ROUTINE: (2 minutes)
I will greet students, I will say: ‘hello! How are you?’ and I will write the date on the board.
Purpose: to greet my students and create a good atmosphere

WARM UP: (5 minutes)

I will say that we are going to work with gerunds, I will ask: do you know what gerunds are? Commented [AV3]: Omit this kind of comment. It is not
relevant for students at this stage of the lesson. You must catch
I will write some examples on the board: their attention.
You should contextualize your lesson. You may say, for instance,
that you are exhausted because you´ve been doing house chores
- I hate doing the ironing for hours, and then give some examples using hate /love, etc.
- I like cleaning my room.

Focus students’ attention on the use of ING in the verb. Ask form more examples. Commented [AV4]: Instead of asking for examples, you may
ask them about themselves. What house chores do you hate /like /
not mind doing?
purpose: to revise items from the previous lesson and to involve students into the topic

PRESENTATION: (15 minutes)

I will give students a short text in which gerunds are clearly used and connected with the
vocabulary they have learnt.

KIM AND ANGIE ARE ON A MISSION. Commented [AV5]: Why don´t you add a picture of them?

Kim and Angie want to clean the world! They are the stars of the TV series ‘Hhow clean is your
house’? Kim and Angie say that the show is a successful because cleaning is an important part of
everyone’s life. Doing housework is their passion. Angie likes cooking and she loves cleaning the
kitchen, but she hates making beds. Kim likes doing the ironing, but she hates cleaning the bath.

In this week’s episode of ‘how How clean is your house’? Kim and Angie visit the house of four
students; they hate doing housework. They never do the washing-up, take out the rubbish or
clean the bathroom. Their house is a mess! Teaching them the basic of housework isn’t easy, but
in 24 hours the students have a clean house.
There are hundreds of them online!

We are going to read the text together, we focus our attention to the words in bold, ask some
comprehension questions such as: what are the girls’ names?, what is their hobby?, where do
they work?

I will also bring an extra copy in which students have to complete the sentences using gerunds,
the sentences are from the text. The purpose is to reinforce the -ing in the verbs by reading
and writing.

1) Complete the sentences using information from the text.

a- Angie likes ________________ and ____________________, but she doesn’t like

____________________

b- The four students _________ _______________ housework

 c- Kim doesn’t like __________________________, but she likes _______________

Transition: very good!!!

DEVELOPMENT: (35 minutes)

Activity 1: (10 minutes) book page 41 ex 2

Purpose: to check students’ understanding on the use of gerunds. We will work on the following
sentences; I will check the understanding of verbs before starting. We are going to do the
exercise together.

Transition: great!! Now look at exercise 4

Activity 2: (10 minutes)

Purpose: to reinforce questions and answers using gerunds.

I will say that they have to look at the emojis, what do you think they mean? I will elicit Commented [AV6]: You maye ven work with emojis from the
onset, when you provide some examples of your own and elicit
information and clarify if they don’t realize what they mean. students´likes and dislikes.

Collaborative work: students have to make questions and answer them depending on the emoji
they have in each sentence. I will nominate students to make questions and answers.

Transition: well done students!! Great job!

will provide some examples on the board to guide them

e.g: I love using my computer
