I will set the context with a visual (ex. First, will show a photo of a couple sitting in a messy room to describe the word clutter will tell the class that “there is a lot of unnecessary clutter in this room” & then will use the multi-word verb clean up and suggest the ppl in the photo to clear up all that clutter. Second, will act the multi-word verb throw away by simply throwing away some used papers to waste bin& then will just show the papers in the waste bin to elicit the word rubbish. Third, will use the word stuff in couple sentences with the multi-word verb put away, for the ss to guess the meaning of it) The words that I am acting will be written on the left side of the white board, and whenever a student guesses the right word, the word will be moved from left to right side of the board.

The ss will read the short intro of the article "Declutter Your Life" and will try to match the words clutter, rubbish, stuff with the definitions in ex 1. a, individually. Ask ss whether they know the meaning of declutter or not. Explain that declutter is creative play on the word clutter, making it negative. take FB deal with any questions about the vocab before the gist reading of the text.

ask ss to do gist reading of the entire text simply to answer the question in ex.1/b "What could be the benefits of decluttering?" Set ss in pair to exchange/discuss ideas for the answer ask one student from each pair to share his/her answer with class. elicit a couple/ pick the ones that use the key words or the multi-word verbs/ write one or two to the wb take fb

ask ss to do an intensive reading of the text and answer the question below; Can cleaning reduce stress? Do you need a clutter consultant? Is it right to think buying new things will make life better? Is it a good idea to let other people have the things you don't need? ask ss to discuss their ideas in pairs first, then with whole class to check whether the ss understand the text or not. take fb

ask ss questions with multi-word verbs (check whether they notice them,or not): How often do you tidy up your room? Do you hoard/ collect things and never throw them away? How often do you clean up your kitchen? Do you put away your books when you get home? Do you get rid of your old stuff ever year? Is it good to give away stuff that you don't use anymore? elicit couple of answers and add multi-words in them if there is none, and if there is some stress on the multi-word verbs & write them on the WB. Prep for ex.4: 4 of the multi-words are separable. For example the object pronoun can go between the word and particle ex. tidy IT up, clean IT up etc..BUT one is inseparable; get rid of When the object is stated (not a pronoun), it follows the multi-word verb e.g. clean up the kitchen .

ask ss to complete the sentences with the words in the box in ex.4 individually. check answers with the entire class set ss in pairs and ask them to write some sentences about tidying and cleaning with today's vocab. Monitor and help where needed. Make notes of any common errors/ elicit a couple and write them on the board. ask ss to correct the errors while correcting the errors repeat the rules that you have mentioned today on multi-word verbs
