Name: Hamed Hashemian • 22 Jan 2019 • Fame, Third conditional sentences

Description
In this lesson, the pupils are going to be taught the 3rd conditional sentences based on a reading which is about lucky break through highlighting the marker sentences. Their meaning plus
form and finally pronunciation will be clarified. The lesson will begin with a couple of thought provoking questions regarding being famous.

Main Aims
To provide clarification of Third conditional in the context of Lucky break(fame)

Sub Aims
To provide practice of Third conditional

Background

Class Profile
Indeed this current lesson will be observed by a bunch of fellow professionals who are going to check every single part of this lesson and comment on it. However, we might contemplate
the vast majority of them as upper-intermediate pupils who are virtually familiar with zero,first,second conditional yet not the third conditional. There might be a crowd of 20 colleagues
who are aging between 23 and 44 (comprising 90 per cent female, 10 per cent male). They all have craving for English language and more importantly they are all enthusiastic about
interacting with not only their peers but also the rest of members.

Assumptions
We assume, having previously worked with the conditional sentences , will have little trouble grammar of 'would have'. We assume that they will be able to figure it out through self-
explanatory questions via the ppp method.

Personal Aims
In this current lesson the first and main priority, which stands out amongst the rest of mine, would be to make the class student-centered plus providing more opportunities for every single
pupil to interact freely. (Less TTT)

Timetable Fit
Due to the fact my counterparts are themselves instructors. They have had ample exposure to a large number of readings and the basic prerequisite of grammatical structures (not quite
sure regarding ppp). (There are two teaching courses regarding natural speaking as well as listening before and right after the TP).

Anticipated Problems & Solutions

Student might encounter difficulties regarding the meaning plus slight differences in form. Problem1= • Students do not recognize 3rd conditional vs 2nd conditional, perhaps
misinterpreting them as the other conditionals: They hear If he had continued his education, he would have done sth entirely different Solution=clarifying the meaning plus form through
explaining more and checking on the board. Problem2= • Students make a conditional sentence and they don't write past participle form.
