Main Aims

Subsidiary Aims

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will start the lesson by discussing three visuals and questions from the first lesson. I will ask students' opinions and then I will show them a picture of a jet plane that had been landed in the Hudson River in 2009. In the first lesson we have discussed different life emergency conditions form the survivors club and come to know that how all of us react differently. Let us have a quick review. (Ask students) Would you listen to the flight attendant if you were in a plane? What would you do if you were hiking alone and you got completely lost? What would you do if you thought that you could hear an intruder in your home? (slide 2--3 images and questions) What about this picture? What would you have done if you had been in this situation? (slide 3--plane)

Test #1 (3-5 minutes) • To gauge students' prior knowledge of the target language

In exercise 5a, gap-fills 3&4 are out of context. I have rewritten them. Now look at exercise 1 (5a) Read the four sentences, and complete the gaps with the verbs in the right tense. 1 What would you do if you ___(be) in the mountains and you ____(get lost)? (were, got lost) 2 If l thought that somebody was in my house, I ___ (call) the police and I ______(not confront) the intruder. ('d I would call, wouldn't confront) 3.

Guided Discovery (3-5 minutes) • To check how much students know about the forms of second and third conditionals.

I will give students a 'teacher made' hand out to check how much students know about the meanings and form of the TL. I will use sentences 2 and 3. Now look at exercise 2. Just try to complete it using your previous knowledge. Instructions: 1) Complete the exercise Check: You will... (complete the exercise) 2) In groups 3) 3 minutes (Open BORs--- groups of 3---3 minutes) Take Feedback: Discuss for a minute or 2.

Teach (8-10 minutes) • To clarify areas of the target language where students had difficulty in the first test stage

Give presentation to clarify MFP of the second and third conditional sentences. CCQs; highlight and explain form. Drill at sentence level.

Test #2 (6-8 minutes) • Check students' use of the target language again and compare with the first test

Exercise 3 (Page-140 Exercise a). Lets do some practice. Look at the exercise no. 3. Complete with the correct form of the verb in brackets, using a second or third conditional.(give time to read) Instructions: 1. Gap-fills 2. In pairs Check: You will do gap-fills or true false?

Let us write our thoughts. Exercise 5: Complete the two sentences in your own words with a positive and negative clause. Work in the main room. (3-4 minutes) Peer check: Now check your answers in pairs. (2 minutes) Take Feedback: Check the form. Ask which one is second and which one is third conditional. 1. is second conditional. 2. is third conditional. One by one correct mistakes. (3 minutes)

Freer Practice Speaking (3-5 minutes) • To provide freer oral practice and use the language productively
