(unidentified) here on earth.Say,Many abbreviations using two or three letters have a period after each letter.For example,N.Y. means New York and M.D. means Medical Doctor.But some abbreviations do not use periods.We usually write the abbreviation UFO without periods.CStep 2c GroupworkThis activity provides guided oral practice using the target language.In this activity first ask students to look at the picture and say what each person is doing.Sa:A girl is eating an ice cream.Sb:A boy is riding a bicycle.Sc:The woman and the policeman are watching the UFO.Sd:And a reporter is filming the UFO.Then point to the example in the sample dialogue.Ask three students to read it to the class.Get students to make conversations like this about the people in the picture.Write the words or phrase students may use in the conversation on the board.Get students to work in small groups.When they work,move around the room checking the progress of the groups and offering help as needed.In the end ask a group to say its conversation to the class.CStep Grammar FocusReview the grammar box first.Ask students to say the two forms of each statement.Repeat the activities from the Language Goal section at the beginning of this unit using different students and different actions.For example,have a different student wait outside the door.Have three students in the classroom read a book,sit on the floor and draw a picture on the board.Ask the students outside the door to e in and sit down.Then ask the three students who were reading a book,sitting on the floor,and drawing a picture to sit in their chairs.Ask the first student who was doing an action,What were you doing when (Student A) walked in?Guide him or her to answer,I was reading a book when (Student A) walked in.Ask the class to repeat,He (She) was reading a book when (Student A) walked in.Repeat this with the second and third students who were doing actions.Draw a long horizontal line across the board.Write the words I was drawing a picture on the line.Then make a star in the middle of the line and write the words when (Student A) walked in below the star.Point to the straight line and say,This action continued for a long time.Then point to the star and say,This action happened quickly.Run your finger along the line as you say the words,I was drawing a picture.Then slap your hand on the board at the star as you say the words,when (Student A) walked in.Point out that the word when es before a quick action that happens only once.The word while es before an action that continues for some time.Ask students to say other sentences with when and while from this unit (or from their own lives).CStep Optional ActivityDescribe an action that you did earlier in the day and that took only a moment to do and tell what time it happened.For example,I ate and listened to the news at 7:00 this morning.Then ask students to tell what they were doing at that time using the words when and while.Help the students make the first few students make sentences like these:I was sleeping when he/she listened to the news.or When he/she was listening to the radio,I was eating breakfast.Then describe similar actions at different times and ask students to make sentences using when and while.CStep Summary and HomeworkThis class weve done listening,speaking and writing practice using the adverbial clauses with when and while.Todays homework is to write reports related to UFOs.You can watch the video E.T. and write a short report about what happens in the movie.Or find a newspaper or magazine article about UFOs in the library.Also you can surf the Internet to find something about UFOs and write a short summary of it.Step Blackboard DesignUnit 3 What were you doing when the UFO arrived?eat ice creamride
