PAIR-WORK • Tell students they will now work in pairs. • With their partner, they have to compare and contrast both stories and brainstorm ideas on who can be believed and what happened that night. • They will have 4 minutes for this task. • Manually create Break-out Rooms. Each pair must have a student who read Bill's version and a student who read Myrna's version. • Set the timer for 4 minutes with 10 seconds notice. • Open the Break-out Rooms. • Monitor Break-out Rooms for students' language and any other potential needs. • Send everyone to Main Room once the time’s up.

• Open the Google Slides: https://bit.ly/38otYX6. • Share screen. • Tell students that there are some phrases that are useful to compare and contrast stories: according to, claimed that, insisted that, someone said that..., whereas someone said that. MEANING • They shall start by figuring out the meaning of these phrases. • Stop sharing screen. • Open the Google Slide: https://bit.ly/2ZuxzPA. • Share screen. • Tell students that for that, they will do a small task in which they will match sentences that have those phrases with sentences that have the same meaning. • Model how they will drag and drop those sentences in the Google Slides. • Tell the students they will have 2 minutes for this task. • Stop sharing screen. • Share links through Chatbox. Tell students to select the link that has their own name (names shall be added in the lesson as we get to know the new learners). 1. S1: https://bit.ly/2ZuxzPA 2. S2: https://bit.ly/2VHzGyf 3.

ICQs: Do you have to drag and drop to match the sentences? Yes. How long do you have for this task? 2 minutes. APPROPRIACY • Open once again the Google Slide: https://bit.ly/2ZuxzPA and share screen. • Elicit the appropriacy of these sentences. They are all formal. • Check understanding by asking where could these phrases be used, and the differences of using them in comparison to just using the phrase "said that". PRONUNCIATION • Continue working with the same Google Slides. • Ask students to identify what words are stressed and whether the intonation is rising or falling at the end of each sentence. • Use the annotate function in Zoom's Screenshare to write down students' answer. • Drill. • For "claimed that" and "insisted that", draw the attention of the students towards the elision of /d/ in both cases, give an oral model and drill. • For "whereas", draw their attention on the stress in the second syllable, give and oral model and drill. • Stop sharing screen. FORM • Open the Google Slides presentation: https://bit.ly/2YTchvJ. • Share screen. • Tell the students you will now perform a task to understand the structure of these phrases. • They will have to put in order the words of each sentence, and label each part of the sentence by dragging and dropping the options that are already on screen. • Model the first answer with the class. • Tell the students they will have 3 minutes for this task. • Stop sharing screen. • Share links through Chatbox. Tell students to select the link that has their own name (names shall be added in the lesson as we get to know the new learners). 1. S1: https://bit.ly/2YTchvJ 2. S2: https://bit.ly/3eWVygT 3.

S12: https://bit.ly/2VGeGYR • Stop sharing screen. • Monitor Google Slides for pace, answers and potential needs. • Go over sentences that were difficult for the students. ICQs: Do you have to order the words in each sentence? Yes. Do you have to label each part of the sentence? Yes. How long do you have for this task? 3 minutes.

• Tell students they will now do their main speaking task. • Open the Genially presentation: https://bit.ly/3eYlmZL. • Share screen. • They will do this activity with their partner. • By comparing and contrasting Bill's and Myrna's stories, their objective is to come up with what really happened that night. • Ask them to use strong arguments in their reasoning, as well as the language we reviewed if they find it useful. • Stop sharing screen. • Send students once again the links of Myrna's and Bill's key quotes in case they want to review them in their discussions through Chatbox (Bill´s: https://bit.ly/386XCjK, Myrna´s: https://bit.ly/38bp0gv) • For this activity, they will have 10 minutes. • Manually recreate Break-out Rooms.
