Task 3 Gap-fill Forming the verb to be (5 minutes)
Display the Gap-fill slide. Put the learners into pairs so that they are working with

them to write the contractions.
Lesson
plan
Cut up the cards and place them face down in the centre of the group.
Learners take turns to turn over a card and use the prompt to make a sentence. They
read the sentences and describe how the person feels, eg. It is sunny. You are in the
park. Answer: I am happy. (More than one answer is sometimes possible. The
important thing is accuracy.) The winner is the one who has the most cards at the end.
Display the screen with the self-evaluation survey and ask learners to use this to
record their progress in the class in their learning records.
Extension
If learners have access to a computer, ask them to create their own word clouds using
http://wordle.net/. Print them out and display them in the classroom.
Homework
For speaking practice at home, learners can use http://vocaroo.com/ to record
themselves saying the words and sentences.
To practise the words at home, ask the learners to set their partners a hangman
challenge using the following link:
