On Google Jamboard, start with the question 'Do you have a good memory?' and show pictures of firsts with a list of the first things that can happen to someone, e.g. first car/pet, first time you met someone important in your life, first time at school, etc... Ask if they can remember these first things and check the boxes if they can.

I'll show a 50-second video of an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" showing when Ted met the love of his life for the first time in a bar. This video will set the scene for the following text with the Target Language. I'll put the students in breakout rooms for 3 minutes to discuss if they can remember the first time they met someone important in their lives. ICQs: a. How long do you have to discuss if you can remember the first time you met someone important in your life? 3 minutes.

I'll give Ss the following text with the target language highlighted, give them 2 minutes to read, and decide the best summary for it (on Google Forms) ICQs: a. What do you have to choose after you finish reading the text? Choose the best summary for the text, a or b. b. How long do you have to do this? 2 minutes. "I’LL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST TIME I met the woman who became my wife. I WAS WITH MY friend in a bar. I was shy and I didn’t like to meet new people. There were a lot of people and I saw this woman standing on the other side of the room talking to her friends. AT FIRST, I really wanted to speak to her but I just couldn’t. I FELT strange BECAUSE I didn’t know what to do so my friend introduced me to her. THEN, she said hi and so I smiled, and she smiled back. It was love at first sight. IN THE END, we got married after 3 months." OCFB. Then, (on Google Forms), I'll clarify the meaning, giving Ss an exercise for them to match the target language with its meaning for 2 minutes. Demonstrate one example first. ICQs: a. How long do you have to do this? 2 minutes. if they have further problems, I'll ask CCQs. CCQs: a. Is the base form of 'felt', 'fall' or 'feel'? Feel. b. Is 'felt' a regular or an irregular verb in the past? Irregular. c. How old were you when you met your husband/wife? d. "Do I say 'I was' or 'I had' 30 years old? I was. e. To start with a sequence of events, do I say 'at first' or 'then'? At first. f. To say what happened next, do I say 'at first' or 'then'? Then. g. How do I conclude the story? In the end. h. Do I say /ðiː/ or /ðə/ internet? /ðiː/ Why? Because it is followed by a vowel sound. (On Google Jamboard) I will provide form and pronunciation. I'll elicit the form by making them notice the chunks of the language and which parts of the sentences are fixed. 1. I felt ___ because + complement 2. I'll never forget the first time + complement 3. I was ___ years old at the time. 4. At first, + complement 5. Then, + complement 6. In the end, + complement I'll model the pronunciation, making sure to provide students with stress, intonation, connected speech, and drilling. Appropriacy is neutral.

1st round: 10 minutes (5 minutes for each student) to talk to their pairs about their firsts (someone important in their life, first time they bought something, first car/pet, first trip alone or abroad, first day at school or college, or first time driving a car) demonstrating how they should tell their stories and use the TL provided earlier.: Example: I'll never forget the first time I drove a car. I was 18 years old at the time. I felt really nervous because I'm not good at driving. At first, I didn't know what to do. Then, I almost crashed the car. But in the end, I learned and got my license! 2nd round: 10 more minutes to talk to another pair. Make sure they use the TL in the first round, and send them the link of the TL in the chatbox. After each round, ask one student to say what he or she found out about their partner and provide correction, if necessary.

I'll provide them with OCFB and ask the students whose story was the funniest or the most interesting. I'll give them DEC
