Procedure (35-45 minutes)
Teacher will show pictures from SS book (A,B, and C) and ask the question: "Where do you think they are?" Why. This is to introduce the topic of party to the class.
Teacher will let SS know we will be listening to a short conversation at a party. But first we will go over some vocabulary together: Husband Accountant Neighbour/ neighbor Restaurant T. will also show SS pictures so they can have a clear understanding of the meaning as well as the form and pronunciation.
Have SS listen the conversation for the first time and compete activity 2a on SB pg. 12. Teacher will send link to google form to complete activity. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1IIHUBN85mtEa3cRWPoH9_LRGFKoR10_-3pAO56rh6gw/edit After recording ends, check answers with the answer key for SS to check their work themselves.
Have SS listen the conversation again, this time they will need to complete activity 2b. If a sentence is correct they will tick, but if the sence is wrong they must correct the mistake. After time is up, split them into breakout rooms and have them discuss their answers with their classmates (2-3 minutes) Once finished, return to main session and give feedback to the group
Put SS in breakout rooms (3-5 minutes) and have them discuss the following: Did you meet someone new at the last party you went to? If you don’t know anybody at a party, do you start conversations with strangers? Why or why not? What do you talk about? Bring SS back to main session and ask some to share what they discussed. Provide feedback to SS; pronunciation errors, etc.
