Procedure (37-45 minutes)

Warm up (3-4 minutes) • To set the lesson context and engage students, activating their prior knowledge and getting them comfortable with the topic of multi-word verbs.

The teacher greets the students and introduces the topic: multi-word verbs. The teacher writes "Weekend Activities" on the board and asks students to think about their weekend. Students discuss their weekend activities with a partner for 2 minutes, using phrasal verbs if possible (e.g., "hung out," "caught up"). A few students share their activities with the class, and the teacher writes the used phrasal verbs on the board. The teacher briefly explains that today's lesson will focus on these types of verbs. ICQs: What are you discussing with your partner? (Weekend activities) How long do you have to discuss? (2 minutes) What should you try to include in your discussion? (Phrasal verbs)

Exposure (8-9 minutes) • To introduce and explain the concept and usage of multi-word verbs.

Using the Empower Student's Book, the teacher presents the grammar point, focusing on the structure and application of multi-word verbs. The teacher explains the different types of multi-word verbs, such as verb + particle and verb + two particles, providing clear examples and visual aids to ensure comprehension. CCQs (Concept Checking Questions): What is a multi-word verb? (A verb combined with one or more particles) Can a multi-word verb have more than one particle? (Yes) Can you give an example of a multi-word verb? (Come across, give up)

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To highlight the structure and use of multi-word verbs and ensure students understand them.

The teacher highlights the phrasal verbs written on the board during the warmer, breaking down their structure (verb + particle).

Clarification (6-7 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

The teacher clarifies the meaning and usage of each verb with example sentences. CCQs: What is the structure of "come across"? (Verb + particle) What does "give up" mean? (To stop doing something)

Controlled Practice (8-9 minutes) • Objective: To provide students with practice in forming and using multi-word verbs correctly.

The teacher distributes the provided extra worksheet, which contains sentences that the students must complete using the correct multi-word verbs. Students work individually to complete the worksheet. After completing the worksheet, students pair up to compare their answers and provide peer feedback. The teacher monitors the activity, providing assistance and clarification as needed. ICQs: What do you need to do first? (Complete the sentences with the correct phrasal verbs) After you finish, what will you do? (Compare answers with a partner)

Semi-Controlled Practice (3-4 minutes) • To reinforce the grammar point through an interactive platform.

The teacher guides the students to log in to Gibbly where they complete assigned activities focusing on multi-word verbs. The teacher monitors and assists the students as they navigate through the exercises, ensuring that they are correctly applying the grammar rules. ICQs: What website should you go to? (Gibbly) What will you do on Gibbly? (Complete activities on multi-word verbs)

Free Practice (7-8 minutes) • Objective: To provide students with an opportunity to use multi-word verbs in a natural conversational context.

The teacher utilizes Canva Magic for Speaking where the students engage in paired discussions about their recent activities. The students are encouraged to use multi-word verbs in their conversations, thus practicing their use in a more relaxed and spontaneous setting. The teacher facilitates and monitors the discussions, providing support and feedback as needed. ICQs: What will you talk about with your partner? (Recent activities) What should you try to use in your conversation? (Multi-word verbs)
