Teacher will ask students "What’s one question you can ask someone the first time you meet? (NOT What’s your name or Where are you from)" to try to generate top-down (?) processing of original vocabulary related to the upcoming topic. Google Slide 1: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13Yfn4ibCfgWs96-9pgFolCraFAdwJA2ekmw5tbYkoxQ/edit?usp=sharing Working with their partner, they will take 2 minutes to think of a question, then the group will meet to discuss their ideas with the teacher.

Students will attempt to guess the meaning of 3 words; retired, optimist and recurring from a Google form, selecting the correct option from multiple choice questions. They will do this alone first, as well as the form questions where they will identify if the word is a noun, adjective or verb in a chart. The meaning will then be discussed as a group, the teacher will check with CCQs and model sentences. Pronunciation will be checked individually then chorally.

Students will listen to an audio and will write down any key words (or questions) they can hear to help them understand the theme of this audio. It will be stressed that they can only listen ONE TIME to try to catch what it’s about. Google form: https://forms.gle/nKaYtF7L4nc1jTj99 This task will take 3 minutes only. *(If needed, an additional partner discussion time of 2 minutes will be added (to the first 3 minutes) followed by 1 minute of feedback).

Students will read the questions in the detailed task aloud as a group, then will listen again to this same audio one time. As they listen, they will select the correct option for each question from the multiple choice options. If necessary, they can listen again in pairs after they’ve broken into pairs to check their answers. The initial listening should take 2 minutes, if a second time is needed they can play the link in their breakout rooms and discuss their answers with their partner.

Slide 2: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13Yfn4ibCfgWs96-9pgFolCraFAdwJA2ekmw5tbYkoxQ/edit?usp=sharing Students will think of 2 questions they can ask AFTER they’ve said “hello, my name is, I’m from...” to continue the dialogue with another person. A slide will be shown with hints OR they can write two questions similar to the ideas just heard in the audio about health, dreams, jobs...This will encourage them to use vocabulary they’ve just learned and/or previous knowledge related to this topic. They will have 3 minutes, after they will join with a partner and talk with them for 5 minutes asking and answering each other's questions. Then we will return to the main room for 2 minutes to share ideas and finish the lesson. Students will be encouraged to text any questions they have to me via the chat box at any time throughout this stage.
