T greets Ss and shares screen. T presents two situations where one might tip, and nominates two Ss to share what they would normally tip in their country, and T will share a norm from her country.
T shares text with Ss (Google forms) Asks Ss to take 2 minutes to read the text for a general understanding and answer two T/F questions. 1. Tipping customs can differ from country to country. (T) 2. While it could be seen as rude to not tip, it is never seen as rude to tip. (F) T asks Ss to check their answers with a peer via via private message. OCFB
T shares new Google forms link In breakout rooms, Ss will try to identify as many of the four synomyns for the highlighted words as possible (2 minutes) T will DEMO the first word before sending Ss to breakout rooms OCFB - T will nominate 1 S to identify one word's synomyn, repeat for remainder
MEANING and FORM T will ask approx. 1 - 2 CCQ's about meaning and 1 - 2 Q about form for each synonym pair, nominating Ss 1. to work out - to figure out If I'm figuring out a problem, do I already know the answer? (Yes.) If I tell my friend I'm still working out the details for a party, are the details set or could they change based on the information I receive? (They could change) Transitive - intransitive - Do these verbs need an object? (Or can I say "I figure out"?) (yes) If I say "I'm going to work out," does that have a different meaning then, "I'm going to work it out?" dilemma - problem Is being in a dilemma typically unpleasant? (Yes) Is "problem" an adjective or a noun? Can it be the other? (Typically noun, but can sometimes be used as an adjective) obligatory - compulsory If a task is obligatory, or compulsory, am I expected to complete it? (Yes) Will there typically be consequences I don't do something that is compulsory? (Yes) Are these adjectives or nouns? (Adjectives) Can we use these to describe people, as in, Jessica is so compulsaory? (No) insulted - offended If we have a misunderstanding, and then I feel insulted, did you hurt my feelings or did I hurt your feelings? (You hurt my feelings) However, if I insulted you during an agrument, did I hurt your feelings or did you hurt my feelings? (I hurt your feelings) Adjective vs verb chase - pursue If I am chasing someone, do I hope to catch up to them? (Yes) If I am pursuing a goal, is it guaranteed to be accomplished? (No, you're just trying) If I am chasing something, do I have to be physically running after it? (No) Requires an object? (yes) PRONOUNICATION dilemma, compulsary, obligatory, pursue T models natural pronouniciation, asks Ss to repeat T asks Ss to identify number of syllables
Ss will complete a fill-in-the blank task individually (1 - 2 minutes) T will DEMO the first blank Ss will peer-check via private message (1 - 2 minutes) OCFB
Ss will discuss the following prompts in breakout rooms about traveling (4-5 minutes): Do you remember any difficulties or issues you experienced while traveling? Did you experience good service while you traveled (restaurants, hotels, taxis, etc.)? Did you tip? Did you think any of the locals’ behavior was strange or hard to understand? T will monitor and note student language errors T will nominate 2 Ss to share what their group discussed DEC T will write anoynoumous examples of student language on board, ask how it could be improved
