Procedure

1. Greeting and organization.

2. Warming up. On the board “ Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language!)) (J. Brown) Give 1-2 minutes to think about this  and then get some feedback from the class by asking a few students their opinions.

3. Set Expectations. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Take your seats and get ready for the lesson.

      Today we’re going on talking on the topic Natural disasters. Today’s activities will help us to review all that we learned about disasters, develop our listening and speaking skills. The main aim of our lesson is grammar practice. It is the Second Conditional. Print “Disaster” on the board. Tell students, You are going to come up with as many words as you can that are related to the word “disaster,” and then we’ll put these ideas together to get a really good sense of what a thing has to be in order to be labeled a natural disaster

4. Motivate and Focus Ask students to define the word “disaster.” (A disaster is an event that causes a lot of damage and harm.) Ask: What does it mean to say a tornado is a “natural disaster?” (It’s a disaster caused by nature.) Today, we are going to brainstorm different kinds of natural disasters

5. Oral practice. Tell students: First, I am going to put the words “natural disasters” in the center of this map. This map is going to help us pull together all the pieces of our ideas about natural disasters. Now, I want you to think of some examples of natural disasters. List these examples on chart paper hanging next to map. As volunteers name disasters, ask them what they know about each ones. What is it? Have they ever experienced it? Have they seen it on television or in movies? Use students’ explanations to write a brief definition beside each word

6. Listening. Pre-listening task. “Drawing game.” Copy and cut up a set of the word cards. Divide the board in two and the students into two teams. Ask one volunteer from each team to come up to the board and show both students one of the word cards. Ask them to draw the word on the board and their team must guess what it is. The first team to guess the word wins a point. Two more students come up to draw the next word, and so on. (e.g. tsunami, volcanic eruption, flood, drought)If your students aren’t up for drawing, use the word cards for them to simply take and describe the word to the group. The student who guesses the word correctly wins the card. The student with the most cards wins. Suggested words to use: a) Snowboarders found alive under 5 m of snow;(avalanche) b)Heat and smoke force animals from their homes.(forest fire) c) Roads were under tonnes of rock and mud(landslide)

While-listening task. Listen to ten people talking. Decide which natural disaster each person is speaking about. Play the recording, pausing after each speaker to allow students time to choose a natural disaster. Students check their answers in pairs. If necessary, play the recording a second time without stopping. Check answers as a class. (Solutions Pre-Intermediate Unit 8, 8-A Ex.5 (3.14)             KEYS: 1-avalanche 2-disease 3- flood 4-tsunami 5-earthquake 6-volcanic eruption 7-drought 8-forest fire 9-landslide 10-famine

Post-listening task. Tell some words about one of natural disasters you have heard.

7. Speaking. Students’ reports or presentations about

• The Great Fire of London
• The Great Plague of London
• Groundwater flooding in the UK: January 2014

Having  rest: video

8. Grammar Practice

As I have said at the beginning of the lesson we’ve got some new grammar today. It is the continuation of the topic Conditional sentences. Let’s remember some things about them.

1) Zero conditional (Students tell the rule and give their examples)

2) First conditional. Movie activity (https://vk.com/videos184583605) Reproduce the conversational turns with the first conditionals.

Let’s get acquainted with the Second Conditional. Here is the conversation that took place between Winston Churchill, a British politician and statesman, and Nancy Astor, the first woman to sit as a Member of Parliament, at a dinner party:

Are these conditional sentences real? What time do they refer to: past or present? What tenses are used in these sentences? (Pupils try to answer the questions.)

Let’s study the rule of using the verb to be in such sentences and some more examples.

Grammar practice.

III. Summing up the lesson

You have been working hard and your marks are… Your home task for the next lesson is a) Solutions Pre-Int. Grammar Builder p.118 Ex.1-3; b) To make a report about natural disasters in Ukraine.
