| Materials | Blackboard and chalk, Interchange, computer, photocopies (pages- 92, 93, 94, T-148, T-173, TR 30 & 46), scan (pages: 92, 93, 94) Powerpoint. |
| Procedure | 1.) WARM UP/Review (10 min) Objective: T will get Ss talking by having an informal conversation. a.) Brief icebreakers (T asks: Hello! How was your weekend? What did you do?) b.) Possibly do a quick review for Millen. Rayan seemed to get through all the material last week quickly and efficiently, so I don’t want to bore him. c.) T will have an activity prepared from Interchange website in order to get Ss thinking about what we talked about last week. Evaluation: T will gauge Ss motivation for the day by the way they begin the class. T will also gauge Ss understanding of the weeks previous lesson based on how well they do with the computer activity. 2.) Vocabulary: PPP (15 min) Objective: T will assess Ss ability to understand new vocabulary based on their participation in class and the answers that they give to questions asked. Transition: Ok, now let’s get started with class. Last week we talked about types of food and using neither or either and too or so. a.) Presentation of geography vocabulary (15 min) b.) T will pull up either PPT or a website with a world map. c.) T says, “So, today we are going to learn about world geography. Do we know what geography means? Geography is when you study, read or write about the Earth.” d.) “So, let’s look at this picture (pg 92 on PPT). Before we start, read over this list and let me know if there are there are any words that you don’t know. Now we are going to label or match each word with the correct part of the picture. Who knows where letter B goes?” e.) Walk around and make sure everyone is on task. f.) “Ok, now let’s go over the answers!” g.) Practice: Pull up a slide on PPT with a picture for each word on page 92. Ask Ss to name what each picture is. h.) Put these four different categories on different pieces of paper: Land-related words, water-related words, climate-related words and other. i.) “Let’s look at the list of the vocabulary words that we have on this list and decide what category they will go under. Let’s also try to think of words that are not on this list but can fit under these lists. Like, river or grass or flowers or dirt.” j.) Ss will physically places cut up words in to each category. k.) Production: For more practice, play the game Odd Man Out. This is where the T will cluster 4 words together and the Ss will choose which word does not belong (Q: river, lake, volcano, ocean. A: volcano). Evaluation: T will gauge Ss understanding of geography vocabulary by how well they do during the practice and production. 3.) Conversation: geography (15 min) Objective: Ss will practice listening to a conversation about geography and then practice using role play. Ss will also see comparisons with adjectives in context. Transition: Now we are going to listen to a conversation. First just listen, then we will practice in pairs. a.) Pre-Listening: “The girl is Wendy and the boy is Mike. Mike is asking Wendy questions about geography. Wendy got some of the questions wrong on the quiz so she is trying to figure out the right answers.” b.) I will show pictures comparing the two items that Wendy is talking about on the PPT so they can actually see what she is talking about. c.) While-Listening: “Now, let’s just listen to the conversation.” Play CD 2, Track 22. Pass out script. d.) Post-Listening: “OK, so what answers do you think Wendy got right? Do you think she got any of them right?” e.) Pre-Listening: “Let’s listen once more and see if we can find which questions Wendy answered correctly.” f.) While-Listening: Play the rest of CD 2, Track 22. g.) Post-Listening: “OK, let’s go over the right answers.” h.) Time permitting: Ss will do a role-play of this conversation. Evaluation: T will gauge Ss comprehension of geography vocabulary by their ability to answer questions during the pre-listening and post-listening activities. ***BREAK 5-10 MIN*** 4.) Grammar: PPP (35 min) Objective: Ss will be able to ask and answer questions using comparisons with adjectives. Transition: Now we are going to learn about something new! a.)Presentation: “Let’s look at the conversation we just listened to. Do you see how there is a sentence that says ‘Which country is larger, Canada or China’? This sentence is talking about two countries, right? Which two countries are they talking about? Right! Canada and China.” b.) “Now I want you to write down two sentences comparing two different things in your country. Do you know what compare means? It means to talk about two things and look at how they are the same and how they are different.” For example, you could say: The United States is larger than Haiti. c.) Show a chart on powerpoint that shows the difference between 1. LARGE – 2. LARGER – 3+ LARGEST. d.) Large is used when we are just talking about one thing, like one country, one river or one city. The Atlantic Ocean is large. e.) Larger is used with the word than and is used when we compare two things. California is larger than Ohio. f.) Largest is used when we compare three or more things. California is the largest state in the United States. g.) So, when we are comparing anything at all, if it is two things we add “-er” on the end of the word. If it is three or more things we add “-est” on the end. h.) When there are two consonants in a row we just add on ER or EST. i.) Practice: Give Ss a list of adjectives and ask them to write the superlative and comparative. Ex: Small > Smaller > Smallest. j.) “OK, so now we are going to practice. (Combine pg 93 & TR-30) So what do you think the first answer is? Right, great job! We would say ‘smaller’. OK so finish the rest of these and let me know if you need any help.” k.) Production: Play tic-tac-toe game (T-148) to further practice with these words. Evaluation: T will gauge Ss understanding of how to use comparative and superlative adjectives by their ability to complete the activity. 5.) Speaking (10 min) Objective: Ss will give visitors recommendations using comparisons with adjectives. Transition: Ok, now we are going to do a speaking activity. a.) “We are going to read the sentences under these pictures and give these people recommendations about what to do in YOUR home country. A recommendation is kind of like advice. Remember when we talked about giving advice? OK, so let’s move on to the activity. Does everyone understand what we are going to be looking for?” b.) Pull up the 3 pictures on page 94. c.) “Can someone read the sentences under the first picture?” d.) “Where do you think Molly should go? What should she do?” e.) Give Ss examples of what they can say so they understand how the activity should be done. Evaluation: T will gauge Ss comprehension of geography vocabulary and giving recommendations based on their involvement in the speaking activity. 6.) Listening (10 min) Objective: Ss will develop skills in listening for details. Transition: Now we are going to do a speaking activity. a.) Pre-Listening: “We are going to hear three people who are on a TV game show.” b.) Write 6 focus questions on the board. c.) “Now let’s listen and fill in the blank for these questions.” d.) While-Listening: Play CD 3, Track 25. e.) Post-Listening: “Now let’s go over the answers.” f.) Pre-Listening: “Ok, let’s listen one more time. This time we will listen and check the correct answers for Activity 6.” g.) While Listening: Play CD 3, Track 25. h.) Post-Listening: “Now let’s go over the right answers.” Evaluation: T will gauge Ss comprehension of geography vocabulary and ability to listen for details based on the answers they find for the focus questions. HOMEWORK: Hand out page T-173 and have Ss pick the right sentence out of the two worksheets. Write C if the sentence is correct and NC if the sentence is not correct. Also, make copies of TR-46 so Ss can have the vocabulary log. |
| Assessment | Ts will assess Ss’ retention of the material from last week by continuing the use what we have discussed in previous weeks. T will introduce new material and will asses Ss understanding of new vocabulary and a new grammar point. |
