Personalize the topic: show some pictures of invitations and different types of events. Ask the students some questions about the topic: "do you normally write invitations?", "when was the last time you wrote an invitation?", "what kind of event was the invitation for?" Ask the learners to guess the topic of the session.

Show a model of an invitation. Then present a 'Reading for gist' task. Provide the instructions: "Read the invitation and answer the questions about it". Instruct the students to work individually. Share the link to the activity with the students. (2 mins) ICQs: what do you need to do? how much time do you have? OCFB: review the answers with the students. Layout: instruct the ss to complete a Google form where they will need to identify the sections of the writing piece. They will work on this individually. Provide instructions: "Look at the invitation. Each section has a different number. Match the numbers with the name of the section". (2 mins) Do the first one with the students as an example. OCFB: elicit answers from the students. Clarify answers if necessary.

MEANING (3 mins) Ask the students to work on a Google form where they will match each marker sentence with its purpose. They will work individually. (2 min) OCFB: elicit answers from the students. Clarify doubts or incorrect information. (1 min) FORM (3 mins) Display the marker sentences from the writing piece on a slide. Ask the ss to identify the fixed and the flexible part of each expression. Elicit possible variations from the ss. APPROPRIACY (2 mins) Show the marker sentences on a slide. Ask the ss if this language is formal, informal or neutral. Place each expression in a cline according to the learners' replies. Ask the ss what kind of language they should use to write an invitation to a friend (the language should be informal/casual).

Instruct the ss to write an invitation to a friend. Provide instructions: "It's your birthday next week and you are having a party. You want to invite your friend Lisa. Write an email to invite her to the party. Tell her when it is, what she should bring and how to get there". Preparation: tell the ss that before they start writing, they should complete a checklist with the information they should include in their invitations (the place, the date, the time, how to get there, what to bring). *Remind the ss they should include the elements of the layout we saw before. Write each of the students' names on the slides. Share the Google slides link in the chat box and ask students to find the slide with their name. Explain that they should write on their own slide. Tell ss they will have around 15 mins to write their invitations individually. Let them know I will write some comments below each slide while they are writing. ICQs. how much time do you have to write your invitations? will you work in a group or individually? Monitor students while they write their invitations, provide help if the ss have any questions and leave comments on their slides.

Tell ss they will receive a checklist (rubric) so that they can check a peer´s invitation and give them feedback. Provide the rubric and send them to breakout rooms (in pairs). (4 mins) Monitor the feedback in BOR. Once the ss have finished giving feedback to their peers, provide OCFB (4 mins): give content feedback first. Compliment students on interesting content. DEC: compliment students on their good use of the language. Then show Google slides where the ss have written their invitations and show the feedback comments. Elicit corrections from the ss. If necessary, write some sentences with mistakes on a slide and elicit corrections or reformulations from the ss.
