PROCEDURES :

Warm-up : 5 min.

The teacher greets the classroom, and asks some questions like :

- Do you like watching TV?

- What kind of TV program do you watch?

Students answer those questions according to their interests and their life style.

Pre-Activity :

Ask and answer : 5 min.

Teacher shows some pictures* to students, and asks what kind of programs they are. Then, she gives their meanings by putting them on the board. After she explains much more, she distributes handouts** to the students in which the students are required to read a text about television and answer the questions in pairs by using the words the teacher has just introduced. At last, she asks the students to give answers in front of the class. This activity is called “ask and answer”. After this activity, the teacher wants her students to give examples through the TV program types that the teacher has introduced. By using “you said” technique, she retells what students have said.

While-activity :

Pass and talk : 10 min.

Teacher puts another pictures*** related to TV program types on the board. After putting them on the board, teacher divides the class into groups of six people and distributes minimized pictures of TV programs to students. Each student has a card on which there is a TV program. Each group member describes what they see on the card. They talk about which TV program they have and what kind of TV program they see on the picture. It is important that each student describes the card they have loudly. After each student has finished his task, they pass the cards around from hand to hand until the teacher whistles. This whistle means “STOP”. Then, they continue doing the task with fully participation. All students must engage and participate in the activity. After students have finished the task as a group, they speak what they produce in the group activity in front of the class. Teacher wants students to evaluate presentations. This creates a competitive environment and makes fun learning in the classroom. This activity is named as “pass and talk”.

Post-activity : 2 min.

In this step, teacher repeats TV program types and evaluates class.

Contingency Plan :

Serials : 10 min.

The teacher shows a picture to students and tells something about the picture. Students write a story about the picture according to teachers’ explanations and descriptions by working in the same group. Each group prepares a different story and groups evaluate other groups’ stories saying whether it is interesting, good, well-presented, well-organized, and so on. The students have an opportunity to be both speakers and listeners and they can improve their understanding of what is involved in making a spoken presentation.
