Warm-up: Where is it?
Aims
Ss recall the names of school rooms and the ordinal numbers of floors, which prepares them for the new language.

Expected outcomes
Ss name at least three rooms and say the floor where each one is located.
Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T shows the flashcard of the library and says: "Where is the library? Guess the floor." T gives the game rule: pairs take turns to name a room and its floor.
Pupils
Ss look at the flashcards and listen to the rule. Ss guess the floor: "The library is on the first floor."
Teacher
T walks around and gives help with the word order. T points to the school map on the board and asks: "Where is the art room?"
Pupils
Ss work in pairs and take turns with flashcards. Expected answers: "The art room is on the third floor." / "The computer room is on the second floor."
Teacher
T calls on three pairs to say their sentences in front of the class and corrects pronunciation quickly.
Pupils
Three pairs report their sentences. Other Ss listen and give a thumbs-up if the sentence is correct.
Teacher
T writes on the board: "Where is the + room? / It is on the + ordinal number + floor." T reminds Ss that we say first, second, third floor, not one, two, three floor.
Pupils
Ss copy the structures into their notebooks.
