Greeting and warming-up. I'll start my lesson with one of my experience with my friend. Would you like to hear my visit to the Hospital For Mental Disseases? O ne day I and one of my friend went to the Hospital For Mental Disseases to visit his mentally ill uncle. In order to go in to the hospital we approached to the entrance door for visitors. But we couldn't believe in or eyes. I asked my friend " Are you sure it is the correct time?". And he replied " Yes, I am". All of the doors were closed although it was the time for visiting.But there was a mad who was wandering around. My friend was also wearing a white t-shirt like a doctor and he asked him to open the door.But he asked " You are a doctor, aren't you?"." Yes, I am".He replied. My friend returned and asked me "He is a mad person, isn't he?". "Yes, I think he is.". After we have learned that he is a worker who works there.

      WHILE TEACHING(35 MINS)
      Activity 1( 10 mins.): I'll bring some pictures to the classroom and ask them some questions about the pictures.And if necessary I'll use mime and body language.Before showing the pictures I'll ask them some questions like " You are happy today,aren't you?" "Ali is absent today isn't he?" " You are hardworking and wonderful students aren't you?". And I will wait for their answers and try to have them give appropriate answers for the questions.
1- What can you see in the picture?
2-Where are they?
3- There is only one ball,isn't there?
4- They are sleeping, aren't they?
5- There isn't a cat, is there?
6- They aren't in a train, are they?
7- The girl is very sweet ,isn't she?
8-The boy is sleeping on a pillow,isn't he?
9- There are four boys and three women, aren't there?
10- The boy is looking towards the objective, isn't he?

(There are are two different pictures.In the first picture there is a boy,girl,ball,dog and a pillow in a car at the back side of it.The boy is sleeping on a pillow.And dog and the girl are also sleeping.In the second picture there is a shop and a woman standing in front of it.There are also two girls and four boys. One of the boys is looking directly towards the objective.And one of the girls is so shy.)

      Activity 2 (10 mins.): After the first activity I'll show the same two pictures and ask "The boy is sleeping,isn't he? and then answer it by myself."Yes, he is."I'll ask them to repeat it a few times.Then I'll say oly the part "They are not in a train,........."And want them to complete the missing parts of the sentence and give the answer.This should be applied to all of the questions asked in first activity.

     Activity 3 (7 mins): In this activity I'll create some real atmospheres in class which can be used for tag questions.For example; I'll call five students to the door and ask the questions: "There are five students near the door,aren't there?"And I'll wait for the answer.If some of the students make a mistake I'll wait for the others to correct them, if they can't,I'll repeat the correct form of it.If the weather is sunny I'll ask " What a wonderful day,isn't it?" By the way the students will get accustomed to some phrases unconsciously.

   Activity 4 (8 mins): Now, I'll divide the class into two groups.And each group is required to choose a group leader to say three sentences that they were wanted to make related to tag questions about the pictures I showed. ( This is different from the other two). And which group make the most interesting and correct ones will have chocolates during the break from me.(I make this as reinforcement helps learning process).

   POST TEACHING ACTIVITY (5 MINS): I'll call four students to the board and divide them into two groups.One by one each pair make a dialogue of course by using tag questions and every pair has 2,5 mins to achieve this task.
    As Homework:I'll want them to write a short dialogue between themselves and s.o. whom they want to do.The next lesson will start having some different students read what they have prepared.
