            Fruit cards to illustrate chosen food words.

·          a smiling face and an unhappy face for each student

·         To define their own likes and dislikes in a process of related item such as introducing himself/herself in a new beginning of speech.

·         To examine related questions to ask and learn someone’s likes and dislikes

·         To interpret how grids can be used to represent information of the target topic(like&dislike)

·         To organize a dialogue utilizing given experience of pair work for information transfer.

·         To distinguish the negative form from the positive form of the target topic.

Stage 1: Introducing or revising the vocabulary

• Show the cards (a maximum of ten for non-beginners, five, at first, for beginners) and either elicit the word or teach it, encouraging choral and individual repetition.
• Stick a smiling face card (mouth turned up) on the board, next to the banana card and say, 'I like banana'. Use mime to emphasize your meaning.
• Ask students in the class 'And you?' Elicit 'I like banana, too.' Repeat this with other food words.
• Then stick the sad face card (mouth turned down) next to a fruit card and say 'I don’t like watermelon', again using mime and exaggeration to convey your meaning.
• Ask the students 'And you?' They can respond with either 'I like banana' or 'I don’t like banana'.

Stage 2: Using a grid on the board to represent information

·         Quickly draw the following simple grid on the board. Draw pictures instead of writing words, and write the name of the first student you ask.

Name	Apples	Bananas	Oranges	Strawberries
Ali
Student 1
Student 2
Student 3

• Ask; 'Do you like apples, Ali?' If Ali says 'Yes' (you can encourage the students to reply using 'Yes I do, No I don’t') fill in a smiling face in the appropriate place on the grid.

When you have filled in two or three faces, you can hand over to the students, getting them first to fill in the faces, and then to ask the questions.

Stage 3: A quick comprehension check.

• Point to the grid on the board and ask the students to raise both arms if you make a true statement and to keep their arms folded if what you say is not valid for them. Demonstrate before asking them to do the activity.
• Then say;
  'Ali likes apples.' Students raise both arms if the statement is true.
  'Ayşe doesn’t like oranges.' Students raise both arms if the statement is true.
  'Fatma likes strawberriess.' Students keep arms folded if the statement isn't true.
• You can again hand the game over to the students and get them to make the statements.

Stage 4: Pair  work

The students work in pairs.

·         Want students to draw a grid. Tell the students to choose four kinds of food and write the words in the grid. It is important for pairs to choose the same food items. If you want this to be a more controlled activity, you can specify the food items. Demonstrate first on the board.

• They write their own name and draw smiling or sad faces in the appropriate place on the grid if they like or dislike the food they have chosen.
• They then write their partner’s name on the second line of the grid. Each in turn tells their partner whether they like or dislike the food and the partner draws a happy or sad face in the appropriate space on the grid.
• They then compare their grids to see if they have understood the information they were given. They obviously should have identical grids.

Remember to demonstrate the activity with a student first, then ask for a pair to demonstrate so that everyone knows what is expected.

Stage 5: Review

• The students play a guessing game based on their grids. One student comes to the front with this grid. Students from the group have to guess what food he/she likes. 'Do you like strawberry?' 'Do you like orange?' The first student to guess correctly takes over.

Follow up

·          The teacher wants the students to works in pairs and  make up and write a song about their likes and dislikes. Then she wants students to sing the song together.
