make to their family members with out telling who are these family member.
