Procedure (35-45 minutes)
T displays a Google Slide with story images (e.g., friends, police car). T asks, "Have you ever witnessed a misunderstanding? What happened?" T models with, "Once, I saw a friend argue with a stranger over a misunderstanding." T elicits and notes ideas (e.g., "misunderstanding," "police involved") on the slide. T transitions with, "Let’s explore a similar story."
T shows the story picture and asks, "What do you think caused the conflict between Bill and the old lady?" T plays the audio (listening 1), then checks predictions. T instructs, "Listen again and summarize Bill’s and the old lady’s perspectives in 2-3 sentences each." ICQ: "Do we need one summary? (No, two)." T replays audio (Listening 2). Ss discuss in BoR. T shares answers on slide and conducts OCFB. T says, "Now, let’s refine the language."
T uses Jamboard for guided discovery of TL: past continuous and past simple (e.g., "I was walking when she shouted," "She saw me break in"). T provides MFP clarification and extends with phrases (e.g., "from my point of view," "misjudged the situation"). T says, "Let’s use these to tell the story."
Ss work in pairs (one from Group A, one from Group B). Group A narrates Bill’s perspective with added detail (e.g., emotions), Group B the old lady’s. T demos with a student. Ss use Jamboard for lexis (e.g., shouted, steep hill, misjudged). T sends Ss to BoR. Rotate partners if time allows. T says, "Excellent, let’s share your stories."
T conducts OCFB, highlighting strong examples (e.g., "I was shocked when the police arrived") and errors (e.g., "I was walk" or tense misuse) on the whiteboard. T elicits corrections and discusses narrative flow.
