TASK: Students will play a crossword puzzle in pairs. Each student will
receive a crossword in which some words will be missing. Each learner
will have to describe and or define the words in his crossword in order
to help his partner complete his. To play this game, learners will learn
about wild animals and new words related to them. They will have to
make use of relative clauses and they will have to guess words
according to the descriptions given by their partner.

Steps of the Lesson

PRE-TASK

1) Introduction of the topic: Students will be told about the

final task (playing a crossword game). As they will have to
prepare to carry out the task, they will do a reading
activity as an enabling task. Students read an article
about exotic animals in which relative clauses are used. As
a pre-reading activity they will be asked about some
pictures and to predict what the article will say about
those animals. As a general task they will check if their
predictions were right and as a specific task they will
answer some questions about it.

TASK

2) Task: In groups, students play a crossword game and the

teacher monitors to see what vocabulary and structures
they are using.
3) Planning: after carrying out the task, each group will
prepare to report to the class about how they played the
game. The teacher will help them if necessary.
4) Report: Students report to the class and the teacher will
give directions so as to get students do what is expected.
Students can give examples and show to the rest of the
class how they played the game. The teacher will give
feedback if necessary.

LANGUAGE FOCUS

5) Analysis: the students do consciousness about the

language that had been used in the task. Some examples
can be written on the board to help students notice the
language. The teacher can elicit the rules of relative
clauses and give explanations if it is needed.
6) Practice: At this step the students do some practice from
the book in which they have to join 2 sentences by using
relative clauses.
