Procedure:

1. Introduction (10 minutes) a. Begin the lesson by asking students if they are familiar with phrasal verbs. Write the term “phrasal verbs” on the board and elicit any prior knowledge or examples from the students. b. Explain that phrasal verbs are combinations of verbs and particles (prepositions or adverbs) that have a different meaning from the individual words. Provide a few examples on the board (e.g., “look up,” “take off,” “give in”) and ask students to guess their meanings.

2. Presentation (15 minutes) a. Present a brief overview of the different types of phrasal verbs: separable, inseparable, and phrasal verbs with multiple meanings. b. Use visual aids or real-life examples to illustrate the meanings of phrasal verbs. For example, show a picture of someone “looking up” a word in a dictionary or “taking off” a jacket. c. Provide students with a handout containing a list of common phrasal verbs and their meanings. Discuss the examples together, clarifying any doubts or questions.

3. Practice (20 minutes) a. Divide the class into pairs or small groups. b. Distribute a set of sentences or short paragraphs containing phrasal verbs to each group. c. Instruct students to identify the phrasal verbs in the text and discuss their meanings within their groups. d. Monitor the groups and provide assistance as needed. e. Have each group share their findings with the class, discussing the context and meaning of the phrasal verbs they found.

4. Application (15 minutes) a. Provide students with a short story or authentic text that contains several phrasal verbs. b. Instruct students to read the text individually and underline or highlight any phrasal verbs they find. c. Discuss the text as a class, focusing on the usage and meaning of the phrasal verbs in context. d. Encourage students to share their interpretations and discuss any challenges they faced while identifying the phrasal verbs.

5. Production (15 minutes) a. Ask students to write a short paragraph or dialogue using at least three phrasal verbs they have learned. b. Allow students to work individually or in pairs. c. Collect and review the written work, providing feedback and corrections as necessary.

6. Conclusion (5 minutes) a. Recap the main points of the lesson, emphasizing the importance of understanding and using phrasal verbs in everyday English. b. Encourage students to continue practicing phrasal verbs in their reading, writing, and speaking activities.
