Objective Discussion

Today, we will learn how to use Simple Present Tense correctly in affirmative and negative statements. We will also learn time expressions used in Simple Present and spelling rules for adding –s, -es and –ies to form correct sentences. Also, we will learn to use Adverbs of Frequency with Simple Present Tense.

After the warm up, the teacher points out the differences in sentences by comparing first person and second person singular. The students try to come up with the form and rules of Simple Present affirmative and negative sentences. Teacher writes the rules and examples on the board.

Comprehension Check and Practice: Students Complete the sentences in exercise 2.3 on P. 92. They can also change/adapt these sentences. They will be paired off and the teacher will give each student an index card. They will write sentences about themselves- daily routines, facts, habits- using the verbs from the exercise. After they complete the sentences, they exchange their cards with their partners. Check each other’s sentences and if there are mistakes they correct them. Then they change partners and tell/report their new partners about their previous partners, changing the 1^st person singular into 3^rd person singular. After they complete, the teacher calls on some students for some examples For extra practice, Ss talk about the schedule on P. 94 focusing on the time expressions. (9:20-9:35)

Guided Practice: Ss do exercise 3.1 on page 97. They unscramble the sentences. When they complete, they check their answers with their partners. (9:50-10:00)

Independent Practice: (Handout 1) Teacher distributes a information gap handout (Find someone who) Since they haven’t learned to form questions, they copy the question in the worksheet. This will enable students to become familiar with Yes/No questions forms which will be covered next class. 

They will have 10 minutes. In ten minutes whoever talks the most students will be the winner.

Then they report a couple of examples to share with class. (10:00-10:10)
