Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Tw start the lesson by greeting students asking "Good morning dear students,How are you today?" Ready to have some fun? We are going to talk about countable and uncountable food !" And then play YouTube countable and uncountable video on smart board TW Ask a student to volunteer for the activity which involves coming to the board and do what she'll ask them to do. . TW tell the student to stand in front of her. Start throwing water bottles to the student and tell them to catch. Meanwhile,TW tell the students to count the bottles. . After this, get back all the bottles and tell the students to open their hands. Pour a little water and ask the students to count water(they will not be able to count water coz it's uncountable ). Send the students back to their chairs. TW Write the words "bottle" and "water" on the board and ask the students to label them as countable and uncountable nouns. Timed pair share: Tw repeat the same sequence with the real objects in her food basket by dividing SS into pairs (1,2) No one SS will start and in 30 seconds they're suppose to answer which object is countable and which is not . ICQs: Are you going to work in pairs or alone ? how much time each one of you have ? are you going to speak or write ?

Pre -Teach Vocabulary /blocking words (8-10 minutes) • To provide an explanation of blocking words

Tw show SS some pictures related to blocking words (market -cook- fresh ) using smart board Tw model and drill for the correct pronunciation as mentioned in analysis sheet

Gist Task (8-10 minutes) • To get SS familiar with target language

RALLY COACH Ask students to work in pairs and skim the text P40 SB to answer the following question. They have three minutes to finish this task. Student with the odd number starts. Student 1 answers the first question and student 2 coaches Then, Student 2 answers the second question and student 1 coaches. They continue doing this until they finish the whole task. Ask some ICQs to check they understand the task. SO, Are you going to work in pairs or groups? (Pairs) How much time do you have for this activity? (3 minutes) Who starts asking questions? (The one with the odd number) Are you going to complete the sentences from the text or from your mind? ( from the text ) Give the handouts. SBP.40 EXc SW look at rhe table on p.40 then add food nouns from World Market to classify them under countable /uncountable

Clarification (6-8 minutes) • To make the students absorb the form of countable and uncountable /use of some and any

TW Write the four nouns on the board and ask students which two words have plural endings. Circle the -s of vegetables, then cover the -s with your hand and say one vegetable. Next, uncover the -s and say two vegetables. Point to tomatoes and hold your pen up to the board for students to tell you to circle the -es. Again cover the plural ending, say one tomato, then uncover it and say two tomatoes. Answer Vegetables and tomatoes have plural endings. TW Pick up two pens and say to the class: I’ve got two pens. Then add another two pens, and elicit from the class how many pens you’ve got: I’ve got four pens. Finally, add various other pens, so that students can’t see the exact number, say: I’ve got [silence] pens. and elicit/teach the word some. Look at the first sentence in the Student’s Book and complete it as a class. Individually, students complete the other sentences. Check answers as a class. Answers 1 some 2 any 3 an 4 any
