Teacher shows a picture of herself in an outdoor concert and elicits some words like, "concert, huge, crowds, ..." Teacher asks students to listen to her short story. while telling the story she points at the pictures of the key words she is uttering louder and longer than usual on the slides. words are: "costumes, floats, crowds, demonstration, placard, address the crowd" "Last year I had a new year resolution to visit some huge festivals around the world. I dreamed about participating in the Chinese New Year, wearing the Chinese costumes and watching the dragon floats on the streets or going to India for the Diwali festival. However, I could only save up money to travel to Istanbul and go to an outdoor concert. It was supposed to be an exciting experience. The venue was the Istanbul stadium, and everything went on quite well. Even, through the end of the concert the crowd went wild. Everybody was dancing and singing with the band. Such an electrifying moment. after the concert, I was trying to get a cab to go back to my hotel room when I found online taxis weren’t working and I had to walk a couple of blocks to get to a metro station. Suddenly, I found myself stuck in a demonstration against poverty and unemployment. demonstrators and protestors were carrying placards and banners and clashed with the police in the end. as I was running to get to the station, I saw the mayor was addressing the crowed, however, people booed him. It was quite an adventure but finally I made it back to the hotel safe and sound. after the story is told, the teacher shows the words on the slide and points to the pictures again and asks the students to say the related word.

Teacher gives the students a handout that shows some pictures on one side, and some sentences on the other side which include more vocabulary related to the topic of celebration and protest. teacher pairs them up and gives instructions: "find the meaning of new words and match the sentences with the pictures with your partner" after the task is done, teacher asks students to describe their understanding of each sentence and then shows the answers on the slide.

teacher gives the pairs a hand out to put the new words from the previous task into four groups: "events, people, activities, things". (teacher might ask different pairs to check their answers together) after the task is done, teacher shows the answers on a slide.

teacher puts students into groups of 4, and gives them instructions. they will have 3 minutes to think and take a few note about "the biggest celebration or protest that they have been to or seen on TV?" then students should take turns and talk about the event while trying to use the vocabulary. In each group, one person has been assigned as the secretary. the secretary has to take notes and report a short summary of the group's stories to the class.

while groups are doing the discussion, the teacher discreetly will monitor the task and take notes of the necessary feedbacks. at the end, she writes the sentences with errors on the board - without mentioning names- and asks the class to correct them. Note: (teacher won't give comments or feedbacks to the groups while doing the task, unless they are stuck badly in a critical problem.)
