The student has to act how he/she feels, according to a previous paper with these sentences ( I am so hot, I am really tired, I am really thirsty, I am so bored, I am so sleepy and I am so hungry). Then, the other students have to figure out the feeling ( What’s the matter with him/her?) and give advices ( Have a soda./ Why don’t you go swimming?). The last one should be ( I am so hungry, so go to a restaurant) to link to next topic.
Engage: Show a commercial about a fast food restaurant ( Friendly’s) and ask what the commercial is about, the content in it and the name of the restaurant.
Study: Ask students to put a dialog, about ordering food, in the correct order. Make the students classify the sentences into waiter speech and costumer speech. Correct it and show the possibility of changing vocabulary when is possible.
Activate: Ask students to make a real situation in a fast food restaurant, give them some time to prepare it and present to the class.
