Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Lead-in: Use pic from pg. 65 of coursebook featuring girl & her father: - What are pros/cons of borrowing money from parents? - Have you ever requested to borrow or loaned money to someone? How did that turn out?

Exposure (5-6 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Gist/Intensive Listening: - Gist: Ex. 3A -> Have Ss listen to audio & answer questions 1-3 on Google Form (short answer), should take only 2 mins. - Intensive: Ex 4A-4D -> Have Ss highlight all verb phrases containing "wish" (using Figma as interactive board), activity & review should be 3-4 mins.

Highlighting (2-3 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Will briefly emphasize marker sentences & target language consisting of verb phrases. Marker Sentences & Target Language: “I wish you’d *stop talking* about that accident.” “I wish I *knew* where she was.” “I wish you *were coming* to the gig.” “I just wish we *could get* a recording contract.” “I simply wish my wife *had* my dinner ready back home.” “I constantly wish my daughter *would stand* on her own two feet.”

Clarification (12-15 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

MFP -> Increment into 4-5 mins segments! Meaning: Initial table matching activity for Ss to identify synonyms of target vocab (allow only 1-2 mins); After comes timeline activity as visual demonstration of meaning, last two timelines to be completed by SS (allow 2 mins for exercise, last minute to review answers). Form: Will start with breakdown of language (dependent clauses, independent clauses, subject, *verb phrases* & noun/prepositional phrases), transition into form identification activity w/ review after Ss complete (3-4 mins for breakdown + activity, last minute for answer review). Pronunciation: Focus on shifting of stress (similar to TP#3) & Intonation identification activity afterwards. Will review answers with Ss after complete (2 mins for stress shifting, 2 mins for intonation, 1 min for answer review of both activities).

Controlled Practice (4-5 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Controlled P: Ex. 5A -> Play audio & have Ss complete questions 1-5 (NO MORE), additionally having Ss mark stress of words on additional section of Google Form (Give Ss 3-4 minutes to complete, remainder to review answers).

Free(r) Practice & Feedback (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Free(r) Practice: Ex. 6A -> Have students write 3-4 wishes about future aspirations on Figma. Consider the following: - What did you love/long for/loathe/learn? Give Ss 5-6 minutes to discuss amongst peers. Final 2 mins for Feedback & DEC.
