Main Aims

  • Reading (jigsaw reading)

Subsidiary Aims

  • to review present simple yes/no questions and to give sts controlled reading practice

Procedure

Lead-in (5 minutes) • to set the context of the reading material and get students interested in the topic

T will put pictures of men and women of different professions at work up on the board. T will elicit sts responses to the question "What's his/her job?" for each person in each picture ("He's/She's a...") T will then put a picture of a dog up on the board underneath one picture of a person working. T will ask the students, "Does he/she have a dog?" ("Yes, he/she does.") T will put a picture of the same dog working underneath the picture of the dog that's underneath the picture of the person and ask "What's his/her job?" (depending on what students decide, it can be he/she). T then will put pictures of of different dogs underneath the rest of the pictures of people and write the personal pronoun 'he' or 'she' above it. T will ask sts "What's his/her job?" and students will try to guess. T will then put the rest of the pictures up.

Pre-Reading (2 minutes) • to prepare students for the text

T will introduce vocabulary terms: 'Dog Show', 'airport', 'hotel', and review the concept of the terms 'difficult' and 'easy' through CCQs (see LA).

While-reading (5 minutes) • for students to practice their receptive skills through scanning reading.

T separates class into 2 groups and tells 1 group that they are "Bernie" and the other that they are "Milo" (the names of the dogs in the story). T gives instructions that students are to read their assigned passage (Group Bernie reading only the Bernie passage and vice versa), and then read and answer the questions below the story silently by themselves. T gives the time limit: 5 minutes for both reading and exercise. T hands out reading assignment. Sts do PW for FB with someone else within their character group.

Speaking (5 minutes) • sts engage in controlled speaking practice in the context of the story they just read

T asks one S from each character group to come to the front of the class and elicits them to demonstrate the speaking activity as instruction for the rest of the class: T asks S1 to "Please ask (student name) question 1." Then T elicits S2 to answer the question using their answers written/checked before: "Read your answer, please." T elicits S1 again to ask the second question, and S2 to answer. T tells the sts "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, YOU (S1) will ask your partner (S2) the questions. THEN, after you're finished, YOU (S2) will ask YOUR partner (S1) all (miming) of the questions. And you (S1) will answer them." T assigns 1 S from each group to another and announces the 5 minute time limit. When finished, T will perform WCFB and ask sts from one group questions about their partner's dog character.

Grammar (7 minutes) • get sts to practice present simple yes/no Q's within the context

T writes the following examples on the WB: "Isaac and Melis / teachers?" (Are Isaac and Melis teachers? No, they're not.) "Serhan / mp3 player?" (Does Serhan have an mp3 player?/Yes, he does.) "Bernie / show dog?" (Is Bernie a show dog?/ Yes, he is.) "Milo and Simon / work in a factory?" (Do Milo and Simon work in a factory?/ No, they don't). T elicits the answers to these Q's from sts. Then T presents HO2 and instructs the class to work individually writing the Q's for 5 min. Then, WBFB.

Speaking pt.2 (5 minutes) • to get students to reflect on their understanding of the text they just read through producing spoken questions and answers about it.

T calls on 2 students from opposite character groups that worked together before (not the same as used for the first demo instruction for exercise one), and has them demo asking and answering the questions. T assigns sts to get together with the same partner from the opposite character group they worked in pw before. Gives the sts 5 min. WCFB.
