WARM-UP

Greeting

Checking attendence

Sing “Hello!” song

Introduce “I like” and ” I don’t like”

Prepare a board which should be divided into two sections: “likes” on the left and “dislikes” on the right (indicated with a smiley and unhappy face). First, draw a food or drink in the ‘like’ column. say “Yummy!” and rub your tummy and smile. Say “I like bananas”. Next, draw something in the ‘dislike’ column. Again, get everyone to shout out what you have drawn. Say “Yuk!” or “It stinks!” and grimace. Say “I don’t like tomatoes”. To make sure everyone understands, draw another food/drink item in the ‘like’ and ‘dislike’ columns, using the same structures and gestures as before. 

Controlled Practice saying “I like ~” and “I don’t like ~”

Put the students into pairs. They are going to make sentences using the food and drink items on the board. Model with a student first so everyone understands what to do: Teacher says “banana” – choosing an item from the board. The student has to make a sentence (e.g. “I like bananas”), The answer should be the student’s own true answer. Then in pairs, students take turns in choosing a food item for their partner to make a sentence about. Pairs keep talking until they have gone through all of the items on the board.

WRAP-UP

Checking students’ understanding about expressing like and dislike: Asking students to sing “I don’t like cheese” song and make facial expression to express their like and dislike.
