3. Personal pedagogical aims:

- to adjust my language level to the level of the students - to learn to make smoother transition between exercises

4. Assumptions:
I think that the students will be interested in the topic, because I know that children like to watch films and Buffy- the vampire slayer is a new film, which they must know.

5. Anticipated problems and possible solutions:

I assume that I might have difficulty adjusting my language level to the level of the students, but I will try to ask them constantly if it is all clear and if there are some difficulties I will try to use vocabulary which they will be familiar with.

6. Materials/Equipment/Aids:
Energy Students Book, Black board, Handouts

Stage Stage 1 Warm-up

Procedure I introduce myself. Do you like watching films? Can you name some titles of films? What type of films do you like watching - dramas, thrillers, comedies, fantasies? Take a look at the picture on page 42? Do you recognise this girl? Have you heard of the film BuffyThe Vampire slayer? Do you like it? Do you know what does the word vampire means? Share with your partner for two minutes what do you know about vampires. After the discussion some Ss share their opinion with the class. Well today we are going to have a lesson about the actress which plays Buffy and I hope you will enjoy it. T writes the topic on the board. Students have to read the text on page 43 by themselves ignoring the unfamiliar words and trying to understand the overall meaning of the text. T tells them that after they read the text they will have to work in pairs and answer the questions from ex 2 on page 42. They can use the text to find the answers to the question. T asks them if they have enjoyed the text. After the pair discussion some students will share their answers with the class.
