The T will start with the question “Have you ever had to introduce yourself quickly to someone important, like in a job interview or networking event?” Then share a simple example of a bad elevator pitch and a good one. Ask students which one is more effective and why.

The T will share an example of an elevator pitch from a video, break down the pitch and go over each part of the STAR method. S (Situation) T (Task) A (Action) R (Result). The T will also highlight useful phrases and make a list on board.

The T will ask students to work in pairs. Each student will take turns delivering a 30-60 second elevator pitch based on the STAR method, introducing themselves in a professional context. She will walk around and listen, providing support if needed.

The T will distribute a handout with a STAR method template and ask students to fill out the template with information relevant to their professional background or future goals. Encourage them to think about: Situation: What is their job or experience? Task: What responsibilities or challenges have they faced? Action: What actions did they take to achieve results? Result: What was the outcome? Did they improve something? Achieve a goal?

Encourage peer feedback: “What did you like about your partner’s pitch?” or “How could your partner make their pitch even more impactful?”

The T will write key sentences on the board along with the correct use of tenses. She will also elicit the correct form and pronunciation of key words.

The T will provide a worksheet with sentence starters or vocabulary to help students structure their pitch. The students will deliver their revised pitch to a different partner, ensuring they apply the language and structures they have practiced.
