Explanation
At the end of the class students will be asked to write a one minute paper by which they are required to
write what they learnt and what they did not understand during the class period. These papers will be
collected and they will be the general feed-back to the teacher about the class and how much was learnt.
Students will not feel distressed because they will know that they will not be graded for the paper.
Explanation regarding to the implementation of the plan
Definition of Superstitions is given and students opinions about the topic are asked by using Prezi
presentation. Most known superstitions in the world are introduced. Students will talk about superstitions and
their own beliefs. Then, words that are decided to be taught (by school book) are shown in flashcards by
Studyblue. Before giving exact meanings of the words, whether they know the words or not is investigated.
Then, each word is explained and example sentences are given. Then, fill in the blanks activity papers are
distributed. Ten aimed words will be written on the top of the exercise paper. The text on the paper, will be
based on future and past tense and it will include blanks to be filled with aimed words. Students will fill in the
blanks individually; the answers will be discussed after majority of the class is done with the activity. Students
will be asked to participate to give answers; and they will get the appropriate feed-back for their questions
and answers. Students will be asked to underline each verb and decide on its tense. Each sentence will be
translated into Turkish by teacher orally, so that students will be able to differentiate future tense from past
tense.
Back-up plan: Same topics will be explained in a conversational way. The aimed words will be written on the
board, from the school book. Students will be asked to offer a sentence for each word to be written on the
board. Then, a game will be prepared. The game is as following: A student will be given by teacher one of the
words and he will not tell that to his/her friends, instead s/he will describe it and its meaning or shape and
other students will try to guess the meaning of the word. This game will be applied for each of the words that
are planned to be taught.

Students will write a fictional paragraph by using past and

Explanation
Explanation regarding to the implementation of the plan
Firstly, students will work in pairs, and ask questions to each other. Then, based on the answers they get from
one another they will make predictions about the future of their pair by using future tense (-Do you like
reading books? Yes Do you like studying? Yes Would you like to do experiments? Yes You will be a
scientist in the future.) Secondly, the teacher will bring a box full of papers on each of which there will be a
fortune telling sentence in future tense form. Each student will pick one little paper from the box. Students
will read the papers and exchange them with their friends, so that they observe different structures of simple
future tense. Thirdly, a quiz on vocabulary items will be applied. At least 7 of 11 questions are expected to be
answered correctly to be regarded as a good level of comprehension of the unit. Lastly, students will be
required to write a paragraph about themselves in future tense (their predictions, hopes and plans) about
future as homework.
Back-up Plan: If things do not go as planned, a handout will be given to the students. There will be a dialogue
about future predictions on the handout. Students will act out the dialogue in front of the class. After that,
students will be asked to write a little paragraph by using simple future tense and given vocabulary items
about superstitions in the class.
