The beginning of the lesson:

Procedure of the lesson:

Warming up

Objective:

• Warming up

Time: 14 minutes

Interaction: pair work

Procedure:

Sing the song.

STEP 1: Play the DVD. Ask the pupils to listen to the song and sing it. STEP 2: Ask the pupils to swap their exercise books in pairs. Ask them to check each other’s homework. Then you can check the homework involving the whole class.

In order to recall the previous lesson let’s play snowball. I will throw snowball to one of you and the pupil who will have received should say a school subject with “I like…” Who wants to be the first?

Explanation the theme (10 minutes): I’m going to explain the new theme. Listen carefully! In order to tell the time we need to know several words and word expressions. In English when we say about time we use “It is” at the beginning of the sentence. For example:

It is 9 o’clock (9:00) It’s half past 10 (10:30) It’s quarter to 12(11:45)

Differently in English, first of all we should say the minute of the time and then the o’clock. For instance:

It’s 20 minutes past 11(11:20) It’s 25 (minutes) past 3 (3:25)
