T presents a scenario to Ss: You and your good friend live in different countries. You want to tell your friend to come visit you for a special occasion. T guides Ss to guess the correct word that goes in the blank (invitation): So, you will extend a personal ____________ to your friend. T asks Ss which method of invitation they prefer: a) Send your friend a quick WhatsApp message. b) Give your friend a phone call. c) Send your friend a short and personal email. Ss answer. This is a short open class discussion. In the next slide, T makes Ss guess which method of invitation this lesson will be about. In the slide title, "Via Email" is hidden. T asks Ss about the picture: How is this woman sending an invitation? T reveals the "Via Email" part of the slide title and makes the lesson topic clear.

T shows Ss the main text, which is a short email. In the email, Levi invites his friend Kevin to come visit him in London. T instructs Ss to read the email and pay attention to the structure (how it is organized) and the language. T gives Ss 2 min to read. T tells Ss that before they analyze the email, they will learn some useful and possibly new vocabulary. In the next slide, T shows Ss five new words and one new phrase. T tells Ss they just need to familiarize themselves with the new vocabulary. T begins clarifying the Meaning (M) and Form (F) of each new word/phrase.

Having clarified some vocabulary, T returns to the email. Ss see numbers ending specific sections of the email and a box with letters next to the email.

The correct section-description pairs are as follows: [0] D - Recipient and subject line [1] F - The greeting [2] G - Vacation idea proposal (invitation) [3] A - General description of vacation [4] C - Specific details about something important to the recipient [5] E - Call-to-action [6] B - The closing T then instructs Ss to answer four questions in BORs (pairs/trios).

T switches to the Jamboard. Frame 2 presents clear instructions for the writing task: Write an email to a friend or relative who lives in another country (or city). Invite them to your country. 50-100 words. Try to remember and follow the sample email. T makes it clear that each person has an assigned frame with his/her name on it, and that each person should only write (type) on his/her assigned frame. T shows the frames one by one so Ss know. T notifies Ss that the instructions are on frame 2. T asks ICQs to ensure Ss understand the task and rules. T shares the Jamboard file and ensures everyone can open it and type in the provided text box. Ss perform the task individually for about 12 min.

T goes back to the Slides and shows Ss a writing checklist from IELTS. T gives instructions for the peer-editing task: You will now edit each other's emails using this checklist. I will message you a name to edit in the chat box. Go to the frame with that person's name on it and edit his/her email using the checklist. If the email has no errors, you don't need to change anything. Whatever you add, please put it in brackets. T asks ICQs to ensure Ss understand the peer-checking and -editing task. As Ss edit, T monitors their edits live on the Jamboard. After enough time has elapsed, T reviews everyone's edits and makes some final edits if necessary. T thanks Ss for participating and ends the class.
