Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T: Hello, everybody. Nice to see you. Hope you had a nice weekend. (SHARES SCREEN WITH TATOOS & 2 QUESTIONS: 1. Have you ever considered getting/do you have a tattoo? 2. Would/Does it have personal significance? ) T: I don't have any actual tattoos but oddly, I do dream about having them. And they always are meaningful to me. Anyone here have a special tattoo? (T nominates 2-3 Ss to chat.)

Exposure (6-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

T: I want you to listen to Stuart talk about his tattoo. (PLAYS AUDIO) T: What did you hear? (T NOMINATES 1-2 Ss) T: I'm sending you a word document. Can everyone open it up? Good. T: Let's look at the first one together? (DO FIRST ONE) T: Any questions? Take a minute or so to do the other two please. Individually. (SHARES SCREEN WITH ANSWER KEY) T: Okay check your answers please.

Clarification MFP (9-11 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

TP8 MFAP (SHARES SCREEN) MEANING Slide 3 Does everyone understand the meaning of these words? Slide 4 Does everyone understand the meaning of these sentences? Slide 5 1. Looking at the first sentence, when did Stuart realize the cards had gotten mixed up? Before or after he got the tattoo? (After) Can he do anything about it now? (Yes but it’s costly.) 2. Looking at the second sentence, did Stuart check with someone before he got the tattoo? (No) Does he wish he had? (Yes) Why? (Because the name would have been right.) 3. In these sentences, are we talking about the past, present, or future? (Past) FORM Slide 6 In this sentence, are we talking about past, present, or future? (Past) In the first part of the sentence we see what kind of verb? → (past perfect) In the second part of the sentence, we see several verbs working together—→could, have, and the past participle of ‘win’. What do we call each part of the sentence? (a clause) Here, each clause has a specific name. →There’s the ‘IF’ CLAUSE. What information is this clause giving us? → (If something else had happened) Did they score more points? (No) Did they win the game? (No) →The second part is called the MAIN CLAUSE. What information is this clause telling us? → (a different outcome) The MAIN CLAUSE is dependent on the information in the ‘IF’ CLAUSE. ***IF THIS HAD HAPPENED, THEN THIS COULD’VE/WOULD’VE HAPPENED*** This is how we want to present the information: IF THIS, THEN THAT Slide 7 Do we see any clauses here? (Yes) What are the two types? (IF and MAIN) →The ‘IF’ CLAUSE tells us what information here? () →And the verb tense? (Past perfect) →What information does the MAIN CLAUSE tell us? (they were late) →[verb formulation] →The way to construct these types of sentences is ‘if + past perfect (had + past participle), combined with would/could/might + have + past participle’. →This is called the third conditional. Slide 8 Here’s another sentence and →our form. What acts as “IF” in the IF CLAUSE here? → (I wish) What is the action that they wish had been different? (They had studied harder.) What do they think the outcome might have been if they had studied harder? (a better job) →What are the verbs used here? ( ) What is this tense called? →THIRD CONDITIONAL Third conditional can be used for → hypothetical situations in the past and it’s useful for discussing regrets or reflecting on the past. PRONUNCIATION Slides 9-12 We’re going to concentrate only on the underlined parts of the sentence: 1. Model 2. Where is the stress? 3. Model 4. Choral 5. Model 6. Choral 7. Individual 8. Individual Slide 13 Where is the stress in the first part? [advance slide] Where is the stress in the second part? [advance slide] [Repeat modeling and drilling as above.]

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

T: I'm going to give you a worksheet where you have to fill out the correct form of the verb. (SENDS WS via CHAT) T: Can everyone see the worksheet? Good. T: Let's do the first one together. (DO FIRST ONE) Any questions on what you need to do? T: Okay work on this individually for 2-3 minutes. (TIME LAPSE) T: Okay. I'm going to send you into BORs to compare your answers with a partner. You have about 3 minutes. (SEND TO BORs) T: How'd everyone do? Did you get most of the right, you think? Here are the answers. (SHARES SCREEN WITH ANSWER KEY)

Free Practice (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

T: Now you're going into the breakout rooms. While you're in there, I want you to take turns telling each other some things you wish you hadn't done or could've done. They don't have to be real things. You can make them up. For example: I wish I had allowed more time to get to the party last Saturday, because I got stuck in really bad traffic and when I got there it was nearly over. If I'd left home earlier, I wouldn't have missed all the fun. Then your partner could answer with something similar or worse: You think your Saturday was bad? I woke up late! I missed the bus! If I had set my alarm, I wouldn't have lost my job! Feel free to keep trying to outdo one another. You'll have about 10 minutes. (SEND Ss TO BORs)

Delayed Error Correction (5-5 minutes) • To allow Ss to get feedback on language they used during freer practice.

T: Well, I overheard some interesting things. (or some such transitional talk) [(SHARES SCREEN WITH 4-7 SENTENCES) that were overheard: some good and some needing a little work. Have list already divided. Point out and commend some of the good language.] T: Now what about this sentence? (Start with first in next list.) What do you think needs fixing? Why? (Go down list until time expires.)
