Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes
Yes or No Guessing Game
Aims
Ss review the question 'Is she doing a quiz?' from Unit 2 and get ready for the new structure 'What's he/she doing?'.
Content
T hides a picture in a mystery bag and reveals it bit by bit. Ss ask Yes/No questions such as 'Is she doing a quiz?' and 'Is he colouring?' until they guess the picture.
Expected outcomes
Ss answer Yes/No questions correctly and recall the structure 'Is she doing...?' from Unit 2.
Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T says: 'Let's play a guessing game! I have a secret picture. Ask me Yes/No questions to guess it.' T gives a model: 'Is she doing a quiz?' T answers 'Yes, she is' or 'No, she isn't'.
Pupils
Ss listen carefully and watch the teacher's model. Ss repeat the question 'Is she doing a quiz?' after T.
Teacher
T shows a small part of the picture and asks: 'Is he colouring?' T prompts Ss to ask full questions and reveals more of the picture after each correct question.
Pupils
Ss in turn ask Yes/No questions. Possible answers: 'Is he colouring a square?' – 'Yes, he is.' 'Is she doing a quiz?' – 'No, she isn't.'
Teacher
T asks: 'Who can guess the picture now?' and calls on 2–3 Ss to name the picture.
Pupils
Ss answer: 'It's a boy colouring a square.' or 'It's a girl doing a quiz.'
Teacher
T praises Ss and says: 'Today we will learn a new question: What's he doing? and What's she doing?' T writes the two questions on the board.
Pupils
Ss look at the board and repeat the new questions together.
