Show Ss first slide and ask, "Read these adverts A - C. You'll have one minute to quickly read them." Give the Ss one minute to read them over. Then ask, "Which course would you like to do most and why?"

GIST TASK: Share GForms link in the chat. Say, "We are going to read an email someone sent to the organizer of one of these courses we read about. Take thirty seconds to read the three questions you'll answer after you read." Give Ss 30 secs to read the three gist questions. "Great, you'll have three minutes to quickly read her email and answer the questions. You do not need to know every detail, you're just reading to get a general understanding. Please submit your answers when done" ICQs: How long do you have? (three mins) Do you need to remember all the details of her email? (no) Once Ss submit answers, show the responses and provide answers. ANSWER KEY: 1. Yes 2. Language + horse riding course 3. Informal

UNDERSTANDING SECTIONS OF THE TEXT TASK: Share FigJam link in the chat. "There are several categories in this email. You and your partner will move the sticky notes to the correct part of the email. You will have 3 minutes." Send Ss to BORs if applicable. Monitor pairs while they work. Once they are done/3 minutes is up, pull up page three on Figjam to show the answers (answers are already on page). TL CORRECTION TASK: Share GDoc link in chat. “Reread Simona's email. She uses several informal phrases. Some of these are highlighted. With your partner, choose a more formal phrase from the box to replace each highlighted phrase. You and your partner will have 3-4 minutes to answer these questions. Please submit your answer once you finish. Send Ss to BORs if applicable. Potential answers: I was interested in your advertisement → I am writing with regard to the advertisement I need some information → I would like you to provide some information/I would be grateful if you could provide I've done... for ages → I have been studying ... for three years There's an attachment here with ... → Please find attached ... I want to know ... → I wonder if you could tell me ... Tell me ... → I would like to know/I wonder if you could tell me ... a quick answer → an early response Write soon! → I'm looking forward to hearing from you, All the best → Yours/Yours faithfully Once finished/time is up, open results on GForms and check submissions together. Show responses and provide answers. To check meaning and form understanding: CCQs: Which sounds more professional: “Tell me how much progress I’ll make” or “I wonder if you could tell me how much progress I am likely to make”? (second one) Who might "write soon!" be appropriate for? (a friend or family member) Why does "tell me how much progress I'll make..." sound inappropriate in this email? (It sounds demanding, not professional, etc) QUICK FORM SLIDE: Go back to Gslides, slide 5. Look at the highlighted words in Simona’s email (I’ve, I’m, There’s). What do you notice about them?” Try to elicit: They are contractions/short forms. “Do we usually use contractions in formal emails?” Elicit: No, we use full forms. “So instead of I’ve, what should we write?” (I have. (same for I am, There is))

PREP STAGE: “Now you’re going to write your own email asking for more information about a course. You can use your personal details, or you can make them up. First, take 5 minutes to brainstorm and plan each section of the email using the notes template. After that, you’ll write the full email. ICQs: What will you do first: write the email or make notes?(make notes first) How long do you have to make notes (5 minutes) Before Ss start making notes, I will ask each Ss what course (A-C) they will be writing their email about. Monitor Ss while they make notes, only assisting if needed. WRITING STAGE: After 5 minutes, tell Ss they will now have 10 minutes to write their emails. “Now it’s time to write your full email. You can organize your notes into short paragraphs for you email. You have 10 minutes to do this. Remember to use the more formal phrases we practiced earlier. If you get stuck, you can look back at the language box on page one for help.” Monitor and help where required. As they write, note examples of good language or errors for DEC.

Tell Ss they are now going to read a partner's review and evaluate it. Assign each student a partner. Copy and paste Ss email above their email boxes. “Please scroll down to around page 6 and find your partner’s email box. Above the box, you’ll see their email pasted. As you read their email, check if each category is included. If it’s included, write a check in the Yes box. If it’s missing, write an X in the No box. I’ll give you 30 seconds now to find your partner’s review box and read the categories before you start.” If theres time, show my GSlide of good/ misused language I noted from their emails.
