partner will have to mention one positive aspect of the introduced S. (* From now on T clarifies the meanings of all the words Ss do not understand by using flashcards, mimics, or examples they can understand). T asks Ss if they know the TV show, “The Walking Dead”. (“Who knows „The Walking dead‟? Who likes it? Do you know the story? What‟s it about? What is the world like? Are there people on the streets? Among others.”) T divides the class into 6 teams of 3 and 1 of 4 Ss. She tells them that every time they have to work in groups, they will have to do it with the same people they are going to work now. T asks Ss to choose a name for the team. They have to bring the name for the next lesson. T asks each team to pick a card. Each card has one character of “The Walking Dead”, and on the reverse there are some characteristics of him/her. (Attachment #1) T asks each team to read about the character they have on the card they chose. T tells Ss that the lessons will be always divided between life before the apocalypse and life after it. And to set the difference, there will be a sign on the blackboard that will be turned accordingly. (Attachment #2) T asks Ss to tell the class a little bit about the character on the card. T now asks Ss “What are „doctor‟, „delivery’, „lawyer’, „hunter’?” T now writes “JOBS” on the blackboard, and she asks students to mention the jobs they know/remember. T now asks Ss the difference between e.g. “doctor” or “lawyer”, and “delivery” or “hunter”. (Attachment #3) T asks them to make a chart on their folders with one column for jobs and another for professions and to group the words on the blackboard into those two categories. (Attachment #4) T asks Ss if any of them works, what they do, if they like it etc. T then asks each student to tell her what they want to be. T gives Ss a sheet of paper with an incomplete card, and asks them to make their own datasheet, but completing only some points (name, age, job/profession). T explains that they will have to complete it pretending that
