Period One : PresentationThe Tag Questions

Teacher presents a brief summary of question types

To ask a question in English, you must usually use one of the auxiliary verbs “ be – have – do” or a modal verb: “can- will – must- may …

Listen and Consider

In this part of the lesson, students are going to learn to -Ask tag questions -Identify rising and falling intonation in tag questions -Listen for gist.

Question Types

Auxiliary questions

Yes, No questions

Information questions

WH questions

OR questionsAlternative questions

Embedded questions

The two in one questions

Auxiliary QuestionsIf you are expecting a yes, no answer,

then the question starts with the auxiliary or the modal.

Examples-Is Juan Japanese?

-Must we come early?-Do you like German food?

WH QuestionsIf you want more information than a

simple yes, no answers, you must ask questions starting with one of the

following question words: who, what, where, when, why, which, whom,

whose and how. In this kind of questions, you also normally use

auxiliary or modal verbsExamples

-What did the teacher say?-Where does she live,

-When can we play chess?

OR QuestionsThis kind of question is also called alternative question. The reply is

usually a word or phrases from the question itself. They are formed exactly as yes, no questions, but

contain two final elements.Examples

-Is it hot or cold in here?-Are you married or single?

-Do you prefer coffee or tea?

Embedded QuestionsIt is a question in which another

question is inserted.Example

Can you tell me where the train station is?

There are two questions within this question

1 is “Can you tell me something?”2 is “where is the train station?The latter is embedded in the

former.


A special type of questions is the tag that English people (speakers) put at the end of many statements.

A tag question or mini question is a question that we add to the end of a statement because we would like

to get an answer to our statement.Tags are very common in spoken English, and have many functions. One of the common functions is to

start a conversation or help keep it going.

Question tags are used to find out if something is true , or want people to agree or disagree .

The tag contains a subject pronoun : « it, he, she » which matches the subject of the statement and a verb which matches the verb in the statement.

It is a very nice weather today, isn’t it?

She can speak four languages, can’t she?

The two basic rules about tag questions are:1-If the statement is positive, the tag must be negative

You were happy , weren’t you? Positive negative

2-If the statement is negative, the tag must be positive.You weren’t happy , were you?

Negative positive

The tense of the tag is determined by the tense of the auxiliary or modal verb of the statement that precedes it.

If the statement does not use an auxiliary or modal; i.e.: it is in the present or past simple tense, then the auxiliary to do must be used.

He will arrive in time, won’t he? Statement Question tag

Examples

Snails crawl slowly, don’t they? He went to school by bus, didn’t he?

Read and Consider

Learning Objectives:

…………………………… ?

He will invite me,………………….. ?

Fonda’s sister is a model,

If we use a rising intonation ( ) in the tag, we do not know or we are not quite sure of the answer.

You haven’t seen my tennis shoes, have you?

Sorry, I haven’t.

I couldn’t borrow your dictionary, could I?

I’m afraid you couldn’t.

If we use a falling intonation ( ) in tags, we are seeking the

agreement of the person we are talking to.

It has been a lovely day today, hasn’t it?

Yes, you are right.

The listening activities of this phase of the lesson and their answers, are found on the teacher’s guide.

Reading ComprehensionStudents should be able to : Give suppositions Reorder sentences

Before you read: Presentation of the theme

Aim: to activate students’ minds towards what they are going to read about.

-Show your students a recipe book or a cook book and ask about its: content, use and who often uses it.

The recipe has two parts:

1-List of ingredients: This list says WHAT you need to prepare the food. It should also say HOW MUCH you need.

Some words you can use:

2- Preparation:

What is a recipe ?

A recipe is a list of ingredients and instructions for preparing

food.

kilo ____________ a dash of ____________gram ____________ a tablespoon of ____________a piece of ____________ a teaspoon of ____________a slice of ____________ some ____________a cup of ____________ a package of ____________

Types of vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. Spices and herbs. Dairy products. Drinks. Others.

Here it says HOW TO PREPARE / MAKE the food. It is important to write the instructions in the CORRECT ORDER.

There are lots of things you can do to food.

bowls, pans, spoons, knives, plates, trays, oven, microwave, fridge, freezer,...

EASY MEDIUM DIFFICULT EXPERT

LANGUAGE TIPS:Use time linkers ( sequencers)

(First, then, next, and then, after five minutes,...)TENSES recommended: simple present and imperative.

(take a carrot, peel the tomatoes, when it boils,...)You can also use modal verbs such as:

CAN, SHOULD, SHOULDN’T, MUST, MUSTN’T, NEED TO, DON’T NEED TO,...

It is a direct sentence. We do not need to mention the subject

Make requests

Give instructions, orders, commands

Give directions

Give warnings

Give advice

Things you should not do when eating

The Time Sequencers

First Next Then Later After that

Finally

The Imperative

It is used to

It’s impolite to start eating before everyone has been served or to have your elbows on the table while you are eating.

Never shew with your mouth open. Don’t reach over someone’s plate for something. Ask for the item to be passed. Never talk with food in your mouth.

It is impolite to slurp your food or eat noisily. Never blow your nose on a napkin. Napkins are for dabbing your lips and only for that.

Never take food from your neighbour’s plate.

Research and ReportLearning objectives: Students should be able to read a food’s label to discriminate between healthy and unhealthy food

To the teacher: Before you introduce the topic food and food labels, you should recycle the comparative of adjectives.

Adjectives

An adjective is a describing word. In most sentences, it goes before the word it describes.

Uses

Most adjectives describe the thing which they are attached to.They tell us about its: size, colour and other features.

Don’t ues too many adjectives: good writers use just a few adjectives chosen with care.

You can have a single adjective:James has got a red car.

Or you can have more than one The big shiny yellow ball.

You have to put the adjectives in the right order:SIZE, TEXTURE, COLOUR, TYPE

Donald is rich. Noun Adj


The comparative of superiority is used between two: people, animals, places or things to say that one item has a larger amount of quality than the other.

When we compare, we look at what makes them different from each other.

Comparative adjectives are used to show what quality one thing has more or less than the other

Matt Oliver

Matt is taller than Oliver.

Big Ben, England1859 96,3m 8667 tons

Statue of Liberty, USA

1886 93m 205tons

Compare between the Statue of Liberty and Big Ben

The Statue of Liberty is ………………….. than Big Ben. (old)

Big Ben is ……………………. Than the Statue of Liberty. (high)

Big Ben is ……………………….. than the Statue of Liberty. (heavy)

Meat Sugar Oil

Food (which really includes many types of drinks too – like milk shakes and cola – but not water) is what people and animals eat. made up of nutrients. These are the things which give you energy or help build up your body as you grow.

What is it made of?It’s made of the three nutrients,

minerals and vitamins.

A HEALTHY DIETLook at the food pyramid. It helps us to choose healthy food. You need to eat a lot of the food at the bottom of the chart and only a little of the food at the top.You need to eat a lot of cereals like rice, corn and bread every day. You also need a lot of vegetables like lettuce and carrots. Fruit – like pineapples, papayas and oranges – is also important. Every day you need to eat some protein and dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt). It helps you to grow. There is protein in meat, fish, eggs and beans. The food at the top of the chart has a lot of fat or sugar. Try to use the food pyramid every day. It can help you to eat healthily.
