Evaluation: initial through warm up Continuous through activities, observation, error correction Final through both oral and written feedback Assumptions: Ss have already been exposed to the Infinitive and will be able to establish a logical sequence of what they have already assimilated. Ss must be eager to participate. Class profile: These Ss are 6th graders and have already been introduced to English Grammar structure and vocabulary Anticipated problems: Taking into consideration that 2-3students have a poor level of knowledge and their motivation is rather low, the teacher expects that a part of her young students might not participate in the teaching/learning process as expected. Possible solution: If Ss do not understand the oral commands or the tasks, they will be translated into Romanian. Aids: Board, notebook, textbook, handouts, viewer Methods: brainstorming, word webs, conversation, reading, explanation, elicitation, description.
