Presentation
(T-S) The teacher greets the class, and
asks the students the plans they have for today,
tonight, this weekend, etc. The teacher can also
talk about his own plans, as to set the mood for the
lesson and the topic.
(T-S) The teacher presents the topic of
the lesson (First Conditional) through a
“PowerPoint” presentation, and handing out a
factsheet, as a complementary aid for the class. He
describes the situations in which the grammatical
structure can be used. He exemplifies and
contextualizes a set of sentences, and states the
rules to form said sentences. He also explains some
variations (“If clause” written before the “main
clause” and vice versa).

Practice (S-T) Through the same PowerPoint
presentation, the teacher conducts a controlled
practice activity. By asking for volunteers, or
naming someone randomly, a student will have to
complete the missing information on both clauses
of a “First Conditional” sentence. The student read
the sentence aloud, applying the grammatical rules
covered in the lesson, the teacher shows the
answer on the presentation, explains the answer,
and then, he requests another student to read the
next sentence.

Production (S-S) - The teacher presents the writing
activity. In groups of three, students will have to
create a short text, using the content covered
during the lesson. In the context of “Election Day”,
each group will have to write a proposal text, in
which they make deals and/or threats, offers, and
promises to people, as if they were running against
another political party in the classroom. Using the
First conditional sentence, students will have to
state sentences such as “If you vote for us, we
will...”, to convince people to vote for them. 4
groups will randomly be selected to present their
texts in front of the class, and every group must
hand in their respective proposals by the end of the
lesson.
