T presents Ss with six photos showing people who have had different experiences. In order to make them think about what could make those experiences interesting when turned into anecdotes, the T will ask: Have you experienced something similar? Or how would you feel in a situation like that? Ss will not answer the questions. T will ask them to think and make notes, if they want. They can also invent a story. Ss will be provided with prompt questions, as well.
Part 1 T will send Ss to BOR to tell each other their stories. She will say that the most important role is that of the listener so when Student A finishes telling the story both Ss will have to see whether Student B showed interest or not. (7') Part 2 Ss will change partners and repeat the activity, This time, listeners will have to use all the phrases and those telling the stories will have to add more detail if possible. (7')
T will focus both on good language and mistakes.
