Copy of Noisy Neighbours
A1 level

Description

This lesson starts with showing the picture of a building with different flats and neighbors. Using this picture, I try to set the context of the lesson which is "Noisy Neighbours". I'll elicit some useful voc., by CCQs and miming. Ss will have a task to talk with their partners about noisy neighbours. Then I'll start to clarify the language, present continuous tense, including a listening task. After that I'm going to compare present continuous tense with simple present tense through some marker sentences. the next stage would be controlled practices. The first one is a group work putting the words in order. second is a PW making sentences for different people doing different things in a picture. At the end there will be a freer practice and it's PW. Ss A and B have almost similar pictures with some differences. they must find them and write a sentence for each difference.
