LESSON PLAN
Teacher: Arletta Ciemnoczołowska
Topic: Technology inventions – giving opinion
Level: upper –intermediate
Lesson focus: Listening, function and speaking
Lesson aims:
• By the end of the lesson the students will have practised speaking (giving opinions, agreeing, disagreeing) and will have revised some expressions on giving opinions.
• By the end of the lesson the students will have practised listening for detail.
• The students will have some less – restricted oral practice.
• The students will have some reading practice (it time).
Assumptions: The students know expressions connected with giving opinions but they may need some clarification.
Anticipated problems (and planned responses):
• The students may not understand the meaning of “snail mail” – teach them
• The students may not be able to understand all opinions while listening – give them the recording twice

Inside Out, Upper – Intermediate, S. Kay, V. Jones, Macmillan, Unit 6, p. 61
