Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Speaking about the Olympics for 2 minutes. Teacher should prepare images and concepts within an anecdotal form to prepare students for the first set of questions to come. "This week is special. It’s the first time that the Summer olympics have been held in Japan since 1964, and only the third time they have been in Asia. Holding the olympics during a global pandemic wasn’t anyone’s first choice, but it looks like Japan, and the International Olympic Committee is determined to go ahead with the global sporting event. Maybe they think the logo is too well-designed to wait any longer." Teacher will then introduce some ideas that will be explored in breakout rooms.

Useful Language (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

Two useful language tasks have been created for this lesson. 1. Students will explore the difference between the English usage of "Do", "Go", and "Play" when describing activities, such as sports. 2. Time - Allowing, students will be given the opportunity to work with the teacher in describing which features of their favorite sport are more or less important.
