YUSEF SAYED
@YusefS How do I get to Putnam’s?
Ask FoR And gIVe dIRectIons
UNIT 4 T-40
LESSON 3 ASK FOR AND GIVE DIRECTIONS
• Read the Lesson title aloud. Ask, What do you do when you need directions? (For example, ask someone, use GPS, ask my phone, look at a map)
• Then focus on Yusef’s social media message. Read it aloud and ask, What is another way to say this? (Where is Putnam’s?) Then ask, What do you think Putnam’s is?
Allow Ss to guess. (It’s the name of the restaurant Dan suggests in Lesson 2, 4A.)
1 VOCABULARY
• Read the Vocabulary topic aloud. Then ask Ss to scan the pictures and captions.
• Have Ss listen. Then have them listen and repeat.
LANGUAGE NOTE A street is a public road that has buildings on it. In the past, an avenue was usually bigger and wider than a street, but today the distinction is not as clear. Avenue is used in street names; for example, Springfield Avenue. Other common endings for street names are Road, Lane, Terrace, and Way.
• Have Ss preview each pair of images. Focus on item 4 and make sure they understand that 4A represents two blocks and 4B represents three blocks. Then have Ss listen and complete the exercise.
• Bring the class together and go over the answers.
• Focus Ss on the list of places on the yellow note.
Review meanings as needed.
• Call on two Ss to read the example conversation. Point out that we use the preposition on with the name of the street where a place is located. Draw a street on the board. Label it Cherry St. Then draw a house alongside it. Say, The house is on Cherry Street. Give a few more examples and write them on the board.
(For example, The library is on Main Street. There is a broken traffic light on Sandford Avenue.)
• Circulate as Ss talk about places in their
neighborhoods. Then bring the class together and invite volunteers to share.
2 GRAMMAR
• Warm up with books closed. Write on the board: I take a cab to work. / Take a cab to work. Elicit or explain the difference. (In the first statement, a person describes how he / she gets to work; in the second statement, a person is telling someone else to take a cab.)
• Have Ss look at the grammar chart. Explain that the imperative can be used to give directions, instructions, commands, etc.
• Focus on the Affirmative. Point out that we use the base form of a verb in the affirmative. Read the affirmative examples.
• Focus on the Negative. Point out that we use Don’t + the base form of a verb. Explain that in spoken English, we usually use the contraction. Using the full form makes the command sound stronger and more serious; for example, Do not turn left. Do not go to that restaurant.
• In pairs, have Ss practice reading the items in the chart with and without please, noticing how please softens the tone of the imperative.

UNIT 4 T-41
3 LISTENING
• Direct Ss’ attention to the map. Read the directions aloud. Ask, What kind of conversation will we hear?
(a phone conversation) What do you think it will be about? (directions)
• Have Ss listen. If appropriate, play the audio again.
• Then call on a volunteer to answer the question. (Dan is telling Yusef to walk to the restaurant because of traffic.) Follow up by asking, What does Yusef ask Dan?
(how to get to Putnam’s)
• Read the Listening Skill aloud. Ask, What are some examples of direction words? Write them on the board.
(For example, Turn right, Go straight) What are some examples of street names? (For example, Livingston Avenue, High Street)
• Explain that knowing what to listen for helps a listener focus on the most important information.
• Play the audio and have Ss listen for direction words and street names and draw the route on the map.
Encourage Ss to use a pencil. Then play the audio again for Ss to check the route they drew.
• Have Ss compare routes in pairs. Play the audio again if helpful.
• For lower-level Ss, take notes on the board as the audio is playing:
- go north on Cooper Plaza to 3rd Street
- turn left and walk three blocks to Washington Street
- turn right
- keep walking up Washington
- It’s about halfway up the block on the right OPTION For additional listening practice for higher- level Ss, challenge them to write down the direction words and street names they hear.
EXTENSION Have Ss role-play the phone
conversation between Yusef and Dan, referring to the directions on their map. Explain that the role play will be an interpretation, and not exactly what is on the recording.
• Focus Ss’ attention on the map. Point out that in 3A and 3B, the starting point was TSW Media. In this exercise, there are two different starting points: the park and the library. Explain that Ss will work in pairs. One partner will give directions to Putnam’s Grill from the park, and the other partner will give directions from the library.
• Refer Ss to the example conversation to get started.
Instruct them to look at the Vocabulary in 1A on page 40 if they need help.
4 TRY IT YOURSELF
• Read the directions aloud. Have Ss work individually to create a simple map. Ask, What three things do you need to label on the map? (the school, streets, and the direction north)
• Then have Ss write directions from the school to another place nearby. Tell Ss, Don’t draw the route or label the place on your map.
• Read the directions aloud. Then have Ss practice giving and following directions. Remind them to swap roles.
EXTENSION Have Ss return to Yusef’s social media message at the beginning of the lesson. Ask a S to read it. Write it on the board: How do I get to Putnam’s? Then have a volunteer come to the board and write a reply to the post. (For example, Go north on Cooper Plaza. Turn left on Third St. Turn right on Washington St.)
LOOK FOR While Ss are completing the Try It Yourself activity, walk around the class and listen to Ss’
conversations. Listen to determine if Ss are correctly
✓ using vocabulary for getting around town
✓ using the imperative
TEACHING TIP Walk around and listen to Ss’
conversations. Take notes on errors, but don’t interrupt. This allows Ss to focus on fluency. After completing the activity, go over common problems as a class. If appropriate, have Ss repeat the exercise, using different places on their maps and talking to different people.
EXIT TICKET Write on the board: How do I get to ? [name a location that is walking distance from the school] Have Ss write their name and the answer to the question on a blank card or piece of paper.
Collect cards as Ss leave. Read the cards to identify areas for review and extra practice in later lessons and to identify individual Ss who may need additional practice.
