Procedure

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

T greets class. T shares screen and displays a slide for ss. T nominates a ss to read the questions and T answers it with a model. 1- Have you ever gone to a concert or festival? 2- Who did you see? Did you like the experience? T instructs ss to discuss the questions in pairs or BOR's for the next 2-3 minutes.

Exposure (text analysis) (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

1. Gist stage Share with ss a google form and tell them they have 3 minutes to answer it individually. T asks ICQ's -How much time do you have? -Is it individual or in pairs? T asks ss to compare answers in the chat box. T and ss check the answers with OCFB. 2. Text Organization T shares a google form where students will re-read the text and answer some questions. T instructs ss to answer the task individually and gives them 3 minutes. T asks ICQ's Are you going to choose the correct answer in the link or are you going to write the correct answer in the chat? How much time do you have? Ss work on the task. T gives ss 2 minutes to share and compare answers in the chat box. T and ss check the answers.

Useful Language (8-10 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

2. Exposure stage to focus on the useful language. T shares a google slide where students match function words to their purpose. T models an example and answers the first statement with ss. T instructs ss to answer the task individually and gives them 3 minutes. T asks ICQ's Are you going to match the meaning or are you going to write it? How much time do you have? Ss work on the task. T gives ss 2 minutes to share and compare answers in the chat box. T and ss check the answers.

Productive Task(s) (18-20 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

1- preparation stage T shares screen of a google slide where ss will take notes regarding an event they have attended. T instructs ss to individually take notes on the slide with their name, they will have 5-6 minutes. T monitors ss and helps if necessary. 2- writing stage T asks ss if they remember the text from the lesson and reminds them of the structure and vocabulary. T tells ss they will write a text where they describe their experience when they attended the event they chose. T shares a link with students and tells them they can write their text in the slide with their names. T gives ss 12-15 minutes for this task and monitors them.

Feedback and Error Correction (8-10 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

T tells ss they will read a partner's text and evaluate it. T shows ss the criteria to follow and gives ss 5 minutes to share. Does the text have an introduction, body and conclusion? Does the text have connectors? (e.g. words such as: however, but, so, even though...) Is the idea of the text clear? T creates breakout rooms and ss start sharing with each other. After ss are done sharing, the T will do a DEC activity with ss.
