Input materials and instructional strategies

lead-in: at home Ss study the samples of commercials and written advertising materials and prepare the collection of persuasive means/forms in commercials and leaflets and put them in the worksheet prepared by T Module 5-Task 2-Activity 2a (OUT-OF-CLASS)
Lead-in: T explains SS that no matter whether they want to advertise their product in a leaflet or in a TV/internet commercial they must clearly show a link between technical features and benefits for the client. On top of it they should use persuasive language and attractive form. T gets the feedback about the persuasive means/forms in commercials and leaflets based on the out-of-class work. T explains the need of use of Passive Voice in persuasive language and revises its structure. Ss do the activity on passive sentences to prepare for using it in the next activity Module 5-Task 2-Activity 2b [20’]
Pair work: T goes together with the Ss through the stages of leaflet/advertising material preparation elements, each time explaining the given element. Ss in pairs get the worksheet with the information regarding detailed questions about each stage, they have to go through it together and fill it in with the outlined information regarding their specific product or service using passive structures (min. 4 times) (chosen in Activity 1g) Module 5-Task 2-Activity 2c and they write their information in the ’answers’ column
