Introduction
In the beginning students are explained that they will have a block lesson conducted
by two teachers, English and ICT teacher. They were explained that some parts of
the lesson would be done on computers with the help of their ICT teacher.
Motivation
Teacher asks students if we are talking about time and not about telling the time,
what can we talk about? Students give their suggestions (days/months/
dates/seasons.)
Students are projected a spidergram on the board, with different subtopics of time-
days/months/seasons/ festivals/ specialdays and parts of the day.
After that they are given different words like : Wednesday,evening,
autumn,May,Mother's day, Christmas, and they have to come to the board and put
the words in the correct place, where they think they belong. After all the words are
on the board we checked if everything is in the right place, and make corrections
where they are necessary.
Also students have to decide what preposition will they use with each group of the
words-IN, ON or AT-for example will they say : ON Monday,AT Monday or IN
Monday.They saay their answers,and the teacher writes it on the board.
Students are than asked to say one more word for each group of the words.
