Main Aims

  • To provide review and practice of imperatives in the context of body moving

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide fluency speaking practice in giving instructions in the context of body moving

Procedure

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

Set a context by asking Ss whether they recall some of the instructions from the Simon says game. (this is for preparing them for the topic) Try to elicit ideas about the topic of the lesson by playing "hangman". Ask Ss the meaning of the imperative. Let them share ideas in pairs on why/when do we use imperatives. (Give one example "giving instructions") Take w/c feedback.

Exposure (8-8 minutes) • To make them focus on the use of imperatives in the text and test Ss knowledge about imperatives

Ask Ss do ex.1 on p.g 95, individually. Give instructions. Ask ICQs. (What are you going to do? Will you circle? (No) What will you do? (Underline) What will you look for- imperatives or vocabulary? (Imperatives). Where will you look for them? (in the article) Will you read individually or with your partner? (individually) After reading, ask them compare their answers with their parner. Monitor them during the activity. Check as a class. Write the instructions (in imperatives) elicited, on the board.

Clarification (5-5 minutes) • To clarify the meaning form and pronunciation of the TL

Try to elicit the meaning and the form of imperatives, elicited during the activity. CC for meaning and form: Which of them are positives? (Yes) Which of them negatives? (Yes) Do we use subject pronoun in imperatives? (No)

Controlled practice (8-9 minutes) • To make Ss use imperatives through visuals

Start for the ex.2, on p.g 95. Put students into two groups. Stick pictures (signs) on the whiteboard randomly. Place the papers with the names of each picture on the T's desk. Give instructions by demonstrating that taking turns one person from each group will come to the board. Take one piece of paper and mime it to his/her group. The group will check the board and point the correct picture on the board. When found, stick it on the board near the picture. Ask ICQs. Monitor during the exercise. In feedback, ask a student where we can find/see these signs.

Production (7-7 minutes) • To provide fluancy and accuracy of the functional language through speaking practice

Ask students to look at the picture in speaking ex.1 and listen to the instructions on the recording for the exercise. Tell students to point to each part of the body in the picture as they hear it spoken on the recording. Let students listen again, follow the instructions and do the stretches in class.

Communication activity (7-7 minutes) • To make Ss produce and use the functional language

Put Ss into A and B pairs. Student A will look at page 133, and Student B will look at the page 135. Tell students to sit face to face and take it in turns to instruct each other in how to do the exercise. Give Ss time limit (3 minutes) to think about and write instructions. Monitor and help them with ideas and vocabulary, when needed.

Semi-controlled practice (extra task) (8-8 minutes) • To make Ss produce the functional language via role play

Change pairs (still keep them in the position facing each other). Give them a piece of paper, having roles on. Student A will have a situation and Student B will give some advice to St. A. And vica versa. e.g St A says: I am sitting on this chair all the time. That is why I have a backache. St B advices: Go and have some rest / Don't sit for a long time / Take microbreaks Monitor during the activity Take w/c feedback in the end.
