• Teaching approach: Communicative. It's the best approach to foster communication and acquire new vocabulary.

• Materials and resources: Chart, photocopies, pictures, video, game.

• Integration of skills: reading, by reading a dialogue about the topic, speaking by describing the river coast of our town and listening by listening to a video.

• Seating arrangement: in pairs, looking at the board.

• Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: there are many interruptions because the secretary or the preceptors have to give messages to the students, but maintaining them occupied with work will help them not to lose focus.

• Potential problems students may have with the language: there might be problems with the difference between the pronunciation of the words where and were. Some practice, like reading and speaking, using questions or statements that include both words will help students.

• Assessment: their ability to talk about past actions and the places in town.

Routine (3')

- Good morning everyone! How are you today? I'm very glad, I hope you are glad to see me again.

- Can anyone tell me the date please? I'll write it on the board.

Warm up (7')

- Today we're going to start by watching t a video of a girl who has a band and wants to tell us what her town is like. In order to help you understand the town, I have brought a poster with a map just like the one the girl describes, look at it. As in the video you won’t be able to see pictures of the places, the poster I brought will help you understand the song better.

- Now let’s watch the video.

Development (67')

Activity 1 (10')

- Now it's time to practice! I'll give each of you a photocopy with the pictures of the poster and the song, so you’ll paste them in your folders. Also, on the same photocopy, you’ll find the names of the places, which you’ll have to paste below the correct picture.

Activity 2 (15')

- A very expensive statue has been stolen, but nobody knows who the thief is. I'll give each of you a copy of the dialogue between Detective White and some witnesses. You can read it in pairs and then read the sentences that are below the text. All the sentences are wrong, so, according to the dialogue, correct the wrong information. You’ll work in pairs for this activity.

Mystery at the town

There wasn’t a man with her.Person 2 - There were two strange people in the bus station at quarter to four. There was a strange woman.Person 3 - There weren’t any people in the park at four o’clock. It was rainy at that moment.Person 4 - There was a man at the train station at four o’clock. He was in a hurry. His bag was very big. There wasn’t a woman with him.

Activity 3 (15')

- Lets continue working in pairs. Some of you are going to receive a kind of chart and your mate is going to receive a different chart. The idea is that you complete your chart with the information your mate is going to give you. For this activity, you’ll have to read the dialogue with your partner and complete it with the missing words you listen.
