Speaking.

Draw a house on the board.

Teacher shows pair pictures of different houses on the active board. Ask learners to describe the houses and compare them.

Encourage learners to use conjunctions ‘and’, ‘but’ to describe similarities and differences.

PPT (slide 3)

If necessary teacher can support less able learners by giving them a word bank. (differentiation by teacher support)

Word bank (worksheet 1)

Writing.

Teacher asks pre-writing questions: (W)

• What kind of materials do you know?

• What materials do people use to make houses?

(wood, metal, glass, stone, brick, felt, twigs)

Word bank (worksheet 1)

Ask learners about yurts.

• What is Kazakh traditional house?

• In what houses did people live many years ago? (Yurts)

Tell learners: what yurts are made of; their shape; the different types; and show pictures. (Teacher provides learners with some words related to yurts: room with a fireplace, hole in the roof, warm in winter and cool in summer.)

Brainstorm words learners know about houses. How many words do learners know? (rooms, garden, garage) (W, I)

Ex: The first house has two floors and the second one. The first house is big but the second is small. The first house has four windows but the second has three. (f)

PPT (slide 4)

(Peer assessment) Learners assess each other following the descriptors:

• Use at least two sentences;

• Use conjunctions ‘and’, ‘but’.

Demonstrate two pictures of a yurt and a house. Elicit learners point to and say the materials. Then ask to speak about differences of shape and material.

Ex: The yurt is a circle shape but the house is a square shape. The yurt has felt walls but the new house has stone walls.

Provide with new phrases on the board: It is made of / It looks/ It / It smells (e.g. Yurt is made of wood. It looks comfortable. It smells wool.)

Learners in pairs complete a chart to show differences between two types of homes. They compare charts with another pair. (peer assessment)

Encourage learners to share ideas and collaborate. One can write notes on the left side of the chart (yurt) one on the right side (new homes) (in the copybooks) More-able learners, write a sentence about which home they prefer or like and why. (differentiation by task)

Ex: I like the yurt because it looks warm.
