Procedure (44-59 minutes)
T welcomes Ss and start a casual conversation by saying "What are you doing during this quarantine?"
T shows slide 2 and says to Ss: Look at this question (Are you a live wire or a couch potato?) Can you guess what that means? T gives a few seconds for Ss to give some ideas. Ss shares what they think it means Problem: Ss may not know what a Live Wire is. Solution: T shows slide 3 with images of a live wire / a couch / a potato
T provides Ss with a link to the next activity and says: "here, you tick what is TRUE for you. You have 3 minutes" ICQ: Is there right or wrong questions? No. I pick what is true for me. After, T says: "Check with your partner: how many in common do you have?" Check in private chat. You have 2 minutes. After pair checking, T invites Ss to share answers and gives a minute for them to answer. Then, T shows slides 3 and ask: "In general, Are you a live wire or a couch potato? Is it different now in quarantine?" T gives a minute for Ss to answer
T comes back to the Form (sharing screen) and scan the sentences. T elicits the two different structures we can find.
T shows slide 5 and ask Ss to answer on public chat what is the answer for those two questions. CCQs for "She is going to buy a new computer" Does she have a new computer? No Is her plan to buy a new computer? Yes CCQs for "She would like to buy a new computer" CCQ’s: Is her plan or her wish? Wish Will she buy it? We don’t know Does she have a new computer? No T elicits more examples inviting to use negative and interrogative form and writes them on slide 6 T also adds: Is "I’d like" more polite than “I want”? yes (if not said yet) Have you heard "Would you like some tea/coffee?" What does it mean? is a polite way to offer something. more polite than want. T makes sure Ss understand "I Would Like" is a polite way to say "I want"
