The 1^st lesson

SS get acquainted with learning objectives and success criteria

Warming up

• SS listen to two people describing the pictures and tick the phrases from the list which were used by the speakers. Then, SS draw pictures and compare their pictures with the partner and real pictures.

• Extra activity: SS are shown the other 4 pictures and in pairs SS try to describe them to each other using the expressions from the list.

Practice in use of prepositions of place

Activity: “Draw a picture”

SS are divided into two teams. T dictates the position of objects of different shape in a big square and SS draw individually. Then, SS compare their pictures in groups and choose the best one as they think. One representative from each group goes to the board and draws his picture. T shows the original picture. The team which is more accurate with the drawing wins the game.

Description: There are two clouds in the top right-hand corner. Five birds are flying in the top left-hand corner. There are tree white-capped mountains at the top in the distance. In the middle of the picture there is a lake with a little duck in it. There is a tree in the bottom right-hand corner. In the bottom left-hand corner there is some grass. There is some more grass in the foreground in the bottom of the picture.

• Open class discussion: What difficulties did SS face while doing the task? (prepositions of place)

• SS are shown the poster with the prepositions of place (tips) to self-learn. SS in pairs practice to use the prepositions: one S names the place on the sheet of paper, another S shows the position.

• SS watch a video about the stages of describing a picture. SS should write down all the stages.
