Ask Ss general questions about shopping: What are the different things you can go shopping for? What do you like shopping for? Do you buy all your food on a particular day or do you pick things up everyday? Where do you like to shop? Do you like shopping in an open market or closed shopping centre?
The teacher will have a shopping bag with various food containers in it. Teacher will show some of the containers to the Ss to elicit the words. Some of the words will be elicited through stories. Words are: bottle, can, carton, jar, packet, bunch, tin, tub, and punnet. Once the words have been elicited, they will be concept checked (e.g. Can I drink from a packet?) and drilled. Then they will be written on the board and stresses marked out.
Ss will work in pairs or groups of three and fill out the HO with different foods that come in the different containers listed. Teacher will write sentence 'I think a _____ of _____ costs around 1 TL'. Ss will be asked to discuss what prices they think the various items that they have listed cost. For feedback ask a Ss to give a sentence for each of the various containers.
Shopping game: Ss will split into two groups, and be given the cut out words for the game. Groups will work as quickly as they can to stick the relevant words under the shop titles 'Shopping Centre' and 'Butcher'. Ss will sit down and then be given an answer key. They will go and check each others answers.
