Interaction
(T-S)
The teacher greets the
class, and asks the students the
plans they have for today, tonight,
this weekend, etc. The teacher can
also talk about his own plans, as to
set the mood for the lesson and the
topic.
(T-S)
The teacher presents the
topic of the lesson (First Conditional)
through a PowerPoint
presentation, and handing out a
factsheet, as a complementary aid for
the class. He describes the situations
in which the grammatical structure
can be used. He exemplifies and
contextualizes a set of sentences,
and states the rules to form said
sentences. He also explains some
variations (If clause written before
the main clause and vice versa).
(S-T)
Through the same
PowerPoint presentation, the teacher
conducts a controlled practice
activity. By asking for volunteers, or
naming someone randomly, a student
will have to complete the missing
information on both clauses of a
First Conditional sentence. The
student read the sentence aloud,
applying the grammatical rules
covered in the lesson, the teacher
shows the answer on the
presentation, explains the answer,
and then, he requests another
student to read the next sentence.
(S-S)
- The teacher presents the
writing activity. In groups of three,
students will have to create a short
text, using the content covered
during the lesson. In the context of
Election Day, each group will have
to write a proposal text, in which
they make deals and/or threats,
offers, and promises to people, as if
they were running against another

political party in the classroom. Using

front of the class, and every group
must hand in their respective
proposals by the end of the lesson.
