true/false exercise, dialogue forming and speaking. After the coursebook activities. A concept map made by
bubbl.us will be presented to students and they will be asked to form sentences with the components on the
map. Pronunciation, word choice, and grammar will be observed and orally evaluated through the activity.
Pronunciation will be directly corrected if there is any mistake. Grammar rules will not be given explicitly, and
mistakes will be encouraged to be corrected by the student themselves. Afterwards, a game will be played.
Students will be encouraged orally for their achievement through the activity. Homework due next week will
be given. The lesson ends.

Backup plans
No power/ broken player: The transcription will be read to students from the teacher’s book.
Broken computer/no power/broken projector/etc.: The concept map does not have to be reflected, therefore
making sure to have a printout of the map will help in case of these scenarios. The activity will be held out as
planned.
Shy students will be encouraged, but not stressed out, to participate in the communicative game of Find
Someone Who…
If flashcards are lost or forgotten, new ones including only the words will be simply prepared on blank papers
and given out. The activity then will be held out as planned.
