T shows two photos of wedding invitations. T asks: "Can anyone tell me what these are?" S-s: "These are wedding invitations." T: "Great. What would be types of responses to a wedding invitation?" S-s: "Either accepting or declining an invitation. An RSVP." T: "Tell me different reasons why you would decline an invitation to a wedding?" S-s: "Travel is too long, I have no money, I do not like the people, I have prior engagement, I can't travel because of an illness, my spouse is not invited, my children are not invited."

1. Present the text to the students and ask them to underline the reason for the letter. This will get the student to read quickly, not focusing on every word they might not understand. The stunted will have a general idea of what the letter is about. 2. Language - I choose to explain language first because while some students may be very familiar with formal language, others might see it very infrequently and be confused about the meaning. I will ask the students to match a formal expression with its informal synonym. IMPORTANT: T: "We will now match a formal expression from the letter we just read to its informal synonym. S-s, what will we be doing? Writing or matching?" S-s: "We will be matching." T: "Amazing. I will now share the link to the exercise in the chat. https://wordwall.net/resource/101031580 Does everyone see it? " S-s: "Thumbs up."/"yes". T: "Let's do the first match together." (Because there are only 4 matches, ask one of the students to do the first match, and ask if everyone agrees. Give the students 1-2 minutes to match the words. T: "Let's review the matches." Go over the synonyms and ask: "When it is appropriate to use A vs B? When you write a text message to your Mom, would you use "sincerely?" S-s: "No." T: "Why not?" S-s: "Sounds funny/not appropriate." T: "When you are writing to your boss, would you use "Regrettably, I must inform you.."? S-s: "yes. when communicating with a manager or boss, a formal language in writing is appropriate." 2. Layout. T: "Let's look at the text again. How many parts does it have?" Share the text one the screen with different parts separated. Please share your opinions with each other. WAIT 1 minute. T: "What do you think? How many?" S-s: "6" T: "Great, Could you please guess what they are?" Name the stages of the formal letter on the screen.

Students will be given each a google slide to write in. The slide will have the stages to follow and examples of the target words to use. Students may get confused about how to write using google slides. Prepare different solutions: Provide a blank Word document in a chat, ask them to write in the chat itself or even on a piece of paper. Check in from time to time to make sure the students are actually writing. If someone is not writing, ask how you can assist. It is important to give them adequate time- at least 15 minutes. Give them warning after 15 minutes that they have 1 more minute to conclude the task.

check each other's letters using a simple checklist provided. If there are more than 3 students, T will create breakout rooms. If there are 3 or 2 students, the student will do the work outside of breakout rooms. S-s should remember that there were 6 stages to a formal letter because they determined that earlier in group work. A checklist will be presented to them for reference on the main screen. T will complement the use of the formal words and correct use (if corrections are needed) at the end.
