Seating arrangement: Students will sit individually during the first part of the class. Then, they will
be asked to work in pairs in order to answer the questionnaire.
Cooperative work: They will cooperate with each other when answering the questionnaire.
Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:
I do not think there might be any problems.
Potential problems students may have with the language: The structures how much and
how many may be difficult for those who do not distinguish between countable and uncountable
nouns. Therefore, I will remind them this difference if necessary.
Assessment: what will be assessed and how: During the whole class, I will assess students´
productions by paying close attention to their work. I will also assess their participation and
enthusiasm in the proposed activities.

3. Routine: (2 min)
I will enter into the room and I will greet my students as I always do. T: Good morning
boys! EA: Good morning, teacher.
Warm up (5 min)
In order to start the lesson I will write on the blackboard: HEALTHY HABITS/
UNHEALTHY HABITS. Then, I will show them a phrase and I will ask students: “Is
smoking a healthy or an unhealthy habit? I expect students to say: “unhealthy”. T:
“Correct! Smoking is an unhealthy habit and it causes many problems.” Then, I will ask
any student to come and stick the phrase under the correct title, in this case:
UNHEALTHY HABITS.
I will repeat the same action with the following habits:
SMOKING DRINKING ALCOHOL
EATING FRUIT EATING CHEWING
GUM
DOING EXERCISE SLEEPING EIGHT
HOURS
CONSUMING DRUGS SPENDING FREE TIME
OUT DOORS
VISITING THE DENTIST REGULARLY DRINKING 1,5/ 2

Transition: Well done! Now, let´s see if you are a healthy person.
Activity 1: (5 min)
I will give students the following questionnaire and I will give them some minutes to read it
and I will ask: “What is this questionnaire about? Is it about food, health or sport?” I expect
students to say: “Health”. T: Yes, it is true. It is a questionnaire about health.

4. Taken from “Your choice Next. Student´s book 2. Richmond”
Activity 2: (7 min)
In order to foster students’ comprehension of the text, I will write the following
words/phrases on the blackboard and I will ask students to find words in the questionnaire
which means the same. I will say: “The first who finds the word comes to the front and
writes the word on the blackboard!” During this activity, I will remain standing on the front,
near the blackboard, waiting for students to come and write the synonyms. Then, after
each student has written his finding, I will check with the rest of the class: “Is this the right
word?” At this stage, I expect students to say whether they agree or not.
The words will be:
a- Meat eater
b- Light meals
c- Long distance run
d- Walking slowly

5. Answers:
a- Carnivore
b- Snacks
c- Marathon
d- Strolling
Activity taken and adapted from “Your choice Next. Student´s book 2. Richmond”
Transition: Perfect! Now let´s answer the questionnaire.
Activity 3: (7 min)
In order to answer the questionnaire, I will ask students to work in pairs. I will explain:
“Now, you are going to work with your closest classmate. One of you is going to ask and
the other is going to answer. Then you change roles. Therefore, you will write your
classmate´s answers and he is going to write yours.”
As students work, I will walk near the groups, so that I am able to monitor their work. I will
check whether they are using L2 and if they are doing what they have to do. I will provide
help with vocabulary and I will answer questions if there are.
Activity 4 (5 min)
In order to clarify the use of the structure “How much” and “how many”, I will focus their
attention on a poster I will take to the class.
QUANTIFIERS
HOW ............................ WATER DO YOU DRINK A DAY?
HOW ...................... CUPS OF COFFEE DO YOU DRINK A DAY?
Rule:
WE USE......................+ COUNTABLE NOUNS
WE USE......................+ UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

6. I will make students aware of the target structure, and for this purpose, I will say:” Look. These are
two questions from the questionnaire. Can you help me to complete the two questions? I expect
students to say: “how much water and how many cups...”, because both questions are in the
questionnaire. T: GOOD! Then, I will add: “So, Now, help me with the rule. We use..... plus
countable nouns (while pointing to the rule)” I expect students to say “How many”. T: Good! We use
“how many” to make questions about countable nouns and “how much” with uncountable nouns. I
will write the words on the poster and I will ask a student to display the poster next to the one of the
previous class.
Transition: Well done! I´m sure this poster will help you a lot!
Activity 5 (5 min)
In order to wrap the lesson, I will let students to analyze their questionnaires. For this purpose, I will
give them the following card. I will explain: “Now, let´s see how healthy you are. Count how many
letters A , B and C your classmate has got. Compare your results with the information in this card
and let the class know!”
As students are analyzing the answers, I will walk near them to monitor whether they are working or
not. If it is necessary, I will help them to interpret the information.
After all of them have finished, I will say: “Now, you are going to exchange your questionnaires and
let us know your results. For example, you Emi, are you a healthy person? What is the result of your
questionnaire?” At this moment, I expect students to report their results. I will ask the same question
to 6 or 7 students.
Wrap up: (2 min)
To finish the lesson, I will say: “All students who got an “A”, stand up, please”. And I will follow:
Congratulations!
Then, I will say: “All students who got a “B” raise your hands” And I will add: “Well done. But you
need to improve”
Finally: I will ask: “Are there any students who got “C”? If there are, I will add: “Oh my God! It is an
emergency. You must change some bad habits!
Answers:
MOSTLY A: Congratulations! You are serious about your health and fitness. Keep
it up
MOSTLY B: You are quite healthy and fit, but you CAN IMPROVE!
MOSTLY C: You have to change your lifestyle! You are unhealthy. Pay attention
to what you eat and do more exercise!

Well done, Gisela! Try to provide and elicit examples from students so as to scaffold the learning
of the ones who cannot distinguish from countable and uncountable nouns.
Have a nice lesson!
