General description of class (students’ aims, interests, drawbacks):
1
The students have been studying English for 5 years, but show various degrees of proficiency,
due to their different backgrounds (coming from different secondary schools). Some are shy
about speaking up in front of their new classmates.
Assumptions:
- The students are familiar with most of the lexis involved
- They have enough prior practice in skimming and scanning
INTRODUCTION:
- T. asks several questions about weather and Ss’ mood.
Chatting in English at the beginning of the lesson, T. creates an ‘English language’
atmosphere, establishing contact between her and Ss, and helps Ss to feel relax. Ss elicit the
answers reading their homework. T. checks the answer with the whole class. (2’)
- T. writes five expressions related to fashion
(8’)
ACTIVITY 1: Reading and writing
Procedure: the teacher gives the students sheets of paper containing words related to
clothes (e.g. cuff, buttons, hat, collar etc). The students will take turns in reading the
information (56) and trying to remember the new vocabulary. The teacher will give necessary
explanations and then the students will solve in pairs exercises 56.2 and 56.3. The answers
will be checked orally on the spot.
(15’)
The students will read the following page (47) which contains some more information
on the same topic. The students will then solve individually exercises 47.1 and 47.4 which
will then be checked orally.
(25’)
ACTIVITY 2: Writing
Procedure: The students will be divided into seven groups of four students each. Using
the new vocabulary, each group will have to draw the way someone dresses on different
occasions. They will have to choose a note which was previously written by the teacher to see
which is the occasion they have to think about. They will then draw a person and the clothes
he would wear on the occasion chosen. Near the person they will write the description of what
they drew.
(38’)
ACTIVITY 3: Speaking
Procedure: The drawings will be displayed in front of the classroom and each group
will take a tour and grade each drawing. When grading the students will pay greater attention
to the vocabulary used. The best drawing and the most accurate description will bring each
member of the team a good grade.
(10’)
HOMEWORK:
Describe the way you would get dressed if you went to a party/to the market/to a
theatre play.
