Procedure (43-45 minutes)
Share link to lesson Jamboard. Say: Hi class, today we have a very special lesson. We will be using the same text as Lorena’s lesson but, instead of talking about the weather, we are going to be learning new phrases to describe likes and dislikes. Instructions: First, I am going to send you to your breakout rooms. I want you to quickly read through this list of items and decide whether you like or dislike them, then discuss your answers with your partner. You have 2 minutes. Topics: cold weather hot weather swimming picnics (eating outside) snakes cooking photography (taking pictures) Instructions: Next, we are going to go over our answers by playing a game. It’s called “Like or Dislike.” I am going to say one of the topics you just discussed, and you will give thumbs up if you like it, and thumbs down if you dislike it. Ready? Let’s begin. Let students vote on each item/phrase. If time allows, ask a few students at random to quickly say what they like/dislike about a particular topic. Conduct OCFB
GIST TASK: Share link to Google Form. Instructions: read through the text on the Google form, then answer the questions individually and submit your response. You have 3 minutes. ICQ: Are you going to submit your response when you’re done? (yes) Learners answer individually Instructions: Now I am going to send you to your breakout rooms, I want you to discuss the answers you came up with as a group. You have 3 minutes. ICQ: What are you going to discuss? (the answers to the questions). Send learners to breakout rooms and have them check their answers in pairs. Conduct OCFB GUIDED DISCOVERY: Share link to Google Form. Say: Now that we have looked at the text in the context of like and dislikes, we are going to look at some ways of expressing likes and dislikes that Faisal, Marek, and Gina used in our text. Instructions: For this activity I am going to send you your breakout rooms and I want you to discuss the answers as a group and then submit your responses individually. You have 4 minutes. ICQ: How long do you have? (4 minutes) ICQ: Are you going to submit your responses individually when you’re done? (yes) Learners do guided discovery in pairs/small groups.
