1. T. will instruct for Ss to look at ross emotions and whats friends 'could' be saying SS will watch a short video from an episode of "Friends" on MUTE where it will be paused at Ross where he looks upset > Elicit his emotion from Ss "How does he feel?" Then play where his friends are talking (still MUTED) to elicit the context. 2. Ask Ss what they think the friends are saying to ross? 3. Discuss in pairs/groups - FB - Get a few ideas but not too many
1. T gives HO where Ss have to put the correct word under the picture that they think is right 2. PP for FB with Answer Key - quick FB and little of drilling on specific words like "thirsty", "worried" 3. Ss will then get another HO where they have to match the problem(adj.) to a solution 4. T. will monitor to check if Ss are understanding the phrases and if not T. will note down common errors and go over meaning of phrases and form or pronunciation. 5. FB through PP and quick CCQs
1. After Pre-teach vocab & phrases T. to elicit what Q would you ask to find out these emotions? "What's the matter?" 2. T will show a visual of two people and ask what they think is happening? and elicit dialogue together with the class. 3. Ss will then have a modal of a dialogue and T. will have Ss place a problem and solution they have learnt earlier 4. Students to discuss in pw/gw what else they can use that can relate to the visual 5. Monitor & note down errors 6. WC-FB very short
1. T to show PP slide of three marker sentences from dialogue and to clarify the meaning (negative/positive?) - (rude/polite) - Give copy of the dialogue HO so Ss could write form and stress to take home for themselves 2. To show intonations, sentence stresses and connected speech 3. Drill pronunciation and especially intonations - show that if stress was on another word it could change the meaning completely 4. CCQS!!!!! 5. WCFB

1. Give cut up HOs and have students find their partner (problem/solution) practice without the text using functional language 2. Delayed error-correction if time
-T. to note down common errors Ss are making and has them try to correct it first WCFB
