Lesson Plan

I. Warming up

Oh, my God! It’s not my day today… What shall I do? I’ve forgotten my purse at home. I was planning to have lunch at our school canteen and now it seems to me I am going to stay hungry. Would you be so kind to lend me some money? 2 “cucumbers” will be enough. I promise to give the money back tomorrow.
Haven’t you got pocket money? You have! Oh, thank you.
It is so good that you had pocket money and lent me some. Maybe you’ll make me still happier by saying all the expressions you know with the word MONEY? Look at the blackboard and follow the patterns:

V+money/Adj+money (pupils make phrases)

For our lesson today we also need phrases of agreement/disagreement as we are going to discuss a very important question of pocket money.

What am I looking for at our today’s lesson?

1) I am interested if you can use Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous speaking about your pocket money experience. 2 points
2) I’d like to know how well you know your topic vocabulary. 3 points.
3) I wonder if you can express your opinion on the problem. 5 points
