Taller de Práctica Docente 2015 Tutora: Prof. Cecilia A. Zemborain Co- tutora:Prof. Graciela Inés Manzur Lesson Plans – Practicum – Third Period I.F.D.C. LenguasVivas ALUMNA PRACTICANTE: Paula Schulze Compañera que revisó el plan: Myriam Tielve Período de Práctica: Tercero – Nivel Secundario Institución Educativa: Colegio Bilingüe Neuquén Dirección:Los Álamos 700, Neuquén Sala/Grado/Año: 4to año Cantidad de alumnos: 19 Nivel Lingüístico del curso: Intermedio alto Tipo de Planificación: Clase UnidadTemática: Naturaleza y Energía Clase N°: 1 Fecha: 27/09/2015 Hora: 11 – 12.20 Duración de la clase: 80 minutos Fecha de la primera entrega: 16/09/2015  Teaching Points: Definite article Revising tenses: Simple present, present continuous, simple past, past continuous, past perfect, present perfect, present perfect continuous, future will and going to, future progressive (affirmative, interrogative, negative forms) before introducing the next teaching topic that is Reported speech  Aims and goals: During this lesson, learners will be able to…  Develop their listening and speaking skills by talking about their language learning process.  Develop their writing skill by writing sentences related to their experience with the language.  Develop their oral production to talk about their learning experience of the target language.  Develop the acquisition of instances in which the definite article has to be used  Language focus: LEXIS FUNCTION STRUCTURES PRONUNCIATION REVISION Native speaker Identifying and naming different tenses Different tense forms Wh questions and Yes/No questions using different Recognition and use of the sounds /ði/ in the when pronounced in a stressed position /ðə/ in the when
tenses pronounced in a unstressed position NEW Actions: To sit for an exam Talking about the uses of the definite article Recognition and use of the word /sə(r)ˈtɪfɪkət/ in certificate  Teaching approach: The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free- stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.  Integrating skills: during this class students will develop their listening skill while listening to the teacher and to their mates. They will also integrate reading and writing when they are asked to write sentences about their language learning process and then read them aloud. Their conceptual thinking will also be developed while analyzing the uses of the definite article.  Materials and resources:copies on tenses and sentences- posters with triggering questions - markers for the board  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will not work with ICT support.  Seating arrangements: The students will be sitting in lines of 4 or 5 desks. It must be said that each student has a favorite place within the class. As for this first class, there will not be changes in the sitting arrangement.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to discuss about the forms, functions and example of given sentences in order to complete a chart.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: as it is the first class I will give to the sts, I hope I will manage to do all the activities planned. Either the sts may feel shy with the new teacher or relaxed and so they may take their time to work. So I will be checking time during the whole class. Because of the free conversation that will take place, I will also be ready to provide vocabulary on demand. I will carry my “little super dictionary” in case there is a word I do not.
If the definition is not provided either I will ask the sts to search on their cell phones, or I will write the word down to bring the answer on the following class. I´m also worried about the balance I have to reach in my classes between the communicative and the training abilities they must acquire for the FCE.  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it difficult to complete the tenses chart. If that is the case I will prompt or model the answers.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities. Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will greet the sts, ask them how they feel and then I will tell them again what will be my role in the classes to come (the teacher, Miss Valeria, had already introduced me when I went to observe the class for the 1st time). At that time students were told that they had been selected for their positive and working attitude as well as for their handling of the target language.  I will write the date on the blackboard (this is the teacher´s routine so I will stick to it) if the previous teacher hasn´t done it yet. All the teachers in the school are supposed to write the date in English although his/ her subject may not be that one. Transition: Let´s get ready to talk about ourselves and our relationship with the English language. Warm up: 15´ Purpose: to recall previous knowledge about individual English learning experiences and set the context. T: ok sts. You are going to divide into 4 groups of 4 (16 sts ) and 1 group of 3 students. On each wall of the classroom I´m going to display some questions about you and the language and I want you stand up, visit one poster at a time and discuss the questions with the members of your group. When I tell you, you have to move to the next poster please. I will give them 2 minutes in each post. The questions and the posters will be numbered because of the retelling activity later, I think, this will help. I´m going to display these questions; the tenses are not going to be included. Before starting the activity I´m also going to remind sts to speak L2. POSTER 1 1. Do you study English every day? (simple present)Does anyone in your class study English every day? Why/Why not? How? 2. Are you thinking in English now? Why? Why not? POSTER 2 3. What part of your brain do you think is working? (present continuous) 4. Have you ever studied English abroad? (Present perfect) 5. Have you been training hard for the FCE? (present perfect continuous) POSTER 3 6. Are you going to sit for the FCE? Why? /why not?(future tense- going to) 7. What do you think we will learn today? (future – will) POSTER 4 8. In 2 months you are finishing the school year. Do you think you will have done your best as regards English? How? (Future perfect)
9. How long approximately will you have been speaking in English by the end of this morning? Is it too much? And by the end of the school-week, how long will you have been speaking English?(future progressive) POSTER 5 10. Were you speaking in English while I was writing the date? (past continuous) 11. Did you have a native teacher? Who? Where? What was he/she like? (simple past) 12. In 2013 some of you sat for the PET exam. Had you done a previous test to that one? Which one? Why not? (past perfect) GREEN = PRESENT tenses BLUE = future tenses RED = past tenses While students are answering the questions, I will walk around paying attention more on the content of what is being answered than on the tense the sts are using unless there is a communication break or misunderstanding in, in that case I will prompt or provide some words, expressions or tenses. Once the sts have visited all the posters, I’ll ask them to go back to their places. Transition: very good! You have sort of flown over your English learning experience! Why don´t we listen to some of your answers? Communicative Activity: 10´ Purpose: to express sts´experiences of the target language I will take the 5 posters to the front and I will stick them on the board. T: so, who would like to share the answer for question number 1? While sts are sharing their answers with the whole class, I will encourage the sts to use the tenses used in each question.I will also prompt or provide words on demand. Transition: great! Let´s concentrate on a different aspect of the language! Activity 1:20´ Purpose: to recall previous knowledge about tenses T: So let´s have a look at the different posters again but now concentrate on the tenses of the questions. Do they refer to past, present or future aspects of your language learning development? Sts: All of them! T: Great! So which poster refers to past experiences? Sts:Poster 5 T:Which poster refers to present experiences? Sts:Posters 1 and 2 T: Finally, which poster refers to future experiences? Sts: Posters 3 and 4 T: Awesome! Then, I will deliver some copies and I will ask the sts to complete the following chart in pairs; the examples they provide must be their personal answers of the questions on the posters. T: Ok, let´s get down to business and complete the chart in pairs! I will provide some information that will be in the copy in bold as shown below.
I think this will lead and motivate the sts to complete the chart in a more dynamic or attractive way. In some cases, I have also provided the answers for 2 of the slots to be filled in, in this way I believe the sts will not be that confused or lost. While sts are completing the chart, I will walk around, checking understanding, exemplifying or explaining doubts. TENSES: Complete the information that is missing about the main tenses in English: Tense: Form: 3rd person: “S” Usage(s): Example: Tense: Form: Usage: action taking place at the moment of speaking Example: Tense: Form: have/has + past participle Usage: Example: Tense Form: Usage: putting emphasis on the course or duration (not the result) Example: I have been training hard for the FCE. Tense: future tense- going to Form: Usage: Example: Tense: Form: Usage: Example: We will learn a topic related to articles. Tense: Future perfect Form: Usage: action that will be finished at a certain time in the future Example: Tense: Form: Usage:- action taking place before a certain time in the future -putting emphasis on the course of an action Example: I will have been Tense: Form: Usage: Example: I had 2 teachers who were native speakers.

After sts have completed the chart, I will ask some volunteers to tell the sections they have completed. Transition: Excellent! How about connecting your language processes with the brain specifically! Presentation Activity 1: 15´ Purpose: to set the context and introduce the target structure I will clean the board from the posters and I will deliver another copy with these sentences. Then I will ask them to think about these assertions. 1. One of the most significant changes affecting the English language over the last 10 years is the growing presence of spoken forms while many less examples of the written forms. 2. The scientists have developed procedures to understand the way the human brain works. 3. Considerable progress has been made over the last decade toward improved techniques to study the human brain and how it works while learning. 4. The revolution of this study area has become especially appealing for educators as well as others professionals. 5. The most relevant aspect about the brain and its functioning is that almost everything is under scrutiny to scientists in different fields. 6. The head of the neuroscience department, Dr Grace said that we are still far from understanding the functions of the brain circuits yet. Source: I have invented most of the sentences although I have helped myself with the corpora: http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/x.asp?r1=&w=1093&h=614 T: Did you know about them? Sts: I knew the scientists are studying the brain in deep. T: Great, it´s true! Notice that I have underlined some of the phrases in these assertions. Can you guess why? Why are they important? Sts: They have the article/ word “the”. They talk about something specific. T: yes, all these sentences refer to the brain, the language, specific scientists, they refer to something specific or unique. That is why we talk about the “definite article”. So, I want you to open your book at page 125, exercise 5 and there you have the explanation of the use of the definite article. Please, individually match the explanations, that is to say sentences a to g, with the sentences I have just given you.

The head of the neuroscience department, Dr Grace said that we are still far from understanding the functions of the brain circuits yet. Some titles that include “of” Next, we will check the sentences with their explanations orally and I will provide feedback if needed. Transition: let´s do the last activity! Activity 2: 15´ Purpose: to use the target structure in a less controlled context and in meaningful sentences. I will ask the sts to do the activity they have in their book (page 125, Ex 5) but completing the sentences with information about their own. T: Ok now, I would like you to match the explanations with the example but providing them in complete sentences and related to the topic of education, learning, the brain, etc. in pairs. I will provide an example: In reference to the nationalities you can say: The British are learning the consequences of drug abuse in elder people. While the sts are writing the sentences, I will walk around checking understanding, spelling, prompting possibilities, etc. Once they have finished I will ask some volunteers to read some sentences aloud. Finally, I’m going to inform the sts about the homework for the following week (short story). Transition: you have learned a lot! Now put your belongings away and let´s go to the break! See you next week! Homework: This is the 2nd day after a week without classes. So sts are coming back to rhythm little by little. On the other hand, teachers are slowly gearing up for the last two months of classes and particularly these sts for the FCE. So quite in advance,I will ask them to start reading (for Wednesday the 7th ) the short story Same Time, Same Place by Bates; they have it in their book "From the Cradle to the Grave" by Oxford Bookworms Collection.

I.F.D.C. LenguasVivas ALUMNA PRACTICANTE: Paula Schulze Compañera que revisó el plan: Myriam Tielve Período de Práctica: Tercero – Nivel Secundario Institución Educativa: Colegio Bilingüe Neuquén Dirección:Los Álamos 700, Neuquén Sala/Grado/Año: 4to año Cantidad de alumnos: 19 Nivel Lingüístico del curso: Intermedio alto Tipo de Planificación: Clase Unidad Temática: Noticias y medios de comunicación Clase N°: 2 Fecha: 5/10/2015 Hora: 11 – 12.20 Duración de la clase: 80 minutos Fecha de la primera entrega: 30/09/2015  Teaching Points: Reported speech Revising topic: Definite article  Aims and goals: During this lesson, learners will be able to…  Develop their listening and speaking skills by talking about recent news.  Develop their writing skill by writing a possible dialogue between famous people.  Develop their language awareness to use reporting structures and verbs  Language focus: LEXIS FUNCTION STRUCTURES PRONUNCIATION REVISION Vocabulary that may come out during the activities: -News -Pieces of news -To drown -Refugee -To give a speech -Toxic gasses or fumes presidential candidates Talking about the uses of the definite article Recognition and use of the sounds /ði/ in the when pronounced in a stressed position and before vowels /ðə/ in the when pronounced in a unstressed position I presented this during the last class, so I would like to check if the sts use these sounds in different
contexts. NEW Reporting verbs: Presume, recollect, maintain, assume Talking about what someone has said using different reporting verbs Changes that occur in pronouns tenses and time expressions in reported speech Recognition and use of the sounds /prɪˈzjuːm/ in presume /draʊnd/ in drowned /meɪnˈteɪn/ or /mənˈteɪn/ in maintain  Teaching approach: The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free- stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.  Integrating skills: during this class students will integrate their speaking and listening skills to improve their aural comprehension and production. They will also integrate reading and writing when they are asked to write a dialogue and then read it aloud. Their conceptual thinking will also be developed while analyzing the uses of the reported speech.  Materials and resources: copies – OHP – colored copies of famous people - markers for the board, my laptop  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson the OHP will be used to support visual stimulus for discussion and for the students to invent a dialogue.  Seating arrangements: The students will get in groups of 4 for the 1st and last activities. In between they will work in pairs as well.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to consider perspectives about latest pieces of news and about the content of the dialogues they will invent and they will agree on how to transfer a direct speech dialogue into an indirect speech paragraph. Besides, they will have to consider which reporting verbs to include.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: I will carry my dictionary as in the previous class. I have focused on the main aspects of reported speech so reporting questions or instances in which reported speech do not occur have been left aside.  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it difficult to turn the dialogue into reported speech if this is the case I will prompt or model the answers. I will also encourage the sts to have the grammar charts at hand.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities.
Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will write the date on the blackboard (this is the teacher´s routine so I will stick to it) once I have elicited it from sts. Transition: let´s get ready to talk about the latest news! Warm up: 10´ Purpose: to recall previous knowledge about latest news in the media and set the context T: Ok sts! You are going to look at some pictures and I would like you to think or remember why they were relevant during this year. Why were they in the headlines? Then I will show the pictures with the Power Point program and the help of an OHP. In case of no electricity, I will carry the 4 pictures printed in colors and in office size (full-frame pictures). If I have to use the printed pictures, I will stick them on the board. T: Now, I want you to get in pairs and talk about each picture and its relevance to the world or to the country. Before starting the activity I´m also going to remind sts to speak L2.
Source:Google images During this and the following exercise, I’m going to take notes of exact sentences that some sts use. While students are answering the questions, I will walk around paying attention more on the content of what is being answered than on the structures the sts are using unless there is a communication breakdown or misunderstanding in the communication, in that case I will prompt or provide some words, expressions or tenses. T: Now, tell me who are the characters in each picture?In picture 1? Sts: The Serbian boy and the policeman who rescued him T: In the 2nd picture? Sts: Macri, Massa and Scioli T: What about picture 3? Sts: The football players from River (I´m sure the sts will know their names) T: And in the last picture? Sts: The Pope T: Can you tell me why have they been in the headlines lately? Once the sts have expressed and shared their perspectives I will say: Transition: very good! What if we invite them to talk?
Presentation Activity 1: 15´ Purpose: to invent dialogues to set the context for the teaching structure T: Please, I would like you to get in groups (3 groups of 4 members and 1 of 5) and invent 1 dialogue using the characters from the photographs. It must be just a 6 line-dialogue, no longer than that and you must write it in an extra sheet of paper. For example: the pope with the Turkish policeman or the football player with Macri. As mentioned above, while students are inventing the dialogue, I will walk around paying attention more on the content of what is being said than on the structures the sts are using unless there is a communication break or misunderstanding in the communication, in that case I will prompt or provide some words or expressions. Once sts have finished, I will invite 2 members of each group to stand up and role-play the dialogues. T: Now, 2 members from each group are going to role-play the dialogues and the others must try to remember what the classmates have just said. It is a memory game, ok? You have to take notes! Sts will role-play the 4 dialogues. I will check meaning and vocabulary. If necessary, I will prompt or provide specific words, synonyms, expressions. Transition: great! Remember the dialogues but now let´s concentrate on a different aspect! Activity 2: 15´ Purpose: to introduce ways of reporting someone´s words T: So, let´s imagine you have to report the dialogues we have heard. Can you remember every word, expression? Sts: No! T: No. If the sentences are short probably you can report them accurately if not you report the ideas mainly, only the main ideas. Let´s see how you can report the ideas. Look at these sentences. At this point I’m going to write the sentences I have been writing down. I´m going to write them between inverted commas for the sts to see they were their actual words, but I will also have some sentences ready in case I have no time to take notes. The verbs are not going to be underlined. “The drowned Serbian boy died last August” (Agustin) “The Pope has visited 9 countries so far” ( Lara) “I´m sure one day I will meet the River football players” (Francisco) T: Why have I used quotation marks? Sts: Because they are the exact words they said. T: Great! So let´s look at same basic and very easy ways to report the sentences: you change the tense of the verb, we sometimes call it the “backshift”, do you understand what it means? Sts: To move backwards T: Yes! So look at the 1st sentence, which is the verb? Sts: Died! T: Yes. What tense is it? Sts: Past tense T: Which tense is back in time? Sts: Past perfect T: Awesome! So we say: Santiago said that the Serbian boy had died. I will write this on the board next to the sentence. T. But it says “last August”, how can we report this structure? If sts do not remember I will provide the 2nd chart below for them to have it as a guide.
Sts: The previous August. So we say: Santiago said that the Serbian boy had died the previous August. I will complete the sentence on the board. T: Perfect! Now, who would like to do the 2nd sentence? St 1: Lara said the Pope had visited 9 countries so far. T: Excellent! And the last one? Can anyone try? If there are no volunteers, I will provide the following copy for the sts to use as a guide. I will give them time to read through the notes and I will ask again for the last sentence. St 2: Francisco said he was sure he would meet the River football player same day. T: Does the pronoun “I” of the original sentence remains the same? Sts: No, it changes to “he”. T: Ok so, so far, what aspects change from direct speech to indirect speech? Sts: Pronouns, tenses, modals and time phrases.
Source:http://teacherpatriciomaureira.blogspot.com.ar/ Transition: Excellent! How about adding something else to these lists? Activity 3: 10´ Purpose: to brainstorm and teach reporting verbs T: If we want to report someone´s words we cannot be repeating: Francisco said this, he said that, he told us this, etc. so as not to bore the listener, do you remember which other verbs we can use? Sts: Exclaimed, answered, claimed! T: Perfect! I´m going to give you some other reporting verbs but you have to find the pairs with similar meanings and find their differences in formality. Work with your partner. I´m going to deliver the following copy: A B admit inform remember presume tell confess insist recollect assume maintain Source: I have designed it using different grammar books I have at home KEY: A B admit confess remember recollect tell inform insist maintain assume presume Before the sts complete the chart, I will check if they understand mainly: Presume, recollect, maintain and assume. T: Do you understand the meaning of presume? St: It is to imagine or guess. T: Ok, what about recollect? Sts: It is the synonym of remember.
T: Or recall or think back. Very good! And maintain what´s the meaning of this verb in this context? Probably this word is not well known for the sts so I will explain its meaning like this: T: It means to claim, to assert. So you can say, The accused maintained he was innocent. Then I will give the sts some minutes to complete the chart. T: Now, who can read the pairs? After checking the answers I will ask about the formality of the verbs. T: Which are more formal? Sts: The ones in column B. T: Yes! But let´s leave this chart open in case other verbs appear! Transition: let´s see how much you brain can remember! Activity 4: 15´ Purpose: to use the target structure in a less controlled and meaningful context. T: Now, working in the same group you were before, you have to try to report one of your classmates´ dialogues. You have to use as many reporting verbs as you can. Don´t forget to resort to the notes you took and the copies I have given you! While the sts are writing the dialogues, I will walk around checking understanding, use of reporting speech and verbs, prompting possibilities, etc. Once they have finished I will ask some volunteers to read the 5 dialogues aloud. Transition: Excellent! Let´s do the last activity! Activity 5: 10´ Purpose: to recall the theory the sts have seen in this class while using the definite article T: Working in the same group I want you to write 2 golden rules specific about reported speech. Choose 2 of these expressions to write the rules: I will write these opening expressions on the board:  The tenses, time phrases, pronouns are ……  The verb(s)……  The reporting verb(s)…… The different groups will read out their golden rules and if there is time I or a volunteer will write them on the board (or on a poster “cartulina” to leave it in the classroom) like this: Rule # 1: Rule # 2: Rule # 3, etc. Then I will tell them about the next-class quiz. T: As you have just summarized in these 3 golden rules, you have learned a lot today so I think it will be good for you to go over this topic at home and so next class we are going to have a quiz. So you can check how is your learning process going on, consider it a self-evaluation. And don´t forget to read the story “Same place, same time” and bring the mate and cookies! When sts have the “literature morning” they bring “los mates” and some cookies to share while working on the story of the day. I will also tell the sts what will be quiz about and ask for queries.
T: Now put your belongings away and let´s go to the break! See you next week! Taller de Práctica Docente 2015 Tutora: Prof. Cecilia A. Zemborain Co- tutora: Prof. Graciela Inés Manzur Lesson Plans – Practicum – Third Period I.F.D.C. LenguasVivas ALUMNA PRACTICANTE: Paula Schulze Compañera que revisó el plan: Myriam Tielve Período de Práctica: Tercero – Nivel Secundario Institución Educativa: Colegio Bilingüe Neuquén Dirección:Los Álamos 700, Neuquén Sala/Grado/Año: 4to año Cantidad de alumnos: 19 Nivel Lingüístico del curso: Intermedio alto Tipo de Planificación: Clase UnidadTemática: La soledad Clase N°: 3 Fecha: 13/10/2015 Hora: 11 – 12.20 Duración de la clase: 80 minutos Fecha de la primera entrega: 7/10/15  Teaching Points: Vocabulary from the short story “Same time, same place” by Bates Revising topic: Reported speech  Aims and goals: During this lesson, learners will be able to…  Develop their listening and speaking skills by talking about different and diverse perspectives involved in the topic.  Develop their writing skill at the time of noting down characters’ traits  Develop their reading skill by understanding and decoding given phrases  Language focus: LEXIS FUNCTION STRUCTURES PRONUNCIATION REVISION Possible vocabulary that may appear: Well off To live on a pension Feel lonely Pathetic personality Feel sympathy for To accept/ refuse so´s proposal Talk about diverse perspectives Changes that occur in pronouns tenses and time expressions in reported speech I have a car. Recognition and use of the words /maɪˈnjuːt/ (adj) minute /ˈhɒmˌbɜː(r)ɡ/ (n) homburg
He said he had a car. NEW Vocabulary: - a thorn in someone flesh -To keep up appearances -A rummage sale -To fall to pieces -A mere kennel 7 feet by 10 -By Jove! -With considerable diffidence -To look after someone -At dead on twelve -To do sth like fury -To draw someone´s pension -To hiss at each other -To struggle to do sth. -Talk about diverse perspectives considering one´s point of view -Talk about what someone has said using different reporting verbs Recognition and use of the vowel sounds /əˈpɪərəns/ like in Appearance /ˈrʌmɪdʒ/ like in rummage sale  Teaching approach: The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, at times, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free-stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.  Integrating skills: during this class students will develop their listening skill while listening to the teacher and to their mates. They will also integrate reading and writing when they are asked to write sentences based on facts from the story and then read them aloud. Different learning styles are also taken into account when including a listening activity for auditory learners and a concept map for visual and logical students.  Materials and resources: story handout – cd player – cd- markers for the board- copies – slips of paper – my laptop  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will work with ICT support to assess sts´ listening skill during the quiz.  Seating arrangements: The students will be sitting in lines of 4 or 5 desks but at times they will move places to work in groups or pairs as requested by the activity proposed.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to discuss and agree on the main features or main similarities between the main characters of the story.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: in the last activity sts may include questions that later on have to be reported by peers, as this hasn´t been taught yet, I will prompt the possibilities. Example:
St1 why did you leave? Where do you live? T: he asked her why she had left or where she lived  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it difficult to understand the ending of the story; in this case I will lead the sts with open questions for their comprehension and production stages.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities. Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will ask the sts the date and write it on the blackboard (this is the teacher´s routine so I will stick to it). Transition: How if we have the quiz on reported speech first and then we plunge into the short story? Activity 1: 15´ Purpose: to introduce a context while listening to a journalist´s report for sts´ self-assessment on reported speech. I have chosen the material from the st´s book as suggested by the teacher so as to work on material the sts already have. T: Ok sts. You are going to listen to a journalist reporting on a problem in education. While doing so, you have to complete a gapped text and then do 3 exercises on reported speech. I´m going to play the CD twice. The answers must be on an extra sheet of paper and don’t forget to write down your names and use legible handwriting. So open your book at page 131 and go to exercise 7. What shall we do 1st with the text? Sts: read it through T: Great! You will have a quick look and try to predict the words that may go in the gaps. I will give you some minutes for you to do so before the 1st listening. In case of electricity problems, I will read the script of the interview changing tones of voice while reading the different characters’ words.

Source:SpotlighttoFCE byAlastairLan; Cengage Learning;National GeographicLearning(2015). KEY: Exercises 8,9 and 10 T: Ok, now I want you to exchange the answer sheet with your nearby classmate to do peer- correction. Once you have your classmate´s sheet of paper, have a look at his/her answers. Is there anything you do not understand? This is the time to ask. I will give the sts some time to do this. I will do so in order to have objective or accurate corrections. T: So now, let´s check the answers together. Take a color pen or pencil to write the ticks or corrections if needed. T: Who can read the article with the missing information? Then T and sts will check the answers orally. Once finished, sts will give the answer sheet back to his/her owner with the corrections done and a score provided using this technique of percentage: 21/21 (there are 21 blanks to be filled in). Then I will collect the answer sheets and give them to the class teacher. T: How was your performance? Do you feel secure about this topic or do you feel you have to practice it a bit more? If so, which aspects? If sts come out with doubts about the topic I can prepare some extra exercises or another presentation as well. Transition: Very good! Talking about speech, how if we see what the story´s characters have to tell us?
Activity 1: 5´ Purpose: to introduce a 1st discussion about the short story T: Please, would you take the short story Same Time, Same Place by Bates? (sts have it in their book "From the Cradle to the Grave" by Oxford Bookworms Collection. A copy is included below). And get ready to indulge yourself in some “mates” and some cookies! Now, throughout some comprehension questions I would like to get the sts hooked on the story´s analysis. T: How did you like the story? St 1: I liked it very much although there are only 2 main characters. T: Yes! Do you remember their names? Sts: Miss Doris Treadwell and Harry Mr. Thornhill. T: Do you understand the meanings of “tread” and “thorn”? Sts: A step and a spine T: Ok so, do these names have any reference to the story? What is the possible relation of their names and their relation? How are their names related to their relations? Sts: Yes, because she was sure about her lifestyle and he appeared in her life as a spine. T: Yes, and he became a thorn in her flesh. (I will write the expression on the board). Do you agree? Sts: Yes! T: Do you think the main character was happy or wanted to believe she was happy? Sts: She was really happy and the presence of Mr. Thornhill disturbed that happiness. T: How old is Miss Treadwell? Sts: She is in her late fifties. T: Do you think she had ever been married? Why? Sts: Probably she had been because she was not afraid of sitting next to Mr. Thornhill the 1st time she saw him in the park. Transition: let´s see how the author describes the characters’ personalities! Activity 2: 15´ Purpose: to introduce and analyze in context the language used by the author T: I will deliver a photocopy with vocabulary or expressions from the short story. You have to get in pairs and find these expressions in the story. Then rephrase them in your own words. The purpose of the activity is to focus on particular features of the language, its use and meaning. I have selected the phrases I think will better help the sts to analyze the characters’ attitudes or personalities. I will not include the definitions in the sts´ copies. 1. To keep up appearances =to pretend that everything is good,for example with your marriage or your financial situation,even though you are having problems 2. A rummage sale = (Am E) an event where people raise moneyby selling old clothes and other things that you no longer want, sold to raise money.The British word is jumble sale. 3. To fall to pieces =to be in a very bad condition because ofbeing old or badly made 4. A mere kennel 7 feet by 10 = very small building where a dog sleeps 5. By Jove! =used for emphasizing whatyou are saying or for expressing surprise 6. With considerable diffidence = not confident or shy 7. To look after someone /something = to take care of someone or something and make certain that they have everything they need 8. At dead on twelve = at exactly 12 p.m. 9. To do sth like fury = to do something with a lot of energy and determination 10. To draw someone´s pension = to receive money regularly after he/she has stopped working because oftheir age,paid either by their companyor by the government 11. To hiss at each other = to complain in a softvoice
12. To struggle to do sth. = to try hard to do something thatyou find very difficult Source: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/ Once the sts have finished we will discuss the meaning of those given expressions in relation to the context given in the story. We will not analyze the characters yet. Transition: Let´s use all these expressions to describe the singular main characters! Activity 3: 20´ Purpose: to compare and contrast the main characters of the story I will prepare some signs (similar to the one sts use to write their names) with a number on them, from 1 to 6 so as to organize the following activity. T: I will name the sts to get in 5 groups of 3 and 1 of 4 members (there will be 6 groups); you will have to complete the following concept map, but:  2 groups will describe Miss Doris Treadwell, GROUPS 1&2  2 groups will describe Mr. Harry Thornhill GROUPS 5&6  2 groups will describe the similarities and differences between both characters. GROUPS 3&4 GROUPS 1&2 GROUPS 3&4 GROUPS 5&6 CHARCATERISTICS SIMILARITIES OR CHARCATERISTICS DIFFERENCES T: In all cases, the descriptions must be only supported trough the evidence you have in your story, no presuppositions or feelings you have towards them; only facts. Remember you can take the dictionaries if you want. Sts have a locker in their classroom with all their English-English dictionaries in and they take them when in need. T: What concrete aspects can we take into account to compare or contrast them? Sts: Appearances, habits, apartments, their exact words or thoughts. T: Perfect! Get down to business! While sts are doing this activity I will walk around checking their analysis, prompting vocabulary, encouraging the use of the new expressions and checking they are supporting their choices on facts. After that, I will ask the groups to share the aspects they had examined. The others will have to complete the concept map while listening to their classmates. The 2nd group will also be asked to pay attention to the facts the 1st group lists so as not to repeat given information. I have chosen this way because if sts fill in the whole chart directly, at the time of the retelling they do not pay attention to their peers because they have already answered or covered all the stages of the map. In this way they will have only 1 section of the concept map completed therefore they will have to pay attention to their peers’ retelling. Miss Treadwell Mr. Thornhill
Once they have finished, I will ask the sts: T: Now, groups 1 and 2 can you describe Miss Treadwell’s point of view about the situation? T: Groups 5 and 6, Can you describe the situation from Mr. Thornhill´s point of view? T: Who would like to come to the front to perform the role of the main characters? T: And finally what aspects do they share to become a stable and happy couple and which ones they don´t. Transition: Great! Let´s do the last activity using our imagination! Activity 4: 20´ Purpose: to retell a possible dialogue T: So let´s imagine the main characters meet by chance 6 months later. What do they say to each other? I´m going to give you slips of paper and you are going to write on them only 1 sentence with a possible expression, comment or complain they could have said. Next, I´m going to put all the slips of paper in a bag and mix them up. After that, I will take one slip at a time and I will ask for volunteers to turn those sentences into reported speech. This will give the sts the opportunity to use the reported speech “backshifts”. Transition: you have learned a lot today so no homework to be done! Now put your belongings away and let´s go to the break! See you next week! Same Time, Same Place By H. E. BATES "From the Cradle to the Grave" by Oxford Bookworms Collection ONE had tokeepup appearances, Miss Treadwellalways told herself. Whatever else happened, one simply had to keep up appearances. After all, one had one's pride. The sepia musquash coat she always worethroughoutthe winter had not only the advantageof keeping her warmand making her look almost upper middle class but of also concealing the fact that underneath it she worea man's woolen cardigan and a brown imitation leather waistcoatpicked up for a shilling at a rummage sale. Underneath these garments her corsets had so far fallen topieces that every now and then she padded them with folds of newspaper. If thesefailed to give her buxombut not too ample figurethe distinguished and elegant line shesaw so often in advertisements, they at least werewarmtoo and cheap and comforting. Aboveall, they helped to keep up appearances. Miss Treadwell, who was in her late fifties, was apt to refer to her minute bed- sitter, a mere kennel sevenfeet by ten, as "my little domain," though if occasion demanded she might enlarge a little on that, calling it "my apartment." A divan bed, a chair, a table, and a sink left no roomwhatever for a cooker, though this hardly mattered, since shenever cooked except to make toast over a gas ring. Her diet consisted mostly, except on Sundays, of bread, margarine, and tea, though even this, for various reasons, shehad only occasional!} at home. EVERY MORNING, atabout eleven o'clock, she went out and saton one of the seats in the public gardens. Onedidn't have to wait long there before someonedropped a newspaper into a litter basket, so that one got the news of the day for nothing besides a new padding for the corsets when necessary. After reading for another half hour Miss Treadwell went into a small cafe around the corner and had her lunch. This too consisted of a bread roll, margarine, and a pot of tea. It was mostimportant always to order a pot of tea, since in this way one got a small bowlof cube sugar, mostof which was easily slipped into a handbag. Itwas also important to select a
table wheresomeone else had recently been eating. In this way one quite often found two or three pennies or even sixpence left under a plate and uncollected by a busy waitress. After lunch she always wentback to the gardens to visit the Public Ladies. Itwas quite extraordinary what one sometimes found in the Public Ladies. Frequently someonehad forgotten a lipstick, a powder compact, a comb, a box of eye shadow. OnceMiss Treadwell had actually found a small handbag containing, among other things, a bottle of peroxide. With the use of this she suddenly went sensationally and almost youthfully blonde, thus keeping up appearances dramatically. She had learned other tricks by experience: for example, that late on Saturday afternoons onecould buy, for a few pence, bags of unsold cakes that wouldn'tkeep in the shops until Monday, or bags of broken biscuits that made a delicious Sunday treat if you put them in a bowland poured a layer of thin hot chocolate over them. There were also flowers: sometimes as you walked through the street marketyou came across a whole box of them, daffodils or roses or carnations or gladioli, that had dropped froma truck and nobody had ever bothered to pick up. A few swiftly snatched-up stalks turned the bed-sitter into a little paradise. SOONAFTERthe incident of the peroxide that had turned her a light youthful blonde and helped to keep up her appearances so dramatically, shewas sitting in the public gardens on an April morning. The day was suddenly and unusually hot; tulips that had been mere half-green buds the day before werenow becoming, every moment, moreand more like shimmering open wineglasses of pink and scarlet and yellow; an occasionalwhite or yellow butterfly skimmed through the many wide yellow trumpets of daffodils under trembling pink canopies of cherry blossom. Allthe many seats in the gardens werecrowded. Itwas very much a morning when appearances mattered. The only place she could find to sit down was next to a gentleman who, because of the sudden April heat, had taken off his black homburg and laid it on the seat beside him. As Miss Treadwell approached he removed the hat and balanced it on his knee. His hair was a smooth iron gray. This alone would not have confirmed him as a gentleman, but the homburg hat most certainly did. Men who wore homburgs werealways gentlemen. Alter studying his newspaper in concentrated silence for another five minutes, he folded it up and laid that too on the seat beside him. Unwilling to appeal- too eager, Miss Treadwell waited some further minutes before saying: "I hopeyou won't think me rude, l)iit 1 wonder—could I take a tiny glance at your newspaper? I couldn'tget one this morning." "Ob, by all means. By all means. Take it, please. I'vefinished with it anyway." "Oh, T didn't mean to take it altogether." "Oh, do!I'vefinished the crossword. And onceI'vefinished that I'mnot interested. Do you do the crossword?" No, Miss Treadwellhad to confess, shenever did the crossword. Shesupposed shewasn'tclever enough for that. "Nor was I, this morning. There was a devil of a clue and the only word that fitted was 'poitivene.' Had "And what on earth is it?" "It's a sortof chrysanthemum." "Isit, by Jove! How ever did you know?" Miss Treadwellsaid shehad seen them on the market flower stalls, labeled. There was another one called rayonante. Shealways thought they weresuch pretty names, she said, and the gentleman in the homburg gave her a long friendly blue-eyed stareof admiration. me stuck for an hour. Do you know what a poitivene is?" Miss Treadwell suddenly felt flattered and very pleased with herself. Yes, she said, as a matter of fact she did. SII.KXCK camebetween them for some few minutes after this, until finally the gentleman in the homburg said: "What a beautiful morning." "Lovely. Spring at last." "Spring at last." Miss Treadwell now opened the paper and pretended to read it without actually seeing a single word. At the same time the gentleman in the homburg extended a hand and laid it on the paper and said: "Thecartoon's rather good today. Pagefive. Allow me." As the gentleman in the homburg turned the pages of the paper, Miss Treadwell suddenly noticed an extraordinary thing. On the third finger of his left hand lie was wearing a lather large ring. Itwas in the shape of a turquoise
butterfly set in a clear white stone. Withconsiderable diffidence Miss Treadwellsaid: "Whata most unusualring, if you forgiveme for saying so." "Itis rather unusual." Thegentleman in the homburg held out the ring for her to look at more closely. She gazed at it for some seconds and then said: "Itlooks sortof Chinese." "Indian, I'm told." "Is ita sortof charm, a good-luck tiling or something?" "Sortof. The butterfly is supposed to represent summer and the white stone winter and ice and all that. I supposeit's a sortof symbolof the resurgenceof spring over winter. Well, so I'vebeen told." Miss Treadwell could only listen in fervent, silent admiration. The stone flashed in the sun. And was it son of lucky? she said. "Supposed to be. But I'm afraid this thing has produced more than its fair shareof trouble." "Oh!how could that be?" "Itbelonged to my eldest sister. She left it to me. Consequently my other sister—I livewith her— has never forgiven her. She gives me hell about it." Miss Treadwell fell into a depressed silence, not knowing whatto say. The silence lasted several minutes until at last he said: "Still, I supposeI ought to be thankful shelooks after me. Do you live nearby?" "My apartmentis justround the corner." "You live alone?" "Oh, quite." "In a way I envy you. At least you've no one to quarrel with. Every day I'mglad when breakfastis over. Then I can be off on my own." In silence Miss Treadwell again gazed at the butterfly imprisoned in its ice. "Do you find it difficult to fill in the day?" the man in the homburg asked. "Oh, no, no, no! It's terribly, terribly full. By the time I've done my cooking and cleared up the apartment and so on I find that the time simply flies. I do a lot of flower arrangement." "I find it hangs like hell." They satfor sometime longer in the sun, without speaking. Then the man in the homburg looked at his pocket watch and said: "Well, I fear I mustbe going; wealways have lunch at dead on twelve. If I'm notthere she starts creating like fury." "I mustbe going too," Miss Treadwell said. "I'vemy own lunch to get. And then I'mmaking new curtains for the sitting room." "Ah!You're clever at that sortof thing?" "Oh!I don't know about clever. As a matter of fact I don't think I am. I sort of mis-measured the windows and now I need yards and yards more material." "I supposethat's the trouble with large windows." "Yes. Yes. However, weshall get over it. I know they haveplenty more at the shop." The man got up, put on his hat, and then took it off again in a courteous gesture. "Well, good-bye. It's been so nice to meet you. Oh, by the way, my name is Thornhill." The butterfly imprisoned in its ice flashed in the sun. AFTER THAT they began to meet at moreor less the same spotat moreor less the sametime on most weekdays. Theweather continued warm, sometimes even hot, and Miss Treadwell discarded the musquash coatand some of the newspaper under it, wearing instead a pale pink jersey dress and a pair of brown imitation-crocodile shoes shehad picked up cheaply at a rummage sale. "I'mfeeling rather affluent today," was the firstremark with which Mr. Thornhill greeted Miss Treadwell one morning. They had been meeting for nearly a month now. "Oh!Why is that?" "I'vestarted todraw my pension." He laughed, rather againsthimself, pleasantly. "I think it's rather funny. Do you havethe pension yet?" "Oh!no, no, clear me no," Miss Treadwell said. She laughed too. Did he mind? She hadn't quite got as far as that yet. All in good time. "Earlier in life one tends rather to despisethe thought. And then when the time comes it's rather nice. Well, I expect you won't be too proud to take it when it arrives." "Well, of courseluckily I haveprivate means." Itwas a lie, but one had to keep up appearances. Miss Treadwell's means consisted of a small PostOffice savings accountfrom which she extracted a minute sum every Monday morning. "I simply couldn't manage the apartment without." "Those curtains must havecost you a bit." "Oh, the earth! The absolute earth." "On the subjectof affluence," he suddenly said, "I feel in honor bound to buy you a drink this morning." "But it's only half-pasteleven." "By the time we've walked to the LansdowneArms it'll be twelve o'clock." "The LansdowneArms?" Miss Treadwell, who couldn'tafford to drink anyway, suddenly found herself confronted with impossiblevisions of grandeur and felt slightly frightened. Walking
across the public gardens, shekept her hands tightly folded in front of her in case one or moreof the newspapers should slip and fall down. In the bar of the LansdowneArms, everything was wrapped in red, subdued light. Like scarlet torches, a great vaseof gladioli flamed on the bar. "Now name it," Mr. Thornhill said. "Anything you like. After all, it isn't every day a man becomes of age. Sherry, port, gin, whisky, beer —whatshall it be?" Miss Treadwell hesitatingly confessed that she felt ever so slightly tempted toward a small sherry. "Splendid. I'llhavesherry too. But a dry one. And makethem," he said to the waiting barman, "largeones." Sherry in hand, Miss Treadwell sat bathed in dreams of grandeur that, for all their emergence into reality, werenow more impossiblethan ever. The sherry warmed her throat, crawled shakily through her empty stomach, and moistened her eyes. Mr. Thornhill said "cheers!" severaltimes and then suddenly burstout laughing. "God, I wish my sister could see me now!" He positively swigged at his sherry while Miss Treadwell gently sipped at hers. "Hell. Why do the children of the same parents so often hate each other?" To this question, almost barked out, Miss Treadwell had no answer and simply went on sipping her sherry. "Somedays the atmospherein that houseis poisonous. We hiss at eachother like two snakes. Oneclay—" Miss Treadwell started to think up what seemed at first a presumptuous remark butanother sip or two of sherry finally fortified her to make it. "Perhaps if you gaveher the ring, it might help things." "Good God, what? Can't you justhear her? 'Oh! far be it fromme to take the ring from you. If Alice had wished me to have the ring she would have left it to me. But the fact is she didn't, did she? Oh, no, it's your ring. Not all the wild dogs in China'—that's one of her favoritemaddening expressions, 'all the wild dogs in China.' "Mr. Thornhill savagely drained his sherry glass. "Haveyou ever known whatit is to wantto murder somebody?" "Oh, dear meno," Miss Treadwell said, her voice barely audible. "It's not funny," Mr. Thornhillsaid. "It's notfunny. Still, drink up. Second round. This is the day." Miss Treadwell started meekly to protestthat really one was enough for her, but Mr. Thornhill was already waving an expansive armin the direction of the bar. "Well, if you insist," Miss Treadwell said, "but only a very smallone this time." Of coursehe insisted, Mr. Thornhill said, and snapped out the words "Sameagain, barman," only to retract them a second later. "No, make mine whisky. A double Black and White." His sister didn't drink either, he went on to say. That made her subhuman for a start. A good drink now and then did a lot to make a person human, didn't Miss Treadwell agree? When the barman broughtthe new drinks, Mr. Thornhilldrank gaspily at his whisky, confessing thatsherry really wasn'this tipple. With whisky a man had something. It— what did they say nowadays?—itsentyou. "Wemust do this more often—make it an every- morning thing." Mr. Thornhill, having drunk half his whisky neat, now poured a little water into the restof it, complaining at the same time that you didn't get much of a measure nowadays. In no time you were ready for another. "By the way, did you finish your curtains?" No, Miss Treadwell had to confess, shehadn't yet. "Well, promiseme something. When you do, invite me up to see them. Fair enough? I envy you that apartment of yours. I really envy you. God, it would be nice to live on one's own. Well, promise me?" Well, it would be some time yet, Miss Treadwell found herself saying. Inwardly shetrembled with cold apprehension. There had been somehitch about the material. The stock of the original yellow had run out and she hadn't been able to match it up. "Well, all in good time. All in good time. But promiseme?" AFTER a third large whisky, Mr. Thornhillgave the distinct impression of talking through a muslin bag. The folds of his neck wereperceptibly reddened. Fromtime to time he locked and unlocked the fingers of his two hands and finally, in one of these unsteady gestures, he took off the butterfly ring. To her infinite and tortured astonishment, Miss Treadwell suddenly heard the words: "You said something aboutgiving the ring back to Beryl. Well, blast Beryl. I want to give it to you. Get what I mean?" He held out the brightimprisoned butterfly. "Go on. Take it. Slip it on." "Mr. Thornhill, I don't quite understand—" "Go on. Third finger, left hand." The butterfly imprisoned in its ice
sparkled. Miss Treadwell proceeded to lift her glass of sherry, only to find herself trembling so much that she had to set it down again. Mr. Thornhill smacked the palms of his hands together and his voice was overloud. "You get what I'm asking you, don't you? Itisn't always easy to say these things." Half terrified, Miss Treadwell made yet another attempt to lift her glass of sherry. This time shemanaged to get it to her lips, spilling much of it down her chin. As shemopped at it with her handkerchief it appeared to Mr. Thornhill that she might have been about to cry. She did in fact feel like crying and satfor somemoments biting her lips hard, locked in impotent nervous distress. "Well," Mr. Thornhillsaid. "What say you? Do you know, I don't even know your Christian name." "Doris." Mr. Thornhilllaughed tipsily. "Doris, I'm asking you—yes, I know, I expect you'regoing to say 'This is all so sudden.'" Well, it was. sortof. Miss Treadwell said. A vision of her bed-sitter, the kennel, suddenly roseup to mock her. The loud plop of the gas ring as she lit it echoed through her mind, extinguishing for a moment every thought. Again the imprisoned butterfly sparkled. A moment later, unsteadily grabbing at his glass, Mr. Thornhill dropped the ring on the floor. Picking it up. he was visibly trembling too. "I thoughtperhaps we could both manage in your apartment—with my pension and yours—unless perhaps you'd sooner be independent." Desperately, as never beforein her life, Miss Treadwell soughtto keep up appearances by taking her compact from her bag, looking into its mirror, and slowly powdering her nose. The face she saw in the glass, pallid and stiff, seemed not to belong to her, and hastily she shutthe compact. "Well, what do you say?" "I don'tknow what—well, anyway, not today, Mr. Thornhill. Please, not today." "Not Mister Thornhill. Harry. Tomorrow, then? Same time, sameplace, tomorrow. Here"I think I oughtto go now, Mr. Thornhill." "Harry, Harry please. Go my foot. I'mgoing to have another whisky." Mr. Thornhill's command of "Sameagain!" was so sharp and loud that a wirehaired terrier belonging to a tweeted gentleman at the far end of the bar yapped out a series of loud and agitated barks. In its feverish agitation it might well have been the echo of the voice of Miss Treadwell pleading for somesort of escape or mercy. "Good- bye," she said. "I really must go." Her voice was in fact barely audible. "Good-bye—I really must go now—" "Don'tforget." Mr. Thornhill staggered unsteadily to his feet, eyes watering weakly, the imprisoned butterfly flashing again as he soughtto shakeher hand. "Sametime, same place—" AFTER THAT Miss Treadwell never sat in the public gardens again. She now goes, instead, to a park half a mile away. In the park is a small lake. In the center of the lake is an island covered with low shrubbery and a number of wooden coops whereornamental water birds, bright mallards, unusualgeese, and even moorhens can shelter. Every morning Miss Treadwell, struggling always, with pride, to keep up appearances, takes with her a small bag of stale cakes or broken biscuits and throws them to the birds and then persuades herself it is sort of fun to watch which ones, greed) and squabbling, grab the biggest pieces first. "Tomorrow," shealways tells herself. "Same time, same place." Shealso reads the newspapers. March 21, 1968 Taller de Práctica Docente 2015 Tutora: Prof. Cecilia A.

 Teaching approach: The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free- stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.  Integrating skills: during this class students will integrate their speaking and listening skills to improve their aural comprehension and production. They will also integrate reading and writing when they are asked to write a dialogue and then read it aloud. Their conceptual thinking will also be developed while analyzing the uses of the causative have.  Materials and resources: color markers for the board, my laptop, photocopy, slip of paper  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will not work with ICT support or resources.  Seating arrangements: The students will get in 4 groups to work in the same way during the whole class.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to reason with evidence the changes the main characters of the story may have undergone. They will also consider perspectives about the content of the dialogues they will invent. Besides they will agree on how to include causative have in them.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: I will carry my dictionary as in the previous class. I have focused on causative “have” in passive voice. I have left aside the causative “get” or the use of the active causative have such as in: I had the plumber fix the pipes.  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it difficult to include the causative have in the last dialogue. If this is the case I will prompt or model some suggestions or situations. I will also encourage the sts to have the grammar pattern at hand.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities. Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will elicit the date from the sts and write it on the board. Transition: let´s get ready to talk about the short story! Warm up: 5´ Purpose: to recall previous knowledge about vocabulary from the story and set the context T: Ok sts! Do you remember the story we read last class? What was its name? Sts: Same time, same place. T: Who were the main characters? Sts: Mr. Thornhill and Miss Treadwell. T: What was mainly the story about? What was the main conflict? Sts: Two elderly people; one feels lonely and the other one alone. T: If you had to summarize the topic of the story, which one could be? Why?
Sts: Loneliness, because each of them is going through their life´s sufferings but in different ways. Each of them has different perspectives about being alone, but each of them has difficulties. T: Do you remember that we also worked on some expressions? Sts: Yes! Transition: What if we revise those expressions? Presentation Activity 1: 25´ Purpose: to recall the vocabulary introduced during the previous class. T: Do you like competitions? Sts: Yes! T: Ok, I’m going to give you 1 minute to have a look at the 12 expressions we worked on the other class, for you to remember them. Then we are going to play a game! These are the expressions from the previous class: 13. To keep up appearances =to pretend that everything is good,for example with your marriage or your financial situation,even though you are having problems 14. A rummage sale = (Am E) an event where people raise moneyby selling old clothes and other things that you no longer want, sold to raise money.The British word is jumble sale. 15. To fall to pieces =to be in a very bad condition because ofbeing old or badly made 16. A mere kennel 7 feet by 10 = very small building where a dog sleeps 17. By Jove! =used for emphasizing whatyou are saying or for expressing surprise 18. With considerable diffidence = not confident or shy 19. To look after someone /something = to take care of someone or something and make certain that they have everything they need 20.At dead on twelve = at exactly 12 p.m. 21. To do sth like fury = to do something with a lot of energy and determination 22.To draw someone´s pension = to receive money regularly after he/she has stopped working because oftheir age,paid either by their companyor by the government 23.To hiss at each other = to complain in a softvoice 24.To struggle to do sth. = to try hard to do something thatyou find very difficult Source: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/ Once the time is over, I will ask the sts to put their folders or copies away so as to leave the desks clean. T: You are going to divide in 3 groups of 4 and 1 group of 5 sts and you are going to choose 1 member to be the first speaker of each group. Once the speakers have been chosen, I’m going to ask those sts to sit at the front of the class, with their backs to the board. THE REST OF THE CLASS ST 1 ST 2 ST 3 ST 4 BOARD
Then, I’m going to ask the 4 groups to choose another speaker who will remain in the group. Next, I will write one expression from the list on the board and the speaker from group N° 1 will be the person who will have to either explain the expression on the board without using those words or provide a situation when that expression can be used. The st who is sat on the chair has to guess its meaning and if he/ she says the expression correctly, that group will get a point. Each time an expression is guessed the st on the chair will join the group again and another st will come to the chair; the same will happen with the speaker. The idea is to make all the sts participate. The game will go on until the 4 groups have guessed 2 expressions (8 expressions). After the 2nd round, if there is a draw, the groups will have a 3rd round. (There are 4 expressions left) Possible situation: Word on the board: To look after sth or sb Speaker: It is the action of checking that a person has everything he / she needs St on the chair: To draw a pension Speaker: No. It is to take care of a child or a dog, for example. St on the chair: To look after someone or sb Speaker: Yes! Transition: Great! Now let´s concentrate on a different aspect! Activity 2: 10´ Purpose: to set the context to introduce the new structure T: Do you remember that we said that the main characters finally do not get together at the end of the story? But let´s imagine, Miss Treadwell do accepts to live with Mr. Thornhill. Where did we say she lives? Sts: In a kennel, in a small apartment. T: And how old is Miss Treadwell? Sts: About 60! T: And what about her financial situation? Sts: She is poor, she doesn´t even have a pension. T: Exactly, if they decide to live together probably she will have to make some adjustments to the apartment because it is not well maintained or not well repaired. She will have to ask for help because she cannot do that alone or may be because she doesn´t know. I will deliver a slip of paper per group and I want you to list at least 3 things she will have to do and therefore she will need to hire someone´s service to do it. Once the sts have finished, they may come out with a list like this one:  change the sofa  paint the apartment  take away the old curtains (I´m going to include this example specifically for the sts to see that it is the past participle the tense that is used in this structure) I’m going to write all the expressions on the board Transition: Excellent! Lets’ see how to express this in another way Activity 3: 10´ Purpose: to teach “to have something done” T: Ok, so we have said that Miss Treadwell cannot do these things alone. So she will need to hire someone to do a service and once she has finished with all the remodeling she will say (I will point at the 1st sentence on the list):  I have my sofa changed.  I have the apartment painted.
 I have the old curtains taken away. I will write these sentences next to the stem ones using another color. T: Therefore, when we talk about services we pay someone else to do, we use the causative have. I´ll write this as a title. T: Now, have a look at the sentences in blue. I will give you 1 minute to find the grammar pattern used in this new structure. I will give you the 1st words: And I will hand in this chart to each sts for them to complete it. This grammar explanations make it a CLT plan. CAUSATIVE HAVE He /They + …………………… + ……………………… + ……………………… KEY He /They + has/ have + something + past participle Once the sts have finished with the grammar chart, we will check it all together and I will tell them: T: Let´s consider the 3rd sentence again. (As stated before, I will choose this sentence to make it clear the use of the past participle). If Miss Treadwell talks about the past, how can she say it? Sts: I had my curtains taken away. In case sts do not know how to answer I will prompt: is it correct to say I have my curtains taken away if she talks about the past? T: What if she considers asking for that service in the future? Sts: I will have my curtains taken. T: What if she has already planned it? Sts: I’m going to have the curtains taken. T: Fantastic, I will include these possibilities in the pattern chart as well. I will write them on the board. Transition: Let´s include someone else in this situation! Development Activity 4: 20´ Purpose: to use the target structure in a less controlled and meaningful context. T: So we have imagined that Mr. Thornhill and Miss Treadwell start living together. Who has been left alone in an apartment? Sts: Mr. Thornhill´s sister! T: Yes! How old do you think she is? Sts: Probably older than her brother. T: Right! Let´s imagine the sister is chatting with a friend after a year that Mr. Thornhill has left the apartment. I want you to work in the same groups and invent a short dialogue, no more than 10 lines, in which you include at least 3 services she has hired or she will hire and she tells her friend about them. Don´t forget to use the pattern that is on the board.
Probable answers: I have had my bedroom redecorated. I have my brother´s pictures taken away. I will have the old furniture taken. While students are inventing the dialogue, I will walk around paying attention to the content of what is being said but mainly to the structures the sts are using. If there is a communication breakdown or misunderstanding in the communication, in that case I will prompt or provide some words or expressions. In this activity I can also pay attention to the use of indirect sentences as the students have already worked with them. Once sts have finished, I will invite 2 members of each group to stand up and role-play the dialogues so as to check their understanding of the target structure. Transition: Excellent! I will give you the last activity! Activity 5: 5´ Purpose: to explain the homework for next class T: For next class, I want you to complete 3 short activities you have in your book on page 141. There you have a grammar section and you have to do exercises 9, 10 and 11! They have to do with causative have as well. Activities: KEY to exercises Ex 9 1. b 2. a
Ex 10 Ex 11 It is an activity in which sts have to provide personal information. T: Now put your belongings away and let´s go to the break! See you next week! Taller de Práctica Docente 2015 Tutora: Prof. Cecilia A. Zemborain Co- tutora: Prof. Graciela Inés Manzur Lesson Plans – Practicum – Third Period I.F.D.C. LenguasVivas ALUMNA PRACTICANTE: Paula Schulze Compañera que revisó el plan: Myriam Tielve Período de Práctica: Tercero – Nivel Secundario Institución Educativa: Colegio Bilingüe Neuquén Dirección:Los Álamos 700, Neuquén Sala/Grado/Año: 4to año Cantidad de alumnos: 19 Nivel Lingüístico del curso: Intermedio alto Tipo de Planificación: Clase Unidad Temática: La moda por disfrazarse /The cosplay Craze Clase N°: 5 Fecha: 21/10/2015 Hora: 8:40 a 10:10 Duración de la clase: 80 minutos
Fecha de la primera entrega: 17/10/15  Teaching Points: Passive Voice Revising topic: causative have  Aims and goals: During this lesson, learners will be able to…  Develop their listening and speaking skills by talking about different and diverse perspectives involved in the topic.  Develop their writing skill at the time of noting down their presuppositions about a word.  Develop their reading skill by understanding the passage and getting from the context the meaning of new words.  Language focus: LEXIS FUNCTION STRUCTURES PRONUNCIATION REVISION Possible vocabulary that may appear: Costume Fad (latest)fashion To be in fashion To be out of fashion To put on clothes Fancy dress Talk about what other person does for someone as a service Changes that occur when using causative have Have/has/ had +sth + (done) past participle Recognition and use of the words /ˈkɒstjuːm/ Costume /səʊ/ to sew /kləʊðz/ clothes NEW Vocabulary: From the article, sts may not know some of these words: Craze cosplay Geeky Major Garment To leap To twirl -Talk about diverse perspectives considering one´s point of view - To show interest in sth or someone that experiences the action rather than the performer of the action Changes that occur in tenses in passive voice People from different countries follow the cosplay craze. (active voice) The cosplay craze is followed by people from different countries. (passive voice) Recognition and use of the words /ˈkɒspleɪ/ Cosplay /kreɪz/ craze /ˈmeɪdʒə(r)/ major (n)  Teaching approach: The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, at times, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free-stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.
 Integrating skills: during this class students will improve their listening skill while listening to the teacher and to their mates. At the same time, they will also develop their reading and speaking fluency sharing a specific feeling, exchanging points of view and also at the time of completing a specific task.  Materials and resources: coursebook - markers for the board- copies – my laptop – poster – post- its  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will not work with ICT support.  Seating arrangements: The students will be sitting in lines of 4 or 5 desks but at times they will move places to work in groups or pairs as requested by the activity proposed.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to discuss and agree on the main idea of a paragraph and to fulfill a specific task.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: in the last activity sts may have problems at the time of choosing the correct verb tense, I will suggest looking for the answer in the chart I gave them during my 1st class. It was a class about tenses. Example: St1: “will have finished”, is it in the “will” future?  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it confusing how to express their thought in the activity they have to guess the meaning of “cosplay”, if this is the case I will ask them questions. Example: T: What representation or visual image comes to your mind when you say “cosplay”?  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities. Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will elicit the date from the sts and ask one of them to write it on the board. Warm-up: Activity 1: 10´ Transition: let´s check altogether the homework you had to do at home. As done in the 3rd class after the quiz on reported speech, I will tell the sts: T: Ok, now I want you to open your book at page 141 so as to check the homework, exercises 9, 10 and 11. Activities:
Source: Spotlight to FCE by Alastair Lan; Cengage Learning; National Geographic Learning (2015). All the students have the book so the material for them is completely legible. KEY to exercises Ex 9 3. b 4. a Ex 10 Ex 11 It is an activity in which sts have to provide personal information. T: Please, exchange your coursebooks or the paper with the answers with your nearby classmate to do peer- correction. Once you have your classmate´s sheet of paper, have a look at his/her answers. Is there anything you do not understand? This is the time to ask. I will give the sts some time to do this. I will do so in order to have objective or accurate corrections. T: So now, let´s check the answers together. Take a color pen or pencil to write the ticks or corrections if needed. T: Who can read the answers for the 1st exercise? Then T and sts will check the answers orally. While correcting the exercises, I will recall the causative structure or ask the sts to provide some extra examples if needed. The last activity is open to sts´ personal answers so I will ask them to discuss their lists with a partner. Then I will ask for some volunteers to share their classmates´ answers: Possible answers: This morning, I had the breakfast prepared by my mother Yesterday, I had the school uniform ironed by my eldest sister.
Once finished, sts will give the answer sheet back to his/her owner with the corrections done and a score provided using this technique of percentage: 8/8 (there are 8 blanks to be filled in). Only the 1st 2 exercises will be considered. Then I will collect the answer sheets and give them to the class teacher if she needs to check the students’ performance or a mark for the booklet (libreta de notas). T: How was your performance? Do you feel secure about this topic or do you feel you have to practice it a bit more? If so, which aspects? If sts come out with doubts about the topic I can prepare some extra exercises or another presentation as well. Transition: Very good! Let´s see if you know this word Presentation Activity 1: 15´ Purpose: to introduce the topic I have chosen the material from the st´s book as suggested by the teacher so as to work on material the sts already have. T: Ok sts. Have you ever heard the word Cosplay? Sts: No! If some sts answer affirmatively or they have a presupposition, I will tell them not to tell its meaning so as not to spoil the following activity and meanwhile confirm their idea. The purpose of the following activity is to arouse curiosity and interest and also for the students to activate previous knowledge, explore ideas and connect the senses with their thoughts as they are using the target language. I will take a poster with a huge X in the middle and there will be 4 questions in the poster, in the middle the word (cosplay) will be written as follows: It looks like… It sounds like… COSPLAY It feels like… I want to know… The questions will be covered (except the key word). I will deliver some post-its and 1 by one I will uncover the questions anticlockwise, starting by it feels like. I will give time in between for the sts to answer them on their post-its. Each answer should be on a different piece of paper. I will encourage them to do this activity in silence. Once the last question is uncovered, I will ask some volunteers to share their ideas. I will not ask each st because if not I will run out of time for the following activities. Possible answers: It feels like something durable, rough, irregular. It looks like a game. It sounds like a cough. I want to know its purpose, whatit is made of. While reading the answers aloud, each st is going to stand up and stick their post-its on the poster; each answer under each question.
Transition: Very good! Let´s find out what it is! Activity 2: 20´ Purpose: to set the context to introduce the target structure T: So open your course book at page 143. Have a look at the photograph and the title. What do you think cosplay can be related to? Sts: Dressing up! T: Ok, you are on the right track! So now, read the headline under the picture! 2 a : a head of a newspaper story or article usually printed in large type and giving the gist of the story or article that follows http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/headline In the photograph, it cannot be seen, but under the photograph there are 3 sentences summarizing the paragraph and giving the definition of cosplay. It says: Cosplay is short for costume play, one of the latest fashion crazes. It comes from Japan where people dress up as their favorite fantasy or science-fiction characters from Manga (Japanese comic books) and Anime (Japanese animated films). Our reporter Tamsin Harper meets some its British fans. Full Definition of HEADLINE Source: Spotlight to FCE by Alastair Lan; Cengage Learning; National Geographic Learning (2015). All the students have the book so the material for them is completely legible. I will give some minutes for the sts to scan the paragraph under the picture and check their predictions. T: What is the meaning of cosplay? Sts: To dress up in costumes. Full definition of COSPLAY short for 'costume play': an activity in which people dress up as characters from books or films, often acting out role plays. People who do this are called 'cosplayers', and the activity is called 'cosplaying' Full definition of CRAZE something that suddenly becomes very popular, but for only a short time craze for: the craze for Irish music http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/cosplay
T: What do you think “the cosplay craze” means? Sts: That they are crazy or very fan of dressing up! T: Yes, it means that it is popular but for a short time. T: So now, the article is divided into 7 paragraphs. I want you to get in 7 groups ( 5 groups of 3 and 1 group of 4). I´m going to give each group the number of the paragraph you have to work with. Then you have to summarize in no more than 2 sentences the main ideas of the passage. If there is a word you cannot grasp or understand its meaning from the context, take a dictionary from the locker. You have 2 minutes to do so. While sts are doing this activity I will walk around checking their analysis, prompting vocabulary, encouraging the use of correct expressions and checking they are summing up the main ideas as well. After that, I will ask the groups to share the aspects they had summarized from each paragraph. I will not devote too much time to the article itself because if not there won’t be enough time for the following activities relevant to the target structure that has to be taught. T: How about Argentina, is Cosplay popular? Why? Sts: No, I haven´t heard of it before. Transition: Let´s use all these information to refer to all this specifically! Development Activity 3: 10´ Purpose: to introduce the target structure T: So, we have been talking about Cospaly, have we talked about someone in particular? Sts: No! T: Therefore mainly we have talked about the action; we have focused on the action of dressing up. Do you remember what structure this is? Sts: Passive voice! T: Perfect! If I say (I will write these sentences on the board): People from different countries follow the cosplay craze. The cosplay craze is followed by people from different countries. T: Which are the verbs or verb phrases in the sentences? Sts: Follow and is followed. I will underline them. T: What is the difference between the 1st and the 2nd sentence? Sts: The 1st one is in the active voice and the 2nd one is in the passive. T: How is the passive formed? Sts: The verb “to be”, the past participle and “by”. I will write it on the board under the sentences like this: Subject + Verb “be” + past participle + (by someone) T: Perfect! Can we change the tense of the auxiliary be? Sts: Yes! T: According to what? Sts: According to the tense of the action. T: Do we always need to state the doer of the action? Sts: No! T: Exactly, can we choose to include the agent or doer of the action? Sts: no! T: We do not include it when it is not important or the agent is obvious. Can we use modals? Sts: Yes!
Transition: Let´s put all this information into practice Activity 4: 20´ Purpose: to use the target structure in a controlled context T: Open your book again at page 142 and do activities 5 and 6 that have to do with this topic. You have 5 minutes. In the 1st exercise, sts have to identify which sentence is active and which one passive. In the 2nd exercise, students have to identify the verb form of the given sentences and then complete the second sentence using a form of the passive.

Exercise 6 Source: Spotlight to FCE by Alastair Lan; Cengage Learning; National Geographic Learning (2015). Once all the sts have finished, we will check the sentences orally and if questions are raised I will foster the classmates to decide on the correct answer. I will monitor them. Transition: Pay attention. One last thing! T: As this is an important topic and it is going to be included in the FCE we have to know if you have it clear. So next class, you will have a quiz for you to know how well you know about this topic. Taller de Práctica Docente 2015 Tutora: Prof. Cecilia A. Zemborain Co- tutora: Prof. Graciela Inés Manzur Lesson Plans – Practicum – Third Period I.F.D.C. LenguasVivas ALUMNA PRACTICANTE: Paula Schulze Compañera que revisó el plan: Myriam Tielve Período de Práctica: Tercero – Nivel Secundario Institución Educativa: Colegio Bilingüe Neuquén Dirección:Los Álamos 700, Neuquén Sala/Grado/Año: 4to año Cantidad de alumnos: 19 Nivel Lingüístico del curso: Intermedio alto Tipo de Planificación: Clase Unidad Temática: Revisando Conocimientos / Desandando caminos recorridos Clase N°: 6 Fecha: 28/10/2015 Hora: 8:40 a 10:10 Duración de la clase: 80 minutos Fecha de la primera entrega: 24/10/15  Revising topics: reported speech and passive voice  Aims and goals:
During this lesson, learners will be able to…  Develop their listening and speaking skills by talking about different and diverse perspectives involved in the activities proposed in the stations.  Develop their reading skill by understanding the instructions to fulfill the tasks.  Use specific structures (passive voice and reported speech) to convey ideas more accurately.  Language focus: LEXIS FUNCTION STRUCTURES PRONUNCIATI ON REVISION Possible vocabulary that may appear: Die/dice To throw the dice - To show interest in sth. or someone that experiences the action rather than the performer of the action -To talk about what someone has said using different reporting verbs -To express and add information when required Changes that occur in tenses in passive voice People from different countries follow the cosplay craze. (active voice) The cosplay craze is followed by people from different countries. (passive voice) Changes that occur in pronouns tenses and time expressions in reported speech “Tomorrow, I will study”. He promised that he would study the following day. Recognition and use of the words /ˈdai/ die (n) / daɪs/ dice (plural) NEW Vocabulary: From the games, sts may not know some of these words: To be doomed to do sth To stuff To blow off To enjoin sb from sth Hemlock Recognition and use of the words /ɪnˈdʒɔɪn/ To enjoin  Teaching approach: The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, at times, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free-stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to revise the target structures. The Communicative Approach will also be used since the target structures will be revised from their communicative functions as well.  Integrating skills: during this class students will improve their listening skill while listening to the teacher and to their mates. At the same time, they will also develop their reading and speaking fluency sharing specific information, exchanging points of view and discussing at the time of achieving the games aims. Therefore the 4 macro skills will be integrated unconsciously while having fun.
Materials and resources: markers for the board- slips of paper with quotations and names of famous people, backshift charts (game 1) – my laptop – Board game on reported speech, copies with backshift changes, a die and 5 counters (game 2) – role-play cards(game 3) – cards (game 4) – printed instructions for each game – cell phone to check the time  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will not work with ICT support.  Seating arrangements: The students will move their desks and therefore change places to work in groups as required by the activities proposed.  Cooperative work: sts will work in groups to discuss, agree and check the different tasks to fulfill the games aims.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: in the first activity sts may have problems at the time of choosing the correct verb tense for the reporting sentence, I will suggest looking for the answer in the chart I gave them during my 2nd class. It was a class about tenses. Example: St1: “will have finished”, is it in the “would have finished”?  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it confusing how to play the game once they receive a new one. If so I will remind them that the instructions are written at the back of the games.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the different activities. Routine: 2´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will elicit the date from the sts and ask one of them to write it on the board and chat about their school- week and the radio program. Transition: What if I tell you the activities I have planned for today? Warm-up: Activity 1: 4´ Purpose: to uncover the reasons for learning passive voice and reported speech I have thought of starting with a short discussion/debate about the importance of the revision of the target structures because the activities that follow rely mainly on the sts´ autonomy and so I want to make it clear that they are having fun with the activities but mainly it is a challenge since they are constructing knowledge at their pace and for their self-awareness, profit, knowledge and interest. T: Do you remember that in the last class I told you to revise passive voice and reported speech? Why do you think so? What do you think was the purpose of it? Sts: They are included in the test. T: Yes, but why should they be learnt apart from the FCE? Sts: They are useful to speak! T: Sure! And it is mainly used in the written form. Besides you know that handling different structures or a proficient level of English helps you express your opinions, feelings, ideas in a clearer way, T: What about in the years to come? How can these structures help you at the university, for example? Sts: We can find a better job. At the university we can read from different sources, etc.
T: Ok. It is not just because of the test! So now that you understand their importance, who should “assess” your performance on those specific topics? Sts: You! T: Only me? Sts: And ourselves! T: Exactly! It is mainly you the ones who have to know how you can improve in the use of the language incorporating these new structures. I have thought of practicing these structures in an autonomous way, I mean you analyzing how well you are doing handling the structures. I have prepared 4 instances to check the structures; let´s consider them 4 self-assessment instances! Besides, you are going to work in groups so commit to the topic you have been given and concentrate you and your on that aim, ok? Transition: Now we are going to refresh the purpose of using each structure and their grammar pattern! Activity 2 (10´) Purpose: to recap on the usage and grammar patterns of the structures As the sts have already mentioned the usage and patterns of reported speech and passive voice, I will write them on the board so while they are playing the games, if in doubt they have a reliable source to check apart from their peers and teacher. T: Let´s start with reported speech. When do we use this structure? Sts: To report someone´s words T: Can you provide a sentence? Sts: Martin said that his weekend had been fantastic. T: OK. Which other verbs apart from tell and say can you use to report someone´s words? Sts: Exclaim, admit, and confess. T: When we report an utterance, what elements from the sentence change? Sts: Pronouns, time expressions, tense T: Very good! What about when reporting a question? Can you provide a question? Sts: How was your weekend? T: What aspect changes? Sts: We invert the subject and the verb. On the boar I will write: Reporting someone´s words “My weekend was fantastic” He exclaimed/admitted /confessed that his weekend had been fantastic. How was your weekend? He asked me how my weekend had been. T: Now, let´s pass on to the 2nd structure, passive voice. When do we use it? Sts: When we want to focus on the action more than the thing or person performing the action. T: Can you provide an example in the active voice so that then we turn it into the passive? Sts: The janitors /cleaning ladies cleaned the classroom windows this morning. T: Can you turn it into the passive? Sts: The classroom windows were cleaned by the janitors/ cleaning ladies this morning. T: Which is the grammar pattern of this structure? Sts: Subject + be + past participle and the doer T: Great! I will write this on the board: Passive Voice Active: The janitors /cleaning ladies cleaned the classroom windows this morning. Passive: The classroom windows were cleaned by the janitors/ cleaning ladies this morning. Subject + Verb “be” + past participle + (by someone) At first I thought of bringing 2 posters with these sentences already written but I think it is more profitable for the sts if they remember the patterns through my leading questions. Transition: Let´s have some fun!
Introduction Activity 1 (5´) Purpose: to give the instructions about the games/ stations T: Ok, please get in 3 groups of 5 (15) and 1 group of 4: 19 sts. Each group will receive an activity and you have 12 minutes to do it. Are you ready? Sts: Yes! I will explain all the activities that will be in each of the 4 stations and then I will visit each group again checking they have understood the instructions. I will try not to call them games but instead stations as I feel that if I call them games the sts will take the activities in a more relaxed way and with not so much commitment. Every 12 minutes I will tell the sts that the time is over and they should give their activity to the people on their right no matter in which stage of the activity they are. Each activity will be in a plastic bag. I think this way will be better than making the sts move, they will lose less time. Sources: As regards all the following games, I have relied on my classmates personal “game banks” (Myriam mainly) but I have adjusted all of them to make them suitable for this group´s needs and characteristics.
Transition: Very good! Let´s be the drivers/key players of your own learning experience! Development/ Practice Activity 1: 12´ Purpose: to report famous people´s words STATION 1: Famous Quotes Instructions: First, you have to match the quotes with the people you think said them. Secondly, you have to put them into indirect speech. Finally, you have to discuss with your partners whether you agree with the quotes and say why you do or you don´t. For the purpose of checking the correct answer 1 player at a time will have the chart with the backshift possibilities and after each correct answer the chart has to be given to the following player. a. Honoré de Balzac (writer) b. Bible (Saint Paul) c. Buddha d. Winston Churchill e. Albert Einstein f. Mahatma Gandhi g. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe h. Friedrich Nietzsche i. Mohammad j. Nelson Mandela 1. “When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute-and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity.” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 2. “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 3. “All greatness in the world came about because someone did more than he had to do.” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 4. “What we think, we become.” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 5. “I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 6. “Your god is dead and only the ignorant weep. And if you claim there is a hell, then we shall meet there” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 7. “It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to produce the occasional clever remark” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 8. “Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________ 9. “God enjoins you to treat women well, for they are your mothers, daughters, aunts” _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 10. Be not righteous overmuch! _________________________________________________________________ The key will not be provided to the sts until the matching has been done. Famous Quotes (KEY) 1) e 2) d 3) g 4) c 5) f 6) h 7) a 8) j 9) i 10) b As the key to the quotations, I will provide the sts with the charts with the “backshifts” of tenses and time expressions shown below, under Station 2 . The quotations and the names will be on slips of paper in 2 different plastic bags to make it easier for the sts to do the matching and besides in this way they do not have to write anything. Instructions will be written on a slip of paper. Activity 2 (12´) Purpose: to report someone’s words In this activity sts have to report not only sentences but also questions and commands. I will provide 5 counters and a die. STATION 2: the Reported Speech board game Instructions: The first player has to roll the die and move the counter. Then he/she has to turn to indirect speech the utterance where they land. If they answer correctly they stay in that place if not they move backwards to the place where they were. For the purpose of checking the correct answer 1 player at a time will have the chart with the backshift possibilities and after each correct answer the chart has to be given to the following player. Have fun!  These instructions will be written on the other side of the board game. Below, there are the charts with examples of the backshifts used in reported speech. One st at a time will have it to check his /her classmates´ performance.

Cecilia: this board game does not appear so neatly and on 1 page here but I have it in another document and it is ok. I´m planning to ask at the photocopy shop to print it on 1 sheet of paper bigger than the “oficio” one. I think it is A3. Activity 3 (12´) Purpose: to change the focus of the attention STATION 3: BLAME SOMEONE ELSE! Instructions: This is a role-play to practice the passive voice (either past simple passive or present perfect passive). You have to choose a pair: Mother/father vs. son/daughter Boss – employee Teacher – pupil Then, for example, Student A plays the role of an infuriated parent, boss or teacher and student B is the delinquent son/ employee or pupil who has to think of excuses. Example: Student A: "Was it you who spilt the coffee?" Student B: "No, mum, honestly, it was spilt by our cat when it was chasing a fly". Use your imagination and have fun! These instructions will be written on a slip of paper for the sts have it clear what they have to do in this station and have a first example as a guide. Mother/ father Somebody broke your tablet Somebody let your pet bird out of cage Somebody scribbled on the wallpaper Somebody spilt cola on the sofa Somebody used your make-up/ shaving kit You suspect your naughty child. Make him/her confess. Son/ daughter You broke your parent’s tablet You let your pet bird out of cage You scribbled on the wallpaper You spilt cola on the sofa You used your parent’s make-up/ shaving kit But you shouldn’t confess! Try to make your parent believe it was done by somebody else. Boss Somebody searched through your things Employee You searched through your boss’s things

Try to make your boss believe it was done by somebody else. Teacher Somebody put the drawing-pin on you chair Somebody took the markers Somebody wrote in the class journal Somebody wrote a bad word on the board Somebody sent you a mocking love-note You suspect your worst pupil. Make him/her confess Pupil You put the drawing-pin on your teacher’s chair You took the markers You wrote in the class journal You wrote a bad word on the board You sent your teacher a mocking love-note But you shouldn’t confess! Try to make your teacher believe it was done by somebody else. Source: Original idea adapted by me for pedagogical reasons Activity 4 (12´) Purpose: to elaborate sentences into the passive voice and guess the answers. STATION 4: Change or guess and score a point!  Instructions: It is a game to practice passive structures. Cards will be distributed among the students. If they get a card with isolated words they have to create a sentence using the words given (in passive) to give some kind of hint to his/her peers. For example: Student A: Facebook was invented by him. Student B: Mark Zuckerberg invented facebook! The rest of the ss need to guess what/who it is. The right answers are given in brackets. If the player just has a sentence in the card, he/she has to turn it to the passive voice. If the player gets the correct answers, she/he gets 1 point and the following student starts.
Change or guess and score a point!  Printing/invent (Gutenberg) Light bulb/invent (Thomas Alva Edison) America/discover (Columbus) Penicilin/discover (Alexander Fleming) Windows/make (glass) Tables/make (wood) Language/speak in Russia (Russian) Language/speak in Hungary (Hungarian) Wedding ring/make (gold) Clothes/make (cotton) Harry Potter/write (JK Rowling) Star Wars/direct (George Lucas)

Closure Activity 1 (5´) Purpose: to analyse all what was done in this class and in the previous five classes
T: Well tell me which was the easiest activity? And the funniest one? Sts: The first one was difficult. The one about blaming someone was funny! T: Well, you know this is my last class so first of all I would like to thank Miss Valeria and her company and then you for your patience but specially your hard work. So I have brought sth sweet to share. I will deliver some bono-bons. And now, let´s have a round of applause to all of us!  Have an excellent performance in the FCE!
Pictures used during the warm-up stage Signs with names on.
1. What aspects of the lesson do you consider successful? In this opportunity, the time management was almost perfect as well as the pace of the activities. There were no behavioral problems at all, that is something I always worry about. Besides, there was little talking in Spanish, the expected one, we can say. At the very beginning of the lesson I told the students to write their names on signs. I had already asked the teacher how they liked to be called. And something funny happened: One of the students wrote Alberto on the sign but I knew he liked to be called Abi so I did so. By the middle of the class, apparently he could not hold his intrigue anymore and asked me how I had known his nickname was Abi!

    Taller de PrácticaDocente 2015 Tutora: Prof. Cecilia A. Zemborain Co- tutora:Prof. Graciela Inés Manzur Lesson Plans – Practicum – Third Period I.F.D.C. LenguasVivas ALUMNA PRACTICANTE: Paula Schulze Compañera que revisó el plan: Myriam Tielve Período de Práctica: Tercero – Nivel Secundario Institución Educativa: Colegio Bilingüe Neuquén Dirección:Los Álamos 700, Neuquén Sala/Grado/Año: 4to año Cantidad de alumnos: 19 Nivel Lingüístico del curso: Intermedio alto Tipo de Planificación: Clase UnidadTemática: Naturaleza y Energía Clase N°: 1 Fecha: 27/09/2015 Hora: 11 – 12.20 Duración de la clase: 80 minutos Fecha de la primera entrega: 16/09/2015  Teaching Points: Definite article Revising tenses: Simple present, present continuous, simple past, past continuous, past perfect, present perfect, present perfect continuous, future will and going to, future progressive (affirmative, interrogative, negative forms) before introducing the next teaching topic that is Reported speech  Aims and goals: During this lesson, learners will be able to…  Develop their listening and speaking skills by talking about their language learning process.  Develop their writing skill by writing sentences related to their experience with the language.  Develop their oral production to talk about their learning experience of the target language.  Develop the acquisition of instances in which the definite article has to be used  Language focus: LEXIS FUNCTION STRUCTURES PRONUNCIATION REVISION Native speaker Identifying and naming different tenses Different tense forms Wh questions and Yes/No questions using different Recognition and use of the sounds /ði/ in the when pronounced in a stressed position /ðə/ in the when

    tenses pronounced ina unstressed position NEW Actions: To sit for an exam Talking about the uses of the definite article Recognition and use of the word /sə(r)ˈtɪfɪkət/ in certificate  Teaching approach: The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free- stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.  Integrating skills: during this class students will develop their listening skill while listening to the teacher and to their mates. They will also integrate reading and writing when they are asked to write sentences about their language learning process and then read them aloud. Their conceptual thinking will also be developed while analyzing the uses of the definite article.  Materials and resources:copies on tenses and sentences- posters with triggering questions - markers for the board  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will not work with ICT support.  Seating arrangements: The students will be sitting in lines of 4 or 5 desks. It must be said that each student has a favorite place within the class. As for this first class, there will not be changes in the sitting arrangement.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to discuss about the forms, functions and example of given sentences in order to complete a chart.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: as it is the first class I will give to the sts, I hope I will manage to do all the activities planned. Either the sts may feel shy with the new teacher or relaxed and so they may take their time to work. So I will be checking time during the whole class. Because of the free conversation that will take place, I will also be ready to provide vocabulary on demand. I will carry my “little super dictionary” in case there is a word I do not.
  • 3.
    If the definitionis not provided either I will ask the sts to search on their cell phones, or I will write the word down to bring the answer on the following class. I´m also worried about the balance I have to reach in my classes between the communicative and the training abilities they must acquire for the FCE.  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it difficult to complete the tenses chart. If that is the case I will prompt or model the answers.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities. Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will greet the sts, ask them how they feel and then I will tell them again what will be my role in the classes to come (the teacher, Miss Valeria, had already introduced me when I went to observe the class for the 1st time). At that time students were told that they had been selected for their positive and working attitude as well as for their handling of the target language.  I will write the date on the blackboard (this is the teacher´s routine so I will stick to it) if the previous teacher hasn´t done it yet. All the teachers in the school are supposed to write the date in English although his/ her subject may not be that one. Transition: Let´s get ready to talk about ourselves and our relationship with the English language. Warm up: 15´ Purpose: to recall previous knowledge about individual English learning experiences and set the context. T: ok sts. You are going to divide into 4 groups of 4 (16 sts ) and 1 group of 3 students. On each wall of the classroom I´m going to display some questions about you and the language and I want you stand up, visit one poster at a time and discuss the questions with the members of your group. When I tell you, you have to move to the next poster please. I will give them 2 minutes in each post. The questions and the posters will be numbered because of the retelling activity later, I think, this will help. I´m going to display these questions; the tenses are not going to be included. Before starting the activity I´m also going to remind sts to speak L2. POSTER 1 1. Do you study English every day? (simple present)Does anyone in your class study English every day? Why/Why not? How? 2. Are you thinking in English now? Why? Why not? POSTER 2 3. What part of your brain do you think is working? (present continuous) 4. Have you ever studied English abroad? (Present perfect) 5. Have you been training hard for the FCE? (present perfect continuous) POSTER 3 6. Are you going to sit for the FCE? Why? /why not?(future tense- going to) 7. What do you think we will learn today? (future – will) POSTER 4 8. In 2 months you are finishing the school year. Do you think you will have done your best as regards English? How? (Future perfect)
  • 4.
    9. How longapproximately will you have been speaking in English by the end of this morning? Is it too much? And by the end of the school-week, how long will you have been speaking English?(future progressive) POSTER 5 10. Were you speaking in English while I was writing the date? (past continuous) 11. Did you have a native teacher? Who? Where? What was he/she like? (simple past) 12. In 2013 some of you sat for the PET exam. Had you done a previous test to that one? Which one? Why not? (past perfect) GREEN = PRESENT tenses BLUE = future tenses RED = past tenses While students are answering the questions, I will walk around paying attention more on the content of what is being answered than on the tense the sts are using unless there is a communication break or misunderstanding in, in that case I will prompt or provide some words, expressions or tenses. Once the sts have visited all the posters, I’ll ask them to go back to their places. Transition: very good! You have sort of flown over your English learning experience! Why don´t we listen to some of your answers? Communicative Activity: 10´ Purpose: to express sts´experiences of the target language I will take the 5 posters to the front and I will stick them on the board. T: so, who would like to share the answer for question number 1? While sts are sharing their answers with the whole class, I will encourage the sts to use the tenses used in each question.I will also prompt or provide words on demand. Transition: great! Let´s concentrate on a different aspect of the language! Activity 1:20´ Purpose: to recall previous knowledge about tenses T: So let´s have a look at the different posters again but now concentrate on the tenses of the questions. Do they refer to past, present or future aspects of your language learning development? Sts: All of them! T: Great! So which poster refers to past experiences? Sts:Poster 5 T:Which poster refers to present experiences? Sts:Posters 1 and 2 T: Finally, which poster refers to future experiences? Sts: Posters 3 and 4 T: Awesome! Then, I will deliver some copies and I will ask the sts to complete the following chart in pairs; the examples they provide must be their personal answers of the questions on the posters. T: Ok, let´s get down to business and complete the chart in pairs! I will provide some information that will be in the copy in bold as shown below.
  • 5.
    I think thiswill lead and motivate the sts to complete the chart in a more dynamic or attractive way. In some cases, I have also provided the answers for 2 of the slots to be filled in, in this way I believe the sts will not be that confused or lost. While sts are completing the chart, I will walk around, checking understanding, exemplifying or explaining doubts. TENSES: Complete the information that is missing about the main tenses in English: Tense: Form: 3rd person: “S” Usage(s): Example: Tense: Form: Usage: action taking place at the moment of speaking Example: Tense: Form: have/has + past participle Usage: Example: Tense Form: Usage: putting emphasis on the course or duration (not the result) Example: I have been training hard for the FCE.

    After sts havecompleted the chart, I will ask some volunteers to tell the sections they have completed. Transition: Excellent! How about connecting your language processes with the brain specifically! Presentation Activity 1: 15´ Purpose: to set the context and introduce the target structure I will clean the board from the posters and I will deliver another copy with these sentences. Then I will ask them to think about these assertions. 1. One of the most significant changes affecting the English language over the last 10 years is the growing presence of spoken forms while many less examples of the written forms. 2. The scientists have developed procedures to understand the way the human brain works. 3. Considerable progress has been made over the last decade toward improved techniques to study the human brain and how it works while learning. 4. The revolution of this study area has become especially appealing for educators as well as others professionals. 5. The most relevant aspect about the brain and its functioning is that almost everything is under scrutiny to scientists in different fields. 6. The head of the neuroscience department, Dr Grace said that we are still far from understanding the functions of the brain circuits yet. Source: I have invented most of the sentences although I have helped myself with the corpora: http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/x.asp?r1=&w=1093&h=614 T: Did you know about them? Sts: I knew the scientists are studying the brain in deep. T: Great, it´s true! Notice that I have underlined some of the phrases in these assertions. Can you guess why? Why are they important? Sts: They have the article/ word “the”. They talk about something specific. T: yes, all these sentences refer to the brain, the language, specific scientists, they refer to something specific or unique. That is why we talk about the “definite article”. So, I want you to open your book at page 125, exercise 5 and there you have the explanation of the use of the definite article. Please, individually match the explanations, that is to say sentences a to g, with the sentences I have just given you.

Some titles that include “of” Next, we will check the sentences with their explanations orally and I will provide feedback if needed. Transition: let´s do the last activity! Activity 2: 15´ Purpose: to use the target structure in a less controlled context and in meaningful sentences. I will ask the sts to do the activity they have in their book (page 125, Ex 5) but completing the sentences with information about their own. T: Ok now, I would like you to match the explanations with the example but providing them in complete sentences and related to the topic of education, learning, the brain, etc. in pairs. I will provide an example: In reference to the nationalities you can say: The British are learning the consequences of drug abuse in elder people. While the sts are writing the sentences, I will walk around checking understanding, spelling, prompting possibilities, etc. Once they have finished I will ask some volunteers to read some sentences aloud. Finally, I’m going to inform the sts about the homework for the following week (short story). Transition: you have learned a lot! Now put your belongings away and let´s go to the break! See you next week! Homework: This is the 2nd day after a week without classes. So sts are coming back to rhythm little by little. On the other hand, teachers are slowly gearing up for the last two months of classes and particularly these sts for the FCE. So quite in advance,I will ask them to start reading (for Wednesday the 7th ) the short story Same Time, Same Place by Bates; they have it in their book "From the Cradle to the Grave" by Oxford Bookworms Collection.

Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free- stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.  Integrating skills: during this class students will integrate their speaking and listening skills to improve their aural comprehension and production. They will also integrate reading and writing when they are asked to write a dialogue and then read it aloud. Their conceptual thinking will also be developed while analyzing the uses of the reported speech.  Materials and resources: copies – OHP – colored copies of famous people - markers for the board, my laptop  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson the OHP will be used to support visual stimulus for discussion and for the students to invent a dialogue.  Seating arrangements: The students will get in groups of 4 for the 1st and last activities. In between they will work in pairs as well.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to consider perspectives about latest pieces of news and about the content of the dialogues they will invent and they will agree on how to transfer a direct speech dialogue into an indirect speech paragraph. Besides, they will have to consider which reporting verbs to include.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: I will carry my dictionary as in the previous class. I have focused on the main aspects of reported speech so reporting questions or instances in which reported speech do not occur have been left aside.  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it difficult to turn the dialogue into reported speech if this is the case I will prompt or model the answers. I will also encourage the sts to have the grammar charts at hand.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities.

    Routine: 5´ Purpose: togreet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will write the date on the blackboard (this is the teacher´s routine so I will stick to it) once I have elicited it from sts. Transition: let´s get ready to talk about the latest news! Warm up: 10´ Purpose: to recall previous knowledge about latest news in the media and set the context T: Ok sts! You are going to look at some pictures and I would like you to think or remember why they were relevant during this year. Why were they in the headlines? Then I will show the pictures with the Power Point program and the help of an OHP. In case of no electricity, I will carry the 4 pictures printed in colors and in office size (full-frame pictures). If I have to use the printed pictures, I will stick them on the board. T: Now, I want you to get in pairs and talk about each picture and its relevance to the world or to the country. Before starting the activity I´m also going to remind sts to speak L2.
  • 12.
    Source:Google images During thisand the following exercise, I’m going to take notes of exact sentences that some sts use. While students are answering the questions, I will walk around paying attention more on the content of what is being answered than on the structures the sts are using unless there is a communication breakdown or misunderstanding in the communication, in that case I will prompt or provide some words, expressions or tenses. T: Now, tell me who are the characters in each picture?In picture 1? Sts: The Serbian boy and the policeman who rescued him T: In the 2nd picture? Sts: Macri, Massa and Scioli T: What about picture 3? Sts: The football players from River (I´m sure the sts will know their names) T: And in the last picture? Sts: The Pope T: Can you tell me why have they been in the headlines lately? Once the sts have expressed and shared their perspectives I will say: Transition: very good! What if we invite them to talk?
  • 13.
    Presentation Activity 1: 15´ Purpose:to invent dialogues to set the context for the teaching structure T: Please, I would like you to get in groups (3 groups of 4 members and 1 of 5) and invent 1 dialogue using the characters from the photographs. It must be just a 6 line-dialogue, no longer than that and you must write it in an extra sheet of paper. For example: the pope with the Turkish policeman or the football player with Macri. As mentioned above, while students are inventing the dialogue, I will walk around paying attention more on the content of what is being said than on the structures the sts are using unless there is a communication break or misunderstanding in the communication, in that case I will prompt or provide some words or expressions. Once sts have finished, I will invite 2 members of each group to stand up and role-play the dialogues. T: Now, 2 members from each group are going to role-play the dialogues and the others must try to remember what the classmates have just said. It is a memory game, ok? You have to take notes! Sts will role-play the 4 dialogues. I will check meaning and vocabulary. If necessary, I will prompt or provide specific words, synonyms, expressions. Transition: great! Remember the dialogues but now let´s concentrate on a different aspect! Activity 2: 15´ Purpose: to introduce ways of reporting someone´s words T: So, let´s imagine you have to report the dialogues we have heard. Can you remember every word, expression? Sts: No! T: No. If the sentences are short probably you can report them accurately if not you report the ideas mainly, only the main ideas. Let´s see how you can report the ideas. Look at these sentences. At this point I’m going to write the sentences I have been writing down. I´m going to write them between inverted commas for the sts to see they were their actual words, but I will also have some sentences ready in case I have no time to take notes. The verbs are not going to be underlined. “The drowned Serbian boy died last August” (Agustin) “The Pope has visited 9 countries so far” ( Lara) “I´m sure one day I will meet the River football players” (Francisco) T: Why have I used quotation marks? Sts: Because they are the exact words they said. T: Great! So let´s look at same basic and very easy ways to report the sentences: you change the tense of the verb, we sometimes call it the “backshift”, do you understand what it means? Sts: To move backwards T: Yes! So look at the 1st sentence, which is the verb? Sts: Died! T: Yes. What tense is it? Sts: Past tense T: Which tense is back in time? Sts: Past perfect T: Awesome! So we say: Santiago said that the Serbian boy had died. I will write this on the board next to the sentence. T. But it says “last August”, how can we report this structure? If sts do not remember I will provide the 2nd chart below for them to have it as a guide.
  • 14.
    Sts: The previousAugust. So we say: Santiago said that the Serbian boy had died the previous August. I will complete the sentence on the board. T: Perfect! Now, who would like to do the 2nd sentence? St 1: Lara said the Pope had visited 9 countries so far. T: Excellent! And the last one? Can anyone try? If there are no volunteers, I will provide the following copy for the sts to use as a guide. I will give them time to read through the notes and I will ask again for the last sentence. St 2: Francisco said he was sure he would meet the River football player same day. T: Does the pronoun “I” of the original sentence remains the same? Sts: No, it changes to “he”. T: Ok so, so far, what aspects change from direct speech to indirect speech? Sts: Pronouns, tenses, modals and time phrases.

    Source:http://teacherpatriciomaureira.blogspot.com.ar/ Transition: Excellent! Howabout adding something else to these lists? Activity 3: 10´ Purpose: to brainstorm and teach reporting verbs T: If we want to report someone´s words we cannot be repeating: Francisco said this, he said that, he told us this, etc. so as not to bore the listener, do you remember which other verbs we can use? Sts: Exclaimed, answered, claimed! T: Perfect! I´m going to give you some other reporting verbs but you have to find the pairs with similar meanings and find their differences in formality. Work with your partner. I´m going to deliver the following copy: A B admit inform remember presume tell confess insist recollect assume maintain Source: I have designed it using different grammar books I have at home KEY: A B admit confess remember recollect tell inform insist maintain assume presume Before the sts complete the chart, I will check if they understand mainly: Presume, recollect, maintain and assume. T: Do you understand the meaning of presume? St: It is to imagine or guess. T: Ok, what about recollect? Sts: It is the synonym of remember.
  • 16.
    T: Or recallor think back. Very good! And maintain what´s the meaning of this verb in this context? Probably this word is not well known for the sts so I will explain its meaning like this: T: It means to claim, to assert. So you can say, The accused maintained he was innocent. Then I will give the sts some minutes to complete the chart. T: Now, who can read the pairs? After checking the answers I will ask about the formality of the verbs. T: Which are more formal? Sts: The ones in column B. T: Yes! But let´s leave this chart open in case other verbs appear! Transition: let´s see how much you brain can remember! Activity 4: 15´ Purpose: to use the target structure in a less controlled and meaningful context. T: Now, working in the same group you were before, you have to try to report one of your classmates´ dialogues. You have to use as many reporting verbs as you can. Don´t forget to resort to the notes you took and the copies I have given you! While the sts are writing the dialogues, I will walk around checking understanding, use of reporting speech and verbs, prompting possibilities, etc. Once they have finished I will ask some volunteers to read the 5 dialogues aloud. Transition: Excellent! Let´s do the last activity! Activity 5: 10´ Purpose: to recall the theory the sts have seen in this class while using the definite article T: Working in the same group I want you to write 2 golden rules specific about reported speech. Choose 2 of these expressions to write the rules: I will write these opening expressions on the board:  The tenses, time phrases, pronouns are ……  The verb(s)……  The reporting verb(s)…… The different groups will read out their golden rules and if there is time I or a volunteer will write them on the board (or on a poster “cartulina” to leave it in the classroom) like this: Rule # 1: Rule # 2: Rule # 3, etc. Then I will tell them about the next-class quiz. T: As you have just summarized in these 3 golden rules, you have learned a lot today so I think it will be good for you to go over this topic at home and so next class we are going to have a quiz. So you can check how is your learning process going on, consider it a self-evaluation. And don´t forget to read the story “Same place, same time” and bring the mate and cookies! When sts have the “literature morning” they bring “los mates” and some cookies to share while working on the story of the day. I will also tell the sts what will be quiz about and ask for queries.

Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, at times, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free-stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.  Integrating skills: during this class students will develop their listening skill while listening to the teacher and to their mates. They will also integrate reading and writing when they are asked to write sentences based on facts from the story and then read them aloud. Different learning styles are also taken into account when including a listening activity for auditory learners and a concept map for visual and logical students.  Materials and resources: story handout – cd player – cd- markers for the board- copies – slips of paper – my laptop  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will work with ICT support to assess sts´ listening skill during the quiz.  Seating arrangements: The students will be sitting in lines of 4 or 5 desks but at times they will move places to work in groups or pairs as requested by the activity proposed.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to discuss and agree on the main features or main similarities between the main characters of the story.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: in the last activity sts may include questions that later on have to be reported by peers, as this hasn´t been taught yet, I will prompt the possibilities. Example:
  • 19.
    St1 why didyou leave? Where do you live? T: he asked her why she had left or where she lived  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it difficult to understand the ending of the story; in this case I will lead the sts with open questions for their comprehension and production stages.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities. Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will ask the sts the date and write it on the blackboard (this is the teacher´s routine so I will stick to it). Transition: How if we have the quiz on reported speech first and then we plunge into the short story? Activity 1: 15´ Purpose: to introduce a context while listening to a journalist´s report for sts´ self-assessment on reported speech. I have chosen the material from the st´s book as suggested by the teacher so as to work on material the sts already have. T: Ok sts. You are going to listen to a journalist reporting on a problem in education. While doing so, you have to complete a gapped text and then do 3 exercises on reported speech. I´m going to play the CD twice. The answers must be on an extra sheet of paper and don’t forget to write down your names and use legible handwriting. So open your book at page 131 and go to exercise 7. What shall we do 1st with the text? Sts: read it through T: Great! You will have a quick look and try to predict the words that may go in the gaps. I will give you some minutes for you to do so before the 1st listening. In case of electricity problems, I will read the script of the interview changing tones of voice while reading the different characters’ words.

    Source:SpotlighttoFCE byAlastairLan; CengageLearning;National GeographicLearning(2015). KEY: Exercises 8,9 and 10 T: Ok, now I want you to exchange the answer sheet with your nearby classmate to do peer- correction. Once you have your classmate´s sheet of paper, have a look at his/her answers. Is there anything you do not understand? This is the time to ask. I will give the sts some time to do this. I will do so in order to have objective or accurate corrections. T: So now, let´s check the answers together. Take a color pen or pencil to write the ticks or corrections if needed. T: Who can read the article with the missing information? Then T and sts will check the answers orally. Once finished, sts will give the answer sheet back to his/her owner with the corrections done and a score provided using this technique of percentage: 21/21 (there are 21 blanks to be filled in). Then I will collect the answer sheets and give them to the class teacher. T: How was your performance? Do you feel secure about this topic or do you feel you have to practice it a bit more? If so, which aspects? If sts come out with doubts about the topic I can prepare some extra exercises or another presentation as well. Transition: Very good! Talking about speech, how if we see what the story´s characters have to tell us?
  • 22.
    Activity 1: 5´ Purpose:to introduce a 1st discussion about the short story T: Please, would you take the short story Same Time, Same Place by Bates? (sts have it in their book "From the Cradle to the Grave" by Oxford Bookworms Collection. A copy is included below). And get ready to indulge yourself in some “mates” and some cookies! Now, throughout some comprehension questions I would like to get the sts hooked on the story´s analysis. T: How did you like the story? St 1: I liked it very much although there are only 2 main characters. T: Yes! Do you remember their names? Sts: Miss Doris Treadwell and Harry Mr. Thornhill. T: Do you understand the meanings of “tread” and “thorn”? Sts: A step and a spine T: Ok so, do these names have any reference to the story? What is the possible relation of their names and their relation? How are their names related to their relations? Sts: Yes, because she was sure about her lifestyle and he appeared in her life as a spine. T: Yes, and he became a thorn in her flesh. (I will write the expression on the board). Do you agree? Sts: Yes! T: Do you think the main character was happy or wanted to believe she was happy? Sts: She was really happy and the presence of Mr. Thornhill disturbed that happiness. T: How old is Miss Treadwell? Sts: She is in her late fifties. T: Do you think she had ever been married? Why? Sts: Probably she had been because she was not afraid of sitting next to Mr. Thornhill the 1st time she saw him in the park. Transition: let´s see how the author describes the characters’ personalities! Activity 2: 15´ Purpose: to introduce and analyze in context the language used by the author T: I will deliver a photocopy with vocabulary or expressions from the short story. You have to get in pairs and find these expressions in the story. Then rephrase them in your own words. The purpose of the activity is to focus on particular features of the language, its use and meaning. I have selected the phrases I think will better help the sts to analyze the characters’ attitudes or personalities. I will not include the definitions in the sts´ copies. 1. To keep up appearances =to pretend that everything is good,for example with your marriage or your financial situation,even though you are having problems 2. A rummage sale = (Am E) an event where people raise moneyby selling old clothes and other things that you no longer want, sold to raise money.The British word is jumble sale. 3. To fall to pieces =to be in a very bad condition because ofbeing old or badly made 4. A mere kennel 7 feet by 10 = very small building where a dog sleeps 5. By Jove! =used for emphasizing whatyou are saying or for expressing surprise 6. With considerable diffidence = not confident or shy 7. To look after someone /something = to take care of someone or something and make certain that they have everything they need 8. At dead on twelve = at exactly 12 p.m. 9. To do sth like fury = to do something with a lot of energy and determination 10. To draw someone´s pension = to receive money regularly after he/she has stopped working because oftheir age,paid either by their companyor by the government 11. To hiss at each other = to complain in a softvoice
  • 23.
    12. To struggleto do sth. = to try hard to do something thatyou find very difficult Source: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/ Once the sts have finished we will discuss the meaning of those given expressions in relation to the context given in the story. We will not analyze the characters yet. Transition: Let´s use all these expressions to describe the singular main characters! Activity 3: 20´ Purpose: to compare and contrast the main characters of the story I will prepare some signs (similar to the one sts use to write their names) with a number on them, from 1 to 6 so as to organize the following activity. T: I will name the sts to get in 5 groups of 3 and 1 of 4 members (there will be 6 groups); you will have to complete the following concept map, but:  2 groups will describe Miss Doris Treadwell, GROUPS 1&2  2 groups will describe Mr. Harry Thornhill GROUPS 5&6  2 groups will describe the similarities and differences between both characters. GROUPS 3&4 GROUPS 1&2 GROUPS 3&4 GROUPS 5&6 CHARCATERISTICS SIMILARITIES OR CHARCATERISTICS DIFFERENCES T: In all cases, the descriptions must be only supported trough the evidence you have in your story, no presuppositions or feelings you have towards them; only facts. Remember you can take the dictionaries if you want. Sts have a locker in their classroom with all their English-English dictionaries in and they take them when in need. T: What concrete aspects can we take into account to compare or contrast them? Sts: Appearances, habits, apartments, their exact words or thoughts. T: Perfect! Get down to business! While sts are doing this activity I will walk around checking their analysis, prompting vocabulary, encouraging the use of the new expressions and checking they are supporting their choices on facts. After that, I will ask the groups to share the aspects they had examined. The others will have to complete the concept map while listening to their classmates. The 2nd group will also be asked to pay attention to the facts the 1st group lists so as not to repeat given information. I have chosen this way because if sts fill in the whole chart directly, at the time of the retelling they do not pay attention to their peers because they have already answered or covered all the stages of the map. In this way they will have only 1 section of the concept map completed therefore they will have to pay attention to their peers’ retelling. Miss Treadwell Mr. Thornhill
  • 24.
    Once they havefinished, I will ask the sts: T: Now, groups 1 and 2 can you describe Miss Treadwell’s point of view about the situation? T: Groups 5 and 6, Can you describe the situation from Mr. Thornhill´s point of view? T: Who would like to come to the front to perform the role of the main characters? T: And finally what aspects do they share to become a stable and happy couple and which ones they don´t. Transition: Great! Let´s do the last activity using our imagination! Activity 4: 20´ Purpose: to retell a possible dialogue T: So let´s imagine the main characters meet by chance 6 months later. What do they say to each other? I´m going to give you slips of paper and you are going to write on them only 1 sentence with a possible expression, comment or complain they could have said. Next, I´m going to put all the slips of paper in a bag and mix them up. After that, I will take one slip at a time and I will ask for volunteers to turn those sentences into reported speech. This will give the sts the opportunity to use the reported speech “backshifts”. Transition: you have learned a lot today so no homework to be done! Now put your belongings away and let´s go to the break! See you next week! Same Time, Same Place By H. E. BATES "From the Cradle to the Grave" by Oxford Bookworms Collection ONE had tokeepup appearances, Miss Treadwellalways told herself. Whatever else happened, one simply had to keep up appearances. After all, one had one's pride. The sepia musquash coat she always worethroughoutthe winter had not only the advantageof keeping her warmand making her look almost upper middle class but of also concealing the fact that underneath it she worea man's woolen cardigan and a brown imitation leather waistcoatpicked up for a shilling at a rummage sale. Underneath these garments her corsets had so far fallen topieces that every now and then she padded them with folds of newspaper. If thesefailed to give her buxombut not too ample figurethe distinguished and elegant line shesaw so often in advertisements, they at least werewarmtoo and cheap and comforting. Aboveall, they helped to keep up appearances. Miss Treadwell, who was in her late fifties, was apt to refer to her minute bed- sitter, a mere kennel sevenfeet by ten, as "my little domain," though if occasion demanded she might enlarge a little on that, calling it "my apartment." A divan bed, a chair, a table, and a sink left no roomwhatever for a cooker, though this hardly mattered, since shenever cooked except to make toast over a gas ring. Her diet consisted mostly, except on Sundays, of bread, margarine, and tea, though even this, for various reasons, shehad only occasional!} at home. EVERY MORNING, atabout eleven o'clock, she went out and saton one of the seats in the public gardens. Onedidn't have to wait long there before someonedropped a newspaper into a litter basket, so that one got the news of the day for nothing besides a new padding for the corsets when necessary. After reading for another half hour Miss Treadwell went into a small cafe around the corner and had her lunch. This too consisted of a bread roll, margarine, and a pot of tea. It was mostimportant always to order a pot of tea, since in this way one got a small bowlof cube sugar, mostof which was easily slipped into a handbag. Itwas also important to select a
  • 25.
    table wheresomeone elsehad recently been eating. In this way one quite often found two or three pennies or even sixpence left under a plate and uncollected by a busy waitress. After lunch she always wentback to the gardens to visit the Public Ladies. Itwas quite extraordinary what one sometimes found in the Public Ladies. Frequently someonehad forgotten a lipstick, a powder compact, a comb, a box of eye shadow. OnceMiss Treadwell had actually found a small handbag containing, among other things, a bottle of peroxide. With the use of this she suddenly went sensationally and almost youthfully blonde, thus keeping up appearances dramatically. She had learned other tricks by experience: for example, that late on Saturday afternoons onecould buy, for a few pence, bags of unsold cakes that wouldn'tkeep in the shops until Monday, or bags of broken biscuits that made a delicious Sunday treat if you put them in a bowland poured a layer of thin hot chocolate over them. There were also flowers: sometimes as you walked through the street marketyou came across a whole box of them, daffodils or roses or carnations or gladioli, that had dropped froma truck and nobody had ever bothered to pick up. A few swiftly snatched-up stalks turned the bed-sitter into a little paradise. SOONAFTERthe incident of the peroxide that had turned her a light youthful blonde and helped to keep up her appearances so dramatically, shewas sitting in the public gardens on an April morning. The day was suddenly and unusually hot; tulips that had been mere half-green buds the day before werenow becoming, every moment, moreand more like shimmering open wineglasses of pink and scarlet and yellow; an occasionalwhite or yellow butterfly skimmed through the many wide yellow trumpets of daffodils under trembling pink canopies of cherry blossom. Allthe many seats in the gardens werecrowded. Itwas very much a morning when appearances mattered. The only place she could find to sit down was next to a gentleman who, because of the sudden April heat, had taken off his black homburg and laid it on the seat beside him. As Miss Treadwell approached he removed the hat and balanced it on his knee. His hair was a smooth iron gray. This alone would not have confirmed him as a gentleman, but the homburg hat most certainly did. Men who wore homburgs werealways gentlemen. Alter studying his newspaper in concentrated silence for another five minutes, he folded it up and laid that too on the seat beside him. Unwilling to appeal- too eager, Miss Treadwell waited some further minutes before saying: "I hopeyou won't think me rude, l)iit 1 wonder—could I take a tiny glance at your newspaper? I couldn'tget one this morning." "Ob, by all means. By all means. Take it, please. I'vefinished with it anyway." "Oh, T didn't mean to take it altogether." "Oh, do!I'vefinished the crossword. And onceI'vefinished that I'mnot interested. Do you do the crossword?" No, Miss Treadwellhad to confess, shenever did the crossword. Shesupposed shewasn'tclever enough for that. "Nor was I, this morning. There was a devil of a clue and the only word that fitted was 'poitivene.' Had "And what on earth is it?" "It's a sortof chrysanthemum." "Isit, by Jove! How ever did you know?" Miss Treadwellsaid shehad seen them on the market flower stalls, labeled. There was another one called rayonante. Shealways thought they weresuch pretty names, she said, and the gentleman in the homburg gave her a long friendly blue-eyed stareof admiration. me stuck for an hour. Do you know what a poitivene is?" Miss Treadwell suddenly felt flattered and very pleased with herself. Yes, she said, as a matter of fact she did. SII.KXCK camebetween them for some few minutes after this, until finally the gentleman in the homburg said: "What a beautiful morning." "Lovely. Spring at last." "Spring at last." Miss Treadwell now opened the paper and pretended to read it without actually seeing a single word. At the same time the gentleman in the homburg extended a hand and laid it on the paper and said: "Thecartoon's rather good today. Pagefive. Allow me." As the gentleman in the homburg turned the pages of the paper, Miss Treadwell suddenly noticed an extraordinary thing. On the third finger of his left hand lie was wearing a lather large ring. Itwas in the shape of a turquoise
  • 26.
    butterfly set ina clear white stone. Withconsiderable diffidence Miss Treadwellsaid: "Whata most unusualring, if you forgiveme for saying so." "Itis rather unusual." Thegentleman in the homburg held out the ring for her to look at more closely. She gazed at it for some seconds and then said: "Itlooks sortof Chinese." "Indian, I'm told." "Is ita sortof charm, a good-luck tiling or something?" "Sortof. The butterfly is supposed to represent summer and the white stone winter and ice and all that. I supposeit's a sortof symbolof the resurgenceof spring over winter. Well, so I'vebeen told." Miss Treadwell could only listen in fervent, silent admiration. The stone flashed in the sun. And was it son of lucky? she said. "Supposed to be. But I'm afraid this thing has produced more than its fair shareof trouble." "Oh!how could that be?" "Itbelonged to my eldest sister. She left it to me. Consequently my other sister—I livewith her— has never forgiven her. She gives me hell about it." Miss Treadwell fell into a depressed silence, not knowing whatto say. The silence lasted several minutes until at last he said: "Still, I supposeI ought to be thankful shelooks after me. Do you live nearby?" "My apartmentis justround the corner." "You live alone?" "Oh, quite." "In a way I envy you. At least you've no one to quarrel with. Every day I'mglad when breakfastis over. Then I can be off on my own." In silence Miss Treadwell again gazed at the butterfly imprisoned in its ice. "Do you find it difficult to fill in the day?" the man in the homburg asked. "Oh, no, no, no! It's terribly, terribly full. By the time I've done my cooking and cleared up the apartment and so on I find that the time simply flies. I do a lot of flower arrangement." "I find it hangs like hell." They satfor sometime longer in the sun, without speaking. Then the man in the homburg looked at his pocket watch and said: "Well, I fear I mustbe going; wealways have lunch at dead on twelve. If I'm notthere she starts creating like fury." "I mustbe going too," Miss Treadwell said. "I'vemy own lunch to get. And then I'mmaking new curtains for the sitting room." "Ah!You're clever at that sortof thing?" "Oh!I don't know about clever. As a matter of fact I don't think I am. I sort of mis-measured the windows and now I need yards and yards more material." "I supposethat's the trouble with large windows." "Yes. Yes. However, weshall get over it. I know they haveplenty more at the shop." The man got up, put on his hat, and then took it off again in a courteous gesture. "Well, good-bye. It's been so nice to meet you. Oh, by the way, my name is Thornhill." The butterfly imprisoned in its ice flashed in the sun. AFTER THAT they began to meet at moreor less the same spotat moreor less the sametime on most weekdays. Theweather continued warm, sometimes even hot, and Miss Treadwell discarded the musquash coatand some of the newspaper under it, wearing instead a pale pink jersey dress and a pair of brown imitation-crocodile shoes shehad picked up cheaply at a rummage sale. "I'mfeeling rather affluent today," was the firstremark with which Mr. Thornhill greeted Miss Treadwell one morning. They had been meeting for nearly a month now. "Oh!Why is that?" "I'vestarted todraw my pension." He laughed, rather againsthimself, pleasantly. "I think it's rather funny. Do you havethe pension yet?" "Oh!no, no, clear me no," Miss Treadwell said. She laughed too. Did he mind? She hadn't quite got as far as that yet. All in good time. "Earlier in life one tends rather to despisethe thought. And then when the time comes it's rather nice. Well, I expect you won't be too proud to take it when it arrives." "Well, of courseluckily I haveprivate means." Itwas a lie, but one had to keep up appearances. Miss Treadwell's means consisted of a small PostOffice savings accountfrom which she extracted a minute sum every Monday morning. "I simply couldn't manage the apartment without." "Those curtains must havecost you a bit." "Oh, the earth! The absolute earth." "On the subjectof affluence," he suddenly said, "I feel in honor bound to buy you a drink this morning." "But it's only half-pasteleven." "By the time we've walked to the LansdowneArms it'll be twelve o'clock." "The LansdowneArms?" Miss Treadwell, who couldn'tafford to drink anyway, suddenly found herself confronted with impossiblevisions of grandeur and felt slightly frightened. Walking
  • 27.
    across the publicgardens, shekept her hands tightly folded in front of her in case one or moreof the newspapers should slip and fall down. In the bar of the LansdowneArms, everything was wrapped in red, subdued light. Like scarlet torches, a great vaseof gladioli flamed on the bar. "Now name it," Mr. Thornhill said. "Anything you like. After all, it isn't every day a man becomes of age. Sherry, port, gin, whisky, beer —whatshall it be?" Miss Treadwell hesitatingly confessed that she felt ever so slightly tempted toward a small sherry. "Splendid. I'llhavesherry too. But a dry one. And makethem," he said to the waiting barman, "largeones." Sherry in hand, Miss Treadwell sat bathed in dreams of grandeur that, for all their emergence into reality, werenow more impossiblethan ever. The sherry warmed her throat, crawled shakily through her empty stomach, and moistened her eyes. Mr. Thornhill said "cheers!" severaltimes and then suddenly burstout laughing. "God, I wish my sister could see me now!" He positively swigged at his sherry while Miss Treadwell gently sipped at hers. "Hell. Why do the children of the same parents so often hate each other?" To this question, almost barked out, Miss Treadwell had no answer and simply went on sipping her sherry. "Somedays the atmospherein that houseis poisonous. We hiss at eachother like two snakes. Oneclay—" Miss Treadwell started to think up what seemed at first a presumptuous remark butanother sip or two of sherry finally fortified her to make it. "Perhaps if you gaveher the ring, it might help things." "Good God, what? Can't you justhear her? 'Oh! far be it fromme to take the ring from you. If Alice had wished me to have the ring she would have left it to me. But the fact is she didn't, did she? Oh, no, it's your ring. Not all the wild dogs in China'—that's one of her favoritemaddening expressions, 'all the wild dogs in China.' "Mr. Thornhill savagely drained his sherry glass. "Haveyou ever known whatit is to wantto murder somebody?" "Oh, dear meno," Miss Treadwell said, her voice barely audible. "It's not funny," Mr. Thornhillsaid. "It's notfunny. Still, drink up. Second round. This is the day." Miss Treadwell started meekly to protestthat really one was enough for her, but Mr. Thornhill was already waving an expansive armin the direction of the bar. "Well, if you insist," Miss Treadwell said, "but only a very smallone this time." Of coursehe insisted, Mr. Thornhill said, and snapped out the words "Sameagain, barman," only to retract them a second later. "No, make mine whisky. A double Black and White." His sister didn't drink either, he went on to say. That made her subhuman for a start. A good drink now and then did a lot to make a person human, didn't Miss Treadwell agree? When the barman broughtthe new drinks, Mr. Thornhilldrank gaspily at his whisky, confessing thatsherry really wasn'this tipple. With whisky a man had something. It— what did they say nowadays?—itsentyou. "Wemust do this more often—make it an every- morning thing." Mr. Thornhill, having drunk half his whisky neat, now poured a little water into the restof it, complaining at the same time that you didn't get much of a measure nowadays. In no time you were ready for another. "By the way, did you finish your curtains?" No, Miss Treadwell had to confess, shehadn't yet. "Well, promiseme something. When you do, invite me up to see them. Fair enough? I envy you that apartment of yours. I really envy you. God, it would be nice to live on one's own. Well, promise me?" Well, it would be some time yet, Miss Treadwell found herself saying. Inwardly shetrembled with cold apprehension. There had been somehitch about the material. The stock of the original yellow had run out and she hadn't been able to match it up. "Well, all in good time. All in good time. But promiseme?" AFTER a third large whisky, Mr. Thornhillgave the distinct impression of talking through a muslin bag. The folds of his neck wereperceptibly reddened. Fromtime to time he locked and unlocked the fingers of his two hands and finally, in one of these unsteady gestures, he took off the butterfly ring. To her infinite and tortured astonishment, Miss Treadwell suddenly heard the words: "You said something aboutgiving the ring back to Beryl. Well, blast Beryl. I want to give it to you. Get what I mean?" He held out the brightimprisoned butterfly. "Go on. Take it. Slip it on." "Mr. Thornhill, I don't quite understand—" "Go on. Third finger, left hand." The butterfly imprisoned in its ice
  • 28.
    sparkled. Miss Treadwellproceeded to lift her glass of sherry, only to find herself trembling so much that she had to set it down again. Mr. Thornhill smacked the palms of his hands together and his voice was overloud. "You get what I'm asking you, don't you? Itisn't always easy to say these things." Half terrified, Miss Treadwell made yet another attempt to lift her glass of sherry. This time shemanaged to get it to her lips, spilling much of it down her chin. As shemopped at it with her handkerchief it appeared to Mr. Thornhill that she might have been about to cry. She did in fact feel like crying and satfor somemoments biting her lips hard, locked in impotent nervous distress. "Well," Mr. Thornhillsaid. "What say you? Do you know, I don't even know your Christian name." "Doris." Mr. Thornhilllaughed tipsily. "Doris, I'm asking you—yes, I know, I expect you'regoing to say 'This is all so sudden.'" Well, it was. sortof. Miss Treadwell said. A vision of her bed-sitter, the kennel, suddenly roseup to mock her. The loud plop of the gas ring as she lit it echoed through her mind, extinguishing for a moment every thought. Again the imprisoned butterfly sparkled. A moment later, unsteadily grabbing at his glass, Mr. Thornhill dropped the ring on the floor. Picking it up. he was visibly trembling too. "I thoughtperhaps we could both manage in your apartment—with my pension and yours—unless perhaps you'd sooner be independent." Desperately, as never beforein her life, Miss Treadwell soughtto keep up appearances by taking her compact from her bag, looking into its mirror, and slowly powdering her nose. The face she saw in the glass, pallid and stiff, seemed not to belong to her, and hastily she shutthe compact. "Well, what do you say?" "I don'tknow what—well, anyway, not today, Mr. Thornhill. Please, not today." "Not Mister Thornhill. Harry. Tomorrow, then? Same time, sameplace, tomorrow. Here"I think I oughtto go now, Mr. Thornhill." "Harry, Harry please. Go my foot. I'mgoing to have another whisky." Mr. Thornhill's command of "Sameagain!" was so sharp and loud that a wirehaired terrier belonging to a tweeted gentleman at the far end of the bar yapped out a series of loud and agitated barks. In its feverish agitation it might well have been the echo of the voice of Miss Treadwell pleading for somesort of escape or mercy. "Good- bye," she said. "I really must go." Her voice was in fact barely audible. "Good-bye—I really must go now—" "Don'tforget." Mr. Thornhill staggered unsteadily to his feet, eyes watering weakly, the imprisoned butterfly flashing again as he soughtto shakeher hand. "Sametime, same place—" AFTER THAT Miss Treadwell never sat in the public gardens again. She now goes, instead, to a park half a mile away. In the park is a small lake. In the center of the lake is an island covered with low shrubbery and a number of wooden coops whereornamental water birds, bright mallards, unusualgeese, and even moorhens can shelter. Every morning Miss Treadwell, struggling always, with pride, to keep up appearances, takes with her a small bag of stale cakes or broken biscuits and throws them to the birds and then persuades herself it is sort of fun to watch which ones, greed) and squabbling, grab the biggest pieces first. "Tomorrow," shealways tells herself. "Same time, same place." Shealso reads the newspapers. March 21, 1968 Taller de Práctica Docente 2015 Tutora: Prof. Cecilia A.

     Teaching approach:The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free- stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to introduce the target structure.  Integrating skills: during this class students will integrate their speaking and listening skills to improve their aural comprehension and production. They will also integrate reading and writing when they are asked to write a dialogue and then read it aloud. Their conceptual thinking will also be developed while analyzing the uses of the causative have.  Materials and resources: color markers for the board, my laptop, photocopy, slip of paper  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will not work with ICT support or resources.  Seating arrangements: The students will get in 4 groups to work in the same way during the whole class.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to reason with evidence the changes the main characters of the story may have undergone. They will also consider perspectives about the content of the dialogues they will invent. Besides they will agree on how to include causative have in them.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: I will carry my dictionary as in the previous class. I have focused on causative “have” in passive voice. I have left aside the causative “get” or the use of the active causative have such as in: I had the plumber fix the pipes.  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it difficult to include the causative have in the last dialogue. If this is the case I will prompt or model some suggestions or situations. I will also encourage the sts to have the grammar pattern at hand.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities. Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will elicit the date from the sts and write it on the board. Transition: let´s get ready to talk about the short story! Warm up: 5´ Purpose: to recall previous knowledge about vocabulary from the story and set the context T: Ok sts! Do you remember the story we read last class? What was its name? Sts: Same time, same place. T: Who were the main characters? Sts: Mr. Thornhill and Miss Treadwell. T: What was mainly the story about? What was the main conflict? Sts: Two elderly people; one feels lonely and the other one alone. T: If you had to summarize the topic of the story, which one could be? Why?
  • 31.
    Sts: Loneliness, becauseeach of them is going through their life´s sufferings but in different ways. Each of them has different perspectives about being alone, but each of them has difficulties. T: Do you remember that we also worked on some expressions? Sts: Yes! Transition: What if we revise those expressions? Presentation Activity 1: 25´ Purpose: to recall the vocabulary introduced during the previous class. T: Do you like competitions? Sts: Yes! T: Ok, I’m going to give you 1 minute to have a look at the 12 expressions we worked on the other class, for you to remember them. Then we are going to play a game! These are the expressions from the previous class: 13. To keep up appearances =to pretend that everything is good,for example with your marriage or your financial situation,even though you are having problems 14. A rummage sale = (Am E) an event where people raise moneyby selling old clothes and other things that you no longer want, sold to raise money.The British word is jumble sale. 15. To fall to pieces =to be in a very bad condition because ofbeing old or badly made 16. A mere kennel 7 feet by 10 = very small building where a dog sleeps 17. By Jove! =used for emphasizing whatyou are saying or for expressing surprise 18. With considerable diffidence = not confident or shy 19. To look after someone /something = to take care of someone or something and make certain that they have everything they need 20.At dead on twelve = at exactly 12 p.m. 21. To do sth like fury = to do something with a lot of energy and determination 22.To draw someone´s pension = to receive money regularly after he/she has stopped working because oftheir age,paid either by their companyor by the government 23.To hiss at each other = to complain in a softvoice 24.To struggle to do sth. = to try hard to do something thatyou find very difficult Source: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/ Once the time is over, I will ask the sts to put their folders or copies away so as to leave the desks clean. T: You are going to divide in 3 groups of 4 and 1 group of 5 sts and you are going to choose 1 member to be the first speaker of each group. Once the speakers have been chosen, I’m going to ask those sts to sit at the front of the class, with their backs to the board. THE REST OF THE CLASS ST 1 ST 2 ST 3 ST 4 BOARD
  • 32.
    Then, I’m goingto ask the 4 groups to choose another speaker who will remain in the group. Next, I will write one expression from the list on the board and the speaker from group N° 1 will be the person who will have to either explain the expression on the board without using those words or provide a situation when that expression can be used. The st who is sat on the chair has to guess its meaning and if he/ she says the expression correctly, that group will get a point. Each time an expression is guessed the st on the chair will join the group again and another st will come to the chair; the same will happen with the speaker. The idea is to make all the sts participate. The game will go on until the 4 groups have guessed 2 expressions (8 expressions). After the 2nd round, if there is a draw, the groups will have a 3rd round. (There are 4 expressions left) Possible situation: Word on the board: To look after sth or sb Speaker: It is the action of checking that a person has everything he / she needs St on the chair: To draw a pension Speaker: No. It is to take care of a child or a dog, for example. St on the chair: To look after someone or sb Speaker: Yes! Transition: Great! Now let´s concentrate on a different aspect! Activity 2: 10´ Purpose: to set the context to introduce the new structure T: Do you remember that we said that the main characters finally do not get together at the end of the story? But let´s imagine, Miss Treadwell do accepts to live with Mr. Thornhill. Where did we say she lives? Sts: In a kennel, in a small apartment. T: And how old is Miss Treadwell? Sts: About 60! T: And what about her financial situation? Sts: She is poor, she doesn´t even have a pension. T: Exactly, if they decide to live together probably she will have to make some adjustments to the apartment because it is not well maintained or not well repaired. She will have to ask for help because she cannot do that alone or may be because she doesn´t know. I will deliver a slip of paper per group and I want you to list at least 3 things she will have to do and therefore she will need to hire someone´s service to do it. Once the sts have finished, they may come out with a list like this one:  change the sofa  paint the apartment  take away the old curtains (I´m going to include this example specifically for the sts to see that it is the past participle the tense that is used in this structure) I’m going to write all the expressions on the board Transition: Excellent! Lets’ see how to express this in another way Activity 3: 10´ Purpose: to teach “to have something done” T: Ok, so we have said that Miss Treadwell cannot do these things alone. So she will need to hire someone to do a service and once she has finished with all the remodeling she will say (I will point at the 1st sentence on the list):  I have my sofa changed.  I have the apartment painted.
  • 33.
     I havethe old curtains taken away. I will write these sentences next to the stem ones using another color. T: Therefore, when we talk about services we pay someone else to do, we use the causative have. I´ll write this as a title. T: Now, have a look at the sentences in blue. I will give you 1 minute to find the grammar pattern used in this new structure. I will give you the 1st words: And I will hand in this chart to each sts for them to complete it. This grammar explanations make it a CLT plan. CAUSATIVE HAVE He /They + …………………… + ……………………… + ……………………… KEY He /They + has/ have + something + past participle Once the sts have finished with the grammar chart, we will check it all together and I will tell them: T: Let´s consider the 3rd sentence again. (As stated before, I will choose this sentence to make it clear the use of the past participle). If Miss Treadwell talks about the past, how can she say it? Sts: I had my curtains taken away. In case sts do not know how to answer I will prompt: is it correct to say I have my curtains taken away if she talks about the past? T: What if she considers asking for that service in the future? Sts: I will have my curtains taken. T: What if she has already planned it? Sts: I’m going to have the curtains taken. T: Fantastic, I will include these possibilities in the pattern chart as well. I will write them on the board. Transition: Let´s include someone else in this situation! Development Activity 4: 20´ Purpose: to use the target structure in a less controlled and meaningful context. T: So we have imagined that Mr. Thornhill and Miss Treadwell start living together. Who has been left alone in an apartment? Sts: Mr. Thornhill´s sister! T: Yes! How old do you think she is? Sts: Probably older than her brother. T: Right! Let´s imagine the sister is chatting with a friend after a year that Mr. Thornhill has left the apartment. I want you to work in the same groups and invent a short dialogue, no more than 10 lines, in which you include at least 3 services she has hired or she will hire and she tells her friend about them. Don´t forget to use the pattern that is on the board.
  • 34.
    Probable answers: I havehad my bedroom redecorated. I have my brother´s pictures taken away. I will have the old furniture taken. While students are inventing the dialogue, I will walk around paying attention to the content of what is being said but mainly to the structures the sts are using. If there is a communication breakdown or misunderstanding in the communication, in that case I will prompt or provide some words or expressions. In this activity I can also pay attention to the use of indirect sentences as the students have already worked with them. Once sts have finished, I will invite 2 members of each group to stand up and role-play the dialogues so as to check their understanding of the target structure. Transition: Excellent! I will give you the last activity! Activity 5: 5´ Purpose: to explain the homework for next class T: For next class, I want you to complete 3 short activities you have in your book on page 141. There you have a grammar section and you have to do exercises 9, 10 and 11! They have to do with causative have as well. Activities: KEY to exercises Ex 9 1. b 2. a
  • 35.
    Ex 10 Ex 11 Itis an activity in which sts have to provide personal information. T: Now put your belongings away and let´s go to the break! See you next week!

     Integrating skills:during this class students will improve their listening skill while listening to the teacher and to their mates. At the same time, they will also develop their reading and speaking fluency sharing a specific feeling, exchanging points of view and also at the time of completing a specific task.  Materials and resources: coursebook - markers for the board- copies – my laptop – poster – post- its  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will not work with ICT support.  Seating arrangements: The students will be sitting in lines of 4 or 5 desks but at times they will move places to work in groups or pairs as requested by the activity proposed.  Cooperative work: sts will work in pairs to discuss and agree on the main idea of a paragraph and to fulfill a specific task.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: in the last activity sts may have problems at the time of choosing the correct verb tense, I will suggest looking for the answer in the chart I gave them during my 1st class. It was a class about tenses. Example: St1: “will have finished”, is it in the “will” future?  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it confusing how to express their thought in the activity they have to guess the meaning of “cosplay”, if this is the case I will ask them questions. Example: T: What representation or visual image comes to your mind when you say “cosplay”?  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the activities. Routine: 5´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will elicit the date from the sts and ask one of them to write it on the board. Warm-up: Activity 1: 10´ Transition: let´s check altogether the homework you had to do at home. As done in the 3rd class after the quiz on reported speech, I will tell the sts: T: Ok, now I want you to open your book at page 141 so as to check the homework, exercises 9, 10 and 11. Activities:

    Source: Spotlight toFCE by Alastair Lan; Cengage Learning; National Geographic Learning (2015). All the students have the book so the material for them is completely legible. KEY to exercises Ex 9 3. b 4. a Ex 10 Ex 11 It is an activity in which sts have to provide personal information. T: Please, exchange your coursebooks or the paper with the answers with your nearby classmate to do peer- correction. Once you have your classmate´s sheet of paper, have a look at his/her answers. Is there anything you do not understand? This is the time to ask. I will give the sts some time to do this. I will do so in order to have objective or accurate corrections. T: So now, let´s check the answers together. Take a color pen or pencil to write the ticks or corrections if needed. T: Who can read the answers for the 1st exercise? Then T and sts will check the answers orally. While correcting the exercises, I will recall the causative structure or ask the sts to provide some extra examples if needed. The last activity is open to sts´ personal answers so I will ask them to discuss their lists with a partner. Then I will ask for some volunteers to share their classmates´ answers: Possible answers: This morning, I had the breakfast prepared by my mother Yesterday, I had the school uniform ironed by my eldest sister.
  • 39.
    Once finished, stswill give the answer sheet back to his/her owner with the corrections done and a score provided using this technique of percentage: 8/8 (there are 8 blanks to be filled in). Only the 1st 2 exercises will be considered. Then I will collect the answer sheets and give them to the class teacher if she needs to check the students’ performance or a mark for the booklet (libreta de notas). T: How was your performance? Do you feel secure about this topic or do you feel you have to practice it a bit more? If so, which aspects? If sts come out with doubts about the topic I can prepare some extra exercises or another presentation as well. Transition: Very good! Let´s see if you know this word Presentation Activity 1: 15´ Purpose: to introduce the topic I have chosen the material from the st´s book as suggested by the teacher so as to work on material the sts already have. T: Ok sts. Have you ever heard the word Cosplay? Sts: No! If some sts answer affirmatively or they have a presupposition, I will tell them not to tell its meaning so as not to spoil the following activity and meanwhile confirm their idea. The purpose of the following activity is to arouse curiosity and interest and also for the students to activate previous knowledge, explore ideas and connect the senses with their thoughts as they are using the target language. I will take a poster with a huge X in the middle and there will be 4 questions in the poster, in the middle the word (cosplay) will be written as follows: It looks like… It sounds like… COSPLAY It feels like… I want to know… The questions will be covered (except the key word). I will deliver some post-its and 1 by one I will uncover the questions anticlockwise, starting by it feels like. I will give time in between for the sts to answer them on their post-its. Each answer should be on a different piece of paper. I will encourage them to do this activity in silence. Once the last question is uncovered, I will ask some volunteers to share their ideas. I will not ask each st because if not I will run out of time for the following activities. Possible answers: It feels like something durable, rough, irregular. It looks like a game. It sounds like a cough. I want to know its purpose, whatit is made of. While reading the answers aloud, each st is going to stand up and stick their post-its on the poster; each answer under each question.

    Transition: Very good!Let´s find out what it is! Activity 2: 20´ Purpose: to set the context to introduce the target structure T: So open your course book at page 143. Have a look at the photograph and the title. What do you think cosplay can be related to? Sts: Dressing up! T: Ok, you are on the right track! So now, read the headline under the picture! 2 a : a head of a newspaper story or article usually printed in large type and giving the gist of the story or article that follows http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/headline In the photograph, it cannot be seen, but under the photograph there are 3 sentences summarizing the paragraph and giving the definition of cosplay. It says: Cosplay is short for costume play, one of the latest fashion crazes. It comes from Japan where people dress up as their favorite fantasy or science-fiction characters from Manga (Japanese comic books) and Anime (Japanese animated films). Our reporter Tamsin Harper meets some its British fans. Full Definition of HEADLINE Source: Spotlight to FCE by Alastair Lan; Cengage Learning; National Geographic Learning (2015). All the students have the book so the material for them is completely legible. I will give some minutes for the sts to scan the paragraph under the picture and check their predictions. T: What is the meaning of cosplay? Sts: To dress up in costumes. Full definition of COSPLAY short for 'costume play': an activity in which people dress up as characters from books or films, often acting out role plays. People who do this are called 'cosplayers', and the activity is called 'cosplaying' Full definition of CRAZE something that suddenly becomes very popular, but for only a short time craze for: the craze for Irish music http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/cosplay
  • 41.
    T: What doyou think “the cosplay craze” means? Sts: That they are crazy or very fan of dressing up! T: Yes, it means that it is popular but for a short time. T: So now, the article is divided into 7 paragraphs. I want you to get in 7 groups ( 5 groups of 3 and 1 group of 4). I´m going to give each group the number of the paragraph you have to work with. Then you have to summarize in no more than 2 sentences the main ideas of the passage. If there is a word you cannot grasp or understand its meaning from the context, take a dictionary from the locker. You have 2 minutes to do so. While sts are doing this activity I will walk around checking their analysis, prompting vocabulary, encouraging the use of correct expressions and checking they are summing up the main ideas as well. After that, I will ask the groups to share the aspects they had summarized from each paragraph. I will not devote too much time to the article itself because if not there won’t be enough time for the following activities relevant to the target structure that has to be taught. T: How about Argentina, is Cosplay popular? Why? Sts: No, I haven´t heard of it before. Transition: Let´s use all these information to refer to all this specifically! Development Activity 3: 10´ Purpose: to introduce the target structure T: So, we have been talking about Cospaly, have we talked about someone in particular? Sts: No! T: Therefore mainly we have talked about the action; we have focused on the action of dressing up. Do you remember what structure this is? Sts: Passive voice! T: Perfect! If I say (I will write these sentences on the board): People from different countries follow the cosplay craze. The cosplay craze is followed by people from different countries. T: Which are the verbs or verb phrases in the sentences? Sts: Follow and is followed. I will underline them. T: What is the difference between the 1st and the 2nd sentence? Sts: The 1st one is in the active voice and the 2nd one is in the passive. T: How is the passive formed? Sts: The verb “to be”, the past participle and “by”. I will write it on the board under the sentences like this: Subject + Verb “be” + past participle + (by someone) T: Perfect! Can we change the tense of the auxiliary be? Sts: Yes! T: According to what? Sts: According to the tense of the action. T: Do we always need to state the doer of the action? Sts: No! T: Exactly, can we choose to include the agent or doer of the action? Sts: no! T: We do not include it when it is not important or the agent is obvious. Can we use modals? Sts: Yes!

    Transition: Let´s putall this information into practice Activity 4: 20´ Purpose: to use the target structure in a controlled context T: Open your book again at page 142 and do activities 5 and 6 that have to do with this topic. You have 5 minutes. In the 1st exercise, sts have to identify which sentence is active and which one passive. In the 2nd exercise, students have to identify the verb form of the given sentences and then complete the second sentence using a form of the passive.

Once all the sts have finished, we will check the sentences orally and if questions are raised I will foster the classmates to decide on the correct answer. I will monitor them. Transition: Pay attention. One last thing! T: As this is an important topic and it is going to be included in the FCE we have to know if you have it clear. So next class, you will have a quiz for you to know how well you know about this topic. Taller de Práctica Docente 2015 Tutora: Prof. Cecilia A.

  • 44.
    During this lesson,learners will be able to…  Develop their listening and speaking skills by talking about different and diverse perspectives involved in the activities proposed in the stations.  Develop their reading skill by understanding the instructions to fulfill the tasks.  Use specific structures (passive voice and reported speech) to convey ideas more accurately.  Language focus: LEXIS FUNCTION STRUCTURES PRONUNCIATI ON REVISION Possible vocabulary that may appear: Die/dice To throw the dice - To show interest in sth. or someone that experiences the action rather than the performer of the action -To talk about what someone has said using different reporting verbs -To express and add information when required Changes that occur in tenses in passive voice People from different countries follow the cosplay craze. (active voice) The cosplay craze is followed by people from different countries. (passive voice) Changes that occur in pronouns tenses and time expressions in reported speech “Tomorrow, I will study”. He promised that he would study the following day. Recognition and use of the words /ˈdai/ die (n) / daɪs/ dice (plural) NEW Vocabulary: From the games, sts may not know some of these words: To be doomed to do sth To stuff To blow off To enjoin sb from sth Hemlock Recognition and use of the words /ɪnˈdʒɔɪn/ To enjoin  Teaching approach: The Natural Approach as the students are expected to interact with the teacher and peers in a natural way promoting in this way the communicative abilities. Since language and vocabulary are of principal importance for this approach and to acquire the language, at times, I will encourage the students to concentrate mainly on the understanding of the message rather on the target language specifically. Consequently, learners are also expected to acquire language in a free-stress classroom environment. Besides, the PPP method will be used as well to revise the target structures. The Communicative Approach will also be used since the target structures will be revised from their communicative functions as well.  Integrating skills: during this class students will improve their listening skill while listening to the teacher and to their mates. At the same time, they will also develop their reading and speaking fluency sharing specific information, exchanging points of view and discussing at the time of achieving the games aims. Therefore the 4 macro skills will be integrated unconsciously while having fun.

    Materials and resources:markers for the board- slips of paper with quotations and names of famous people, backshift charts (game 1) – my laptop – Board game on reported speech, copies with backshift changes, a die and 5 counters (game 2) – role-play cards(game 3) – cards (game 4) – printed instructions for each game – cell phone to check the time  Pedagogical use of ICT in class: In this lesson we will not work with ICT support.  Seating arrangements: The students will move their desks and therefore change places to work in groups as required by the activities proposed.  Cooperative work: sts will work in groups to discuss, agree and check the different tasks to fulfill the games aims.  Possible problems/difficulties and their solutions during the class: in the first activity sts may have problems at the time of choosing the correct verb tense for the reporting sentence, I will suggest looking for the answer in the chart I gave them during my 2nd class. It was a class about tenses. Example: St1: “will have finished”, is it in the “would have finished”?  Potential problems students may have with the language: Students may find it confusing how to play the game once they receive a new one. If so I will remind them that the instructions are written at the back of the games.  Assessment: I will assess learners’ comprehension and understanding through their oral interactions, and their participation and development during the different activities. Routine: 2´ Purpose: to greet students and get them into a positive mood to start the lesson. I will elicit the date from the sts and ask one of them to write it on the board and chat about their school- week and the radio program. Transition: What if I tell you the activities I have planned for today? Warm-up: Activity 1: 4´ Purpose: to uncover the reasons for learning passive voice and reported speech I have thought of starting with a short discussion/debate about the importance of the revision of the target structures because the activities that follow rely mainly on the sts´ autonomy and so I want to make it clear that they are having fun with the activities but mainly it is a challenge since they are constructing knowledge at their pace and for their self-awareness, profit, knowledge and interest. T: Do you remember that in the last class I told you to revise passive voice and reported speech? Why do you think so? What do you think was the purpose of it? Sts: They are included in the test. T: Yes, but why should they be learnt apart from the FCE? Sts: They are useful to speak! T: Sure! And it is mainly used in the written form. Besides you know that handling different structures or a proficient level of English helps you express your opinions, feelings, ideas in a clearer way, T: What about in the years to come? How can these structures help you at the university, for example? Sts: We can find a better job. At the university we can read from different sources, etc.
  • 46.
    T: Ok. Itis not just because of the test! So now that you understand their importance, who should “assess” your performance on those specific topics? Sts: You! T: Only me? Sts: And ourselves! T: Exactly! It is mainly you the ones who have to know how you can improve in the use of the language incorporating these new structures. I have thought of practicing these structures in an autonomous way, I mean you analyzing how well you are doing handling the structures. I have prepared 4 instances to check the structures; let´s consider them 4 self-assessment instances! Besides, you are going to work in groups so commit to the topic you have been given and concentrate you and your on that aim, ok? Transition: Now we are going to refresh the purpose of using each structure and their grammar pattern! Activity 2 (10´) Purpose: to recap on the usage and grammar patterns of the structures As the sts have already mentioned the usage and patterns of reported speech and passive voice, I will write them on the board so while they are playing the games, if in doubt they have a reliable source to check apart from their peers and teacher. T: Let´s start with reported speech. When do we use this structure? Sts: To report someone´s words T: Can you provide a sentence? Sts: Martin said that his weekend had been fantastic. T: OK. Which other verbs apart from tell and say can you use to report someone´s words? Sts: Exclaim, admit, and confess. T: When we report an utterance, what elements from the sentence change? Sts: Pronouns, time expressions, tense T: Very good! What about when reporting a question? Can you provide a question? Sts: How was your weekend? T: What aspect changes? Sts: We invert the subject and the verb. On the boar I will write: Reporting someone´s words “My weekend was fantastic” He exclaimed/admitted /confessed that his weekend had been fantastic. How was your weekend? He asked me how my weekend had been. T: Now, let´s pass on to the 2nd structure, passive voice. When do we use it? Sts: When we want to focus on the action more than the thing or person performing the action. T: Can you provide an example in the active voice so that then we turn it into the passive? Sts: The janitors /cleaning ladies cleaned the classroom windows this morning. T: Can you turn it into the passive? Sts: The classroom windows were cleaned by the janitors/ cleaning ladies this morning. T: Which is the grammar pattern of this structure? Sts: Subject + be + past participle and the doer T: Great! I will write this on the board: Passive Voice Active: The janitors /cleaning ladies cleaned the classroom windows this morning. Passive: The classroom windows were cleaned by the janitors/ cleaning ladies this morning. Subject + Verb “be” + past participle + (by someone) At first I thought of bringing 2 posters with these sentences already written but I think it is more profitable for the sts if they remember the patterns through my leading questions. Transition: Let´s have some fun!

    Introduction Activity 1 (5´) Purpose:to give the instructions about the games/ stations T: Ok, please get in 3 groups of 5 (15) and 1 group of 4: 19 sts. Each group will receive an activity and you have 12 minutes to do it. Are you ready? Sts: Yes! I will explain all the activities that will be in each of the 4 stations and then I will visit each group again checking they have understood the instructions. I will try not to call them games but instead stations as I feel that if I call them games the sts will take the activities in a more relaxed way and with not so much commitment. Every 12 minutes I will tell the sts that the time is over and they should give their activity to the people on their right no matter in which stage of the activity they are. Each activity will be in a plastic bag. I think this way will be better than making the sts move, they will lose less time. Sources: As regards all the following games, I have relied on my classmates personal “game banks” (Myriam mainly) but I have adjusted all of them to make them suitable for this group´s needs and characteristics.

Have fun!  These instructions will be written on the other side of the board game. Below, there are the charts with examples of the backshifts used in reported speech.

    1. What aspectsof the lesson do you consider successful? In this opportunity, the time management was almost perfect as well as the pace of the activities. There were no behavioral problems at all, that is something I always worry about. Besides, there was little talking in Spanish, the expected one, we can say. At the very beginning of the lesson I told the students to write their names on signs. I had already asked the teacher how they liked to be called. And something funny happened: One of the students wrote Alberto on the sign but I knew he liked to be called Abi so I did so. By the middle of the class, apparently he could not hold his intrigue anymore and asked me how I had known his nickname was Abi!
