I ask Ss for an example of something they are proud of I model by telling them about something I am myself proud of: having made and maintained friendship throughout the globe I let two to three students tell the class about something that makes them proud

I present them with examples of sentences and phrases they can use to discuss impressive achievements. I highlight two of these sentences along with two vocabulary words 1 - achievement 2 - Henry Ford's achievements have changed the world 3 - What I find especially impressive is that Steven McCurry has been working non-stop until today. 4 - impressive *see attached TLAS for detailed analysis and procedure for MFPA Further examples of impressive achievements are mentioned as examples throughout this stage.

I present them with three pictures of people who have achieved great things. Martin Luther King Jr, Maradona, Juan Gabriel As each photo is unveiled I ask them to tell me who the person is and what he has achieved. If they do not know who the person is, I tell them and describe their achievement. I ask them why the achievement is considered impressive. I ask them if they agree that their achievements are impressive. I ask them why and why not.

This stage contains two related tasks. Task 1: I ask them to think of someone who has achieved something impressive. I make it clear that this does not have to be a famous person and can be someone they know. I reiterate that "impressive" is subjective and that achievements can be personal. I tell them to provide details about the person, about the achievement, and what impact it may have had, and why they consider it impressive. I give them 4 minutes to think about this individually. I then put them into small groups via BORs and have them tell each other about their chosen person and achievement. I give them 6 minutes to do this. Task 2: I tell them I now want them to describe to their partners one of the achievement they learned about. They should choose an achievement that they also find impressive, but not their own. I place them back into new groups via BORs and give them 6 minutes to discuss

I ask if anyone wants to share either their own choice or one of the achievements they learned about. I allow two or three Ss to share and ask questions. I follow up with DEC.
