Procedure

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

- put the ss in groups of four. - write the word " BREAKFAST" on the board. - give the ss 2 min to find as many words as possible for things they eat and drink for breakfast. - ask the ss to tell the other groups about the things they found and what is shared.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

- show ss a datebook and try to elicit the word "diary" and relate the word to "food diary". - focus on the pic of ex.1 - ask ss what they think Laura writes in her food diary and why ( to lose weight or to control her weight. - give ss a minute to write the missing letters. tell them there is only one letter missing from each word. - get ss to check their answers by answering the question What did Laura have to eat and drink yesterday? 1- she had an apple 2- she had a banana - focus on the two-column headings and explain the difference, i.e. that countable words are used in the singular or plural and that they are things you can count (e.g. a banana, two apples). We think of them as individual units. Uncountable words are not normally used in the plural and are not thought of as individual units (e.g. rice, sugar, etc.).

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

- focus on the pictures of the 3 baskets Ex.2(c). - demo an example with the ss. -give them 2 minutes to finish and check the answers. - focus on the sentences and the words in bold. - give the ss 2 min to complete the rules. - elicit the rules and write on the board.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

- give the ss ex 7A. - give them instructions to write a food/ drink word preceded by a, an, some, or any. - demo an example with the ss. - check the answers together and then display the key answers. - give ss instructions to complete the dialogue with a, an, some, and any. - demo an example with them. - check the answers together and then display the key answers.
