Phases, stages and aims	Time	Procedure	Skills	Patterns of interaction
I.Preteaching phase	3min	T greets Ss and checks attendance.	-	Lockstep
II.Interactive teaching phase 1.Warm-up Aim: to know Ss' names, because this is the first lesson in this class guided by T.	2-3 min	T says: I don't know your names and comes closer to Ss' desk and ask individual S a question: What is your name? When S gives the answer T gives him/her a piece of paper with the proper Ss' name (prepared earlier), ask his/her to put the paper on desk in this way that T can see the name and do the same procedure with the rest of the class.	-	Lockstep
2. Short revision from the previous lessons Aim:to practice phrases useful in everyday life, e.g Good morning, Goodbye, Good evening, etc. and also to practice vocabulary connected with family, e.g mother, uncle,etc and numbers 1-100.	10-15min	T says words in Polish and Ss' task is to translate them into English. First T uses expressions to greet sb or to say goodbye, e.g. Mr, Mrs, Hello, then in the same way Ss revise Vocabulary relating to family and numbers. In case of numbers T varies activity and use also English words and Ss' task is to give Polish equivalent.	Speaking	Lockstep
3. Practice Aim: to practice asking after sb's and usage of possessive pronouns and to revise vocabulary relating to family. Controlled Practice Free Practice	5-7 min 10 min	Ss task is to practice the structure Are you...? in pairs (book, p.11, ex.4) In the meantime T walks around the class and control Ss' work, correct mistakes, if necessary. There are 11girls, so there is one girl without pair, so she joins to one of the pairs and they work in group. Ss get a kind of game. This activity helps to revise vocabulary and improves memorizing. Ss' task is to remember what is in the picture and describe members of the family to his/her partner without looking at names of members of family or relationship.

Lesson evaluation:

I think the objectives of the lesson were realised due to the fact that the class was prepared. On the other hand I have to say that there was small discipline problems because from time to time a few Ss talked to each other what makes a strange atmosphere. It was only for a short period of time and when they were admonished by T there was no problems with discipline until that moment. The strongest part of the lesson was that Ss participated in the lesson actively.
