Some questions can be: What do you think is the topic today? Technology Are these colors familiar? Yes, they are form Google Who do you think these people are? The invertors of Google?

Exposure (4-6 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

T will share with ss a link (Forms) and play the audio once so ss can answer. The exercise is a T / F activity, once they have listened to the audio once, T shares the screen with the script and ss listen again, then they submit their answers individually. Finally T gives OCFB.

After the FB, T presents Ss the audio script and ask them to identify and underline the questions with "did". They do it in an open class. T asks all students to make sure everyone participates.

Meaning: T asks Ss CQs to clarify the meaning: Are these actions in the present or in the past? in the past Did these actions happen for a period of time? or just once? Just once Are they true now? no T draws a timeline to specify that the actions happened in the past just once. Form: in the next slide, T asks ss what the first element of the question is and writes them on the board using different colors. What is the first element? the auxiliary did And then? subject What's the form of the verb? simple form Does it change the auxiliary with different subjects? no Can I say? Did Sergey "left" Russia in 1979? No Why?
