Lesson Plan

Class profile: 37 adults at Basic User (A1) level

Coursebook: Attitude 1 Unit to teach: Unit 4 page 38 and 39 Class time: 90 minutes
Timetable fit: SS have already learnt how to use Present Simple (unit 3- Likes and Dislikes) and use of auxiliaries do/don't, does/doesn´t for question and
negative forms (unit 2 - To have). In next units, they will use Present Simple (all forms) to talk about routines and frequency.
Main aim: To reinforce use of Present Simple (1st, 2nd and 3rd person singular) when talking about jobs and workplaces.
Subsidiary aims: to practice speaking skills and perform informal assessment of some SS oral production.
Anticipated problems: SS might not immediately correlate the use of the auxiliaries do/don't, does/doesn´t with a new context (work).
Possible solution: If SS make mistakes in Study Stage Phase 4, remind them "Do you like? Does she like?" from previous unit.
