Procedure

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

T will show Ss pictures of food. T asks Ss if they can count the food to elicit countable and uncountable nouns. Can you count shrimp? Can you count milk? Can you count apples? What do we call nouns that we can count? Countable nouns. What do we call noun that we can't count? Uncountable nouns. T writes countable nouns and uncountable nouns on the white board. T gives the first handout. T explains it to them and demonstrates it to Ss. Ss will come to the board to write an example in one of the columns to provide feedback

Language focus (15-20 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

once the two columns are form T will point out certain rules in the use of countable and uncountable. Uncountable nouns do not have plurals, We use some for positive and any for negative. with countable nouns we can use a or an or numbers to count what we have. Liquids and things that are very small are uncountable e.g. milk and sugar We can use containers to count uncountable nouns Once countable and uncountable nouns are clear. T will ask Ss how can we say that something exist? We use there is or there are e.g there is an apple there are 3 pizzas. T will explain that we can use some if there is something and any if there isnt something e.g. there is some milk there arent any apples

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

To practice the use of there is and there are Ss will solve the handout 2. T will demo how to solve the exercises. T will conduct OCFB

Free Practice (10-15 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Ss will be split in teams, They will draw dishes, E.g a cake or a pizza and they will tell each other what things there are or there arent in their dishes and weather that is countable or uncountable. T will observe and provide feedback
