Procedure (35-48 minutes)
Ss are going to see a short video and then I will ask them to answer me these questions: 1) Is the video interesting? 2) I will ask students if anything this like happened with them in their life?
I will ask Ss to read the text (exercise a), gist reading, and will ask them to read this through without to filling the gaps.
Ss will be asked in pair/groups to look at exercise b and put the listed adjectives and adverbs in the blanks of exercise a. Feedback will be done with whole class to check the answers. After that Ss will be asked to look at exercise d and complete these time expressions in pairs/groups Answers will be checked with whole class as open class feedback.
Ss will be asked in pairs/groups to go through the instructions of exercise e and decide which story to write and discuss what the plot is going to be. After they have selected the beginning sentence of the story i will guide them to plan the content as written in exercise f. I will remind students at this time to write only one story starting with one sentence. Once the instruction are completed i will ask them to start writing. Once they are completed and if there is time i will ask them to write another story of 120-180 words, organized in two or three paragraphs having variety of narrative tenses, adverbs, adjectives, and time expressions used to make the sequence of events clear. But if there is less time i will ask them to share your 50 words text on the wall and walk around the room and read which one is more interesting. etc.
Once they have completed writing text of 120-180 words, I will ask students feedback and error correction on their production
