Slides 1 and 2: T asks Ss to match the words to the right with the images on the slide to familiarize Ss with Sharma and Cairo - and the differences between them. T demos the first one on each slide.

Slide 3: T plays audio for Ss of Patrick and Juliet discussing their vacation to Egypt, comparing Sharm and Cairo as destinations. T also shares text of audio in the slide to make it easier for Ss to follow along. ICQ: Do you need to do anything besides listen? Answer = no. After audio is complete, T asks Ss to complete gist questions in Google Form (link embedded in the slide) within 2 minutes. ICQ: How long do you have to answer the questions? Answer = 2 minutes. T demos by answering the 3rd and 4th question. T monitors and shares responses to Google Forms in OCFB. /////////////////////////// Slide 4: T plays audio again for Ss of Patrick and Juliet discussing their vacation to Egypt, comparing Sharm and Cairo as destinations. T continues to share text of audio in the slide to make it easier for Ss to follow along. ICQ: Do you need to do anything besides listen? Answer = no. After audio is complete, T asks Ss to complete intensive questions in Google Form (link embedded in the slide) within 3 minutes. ICQ: How long do you have to answer the questions? Answer = 3 minutes. T demos by answering the first question. T monitors and shares responses to Google Forms in OCFB. ///////////////////////////

Slide 5: T shares 7 marker sentences with Ss, asking them a meaning-related CCQ after each. Answers in order: Sharm, Sharm, better, Cairo, yes, Cairo, Cairo. ///////// Slide 6: T reads each sentence and calls on individual Ss to fill in the blank. This will help them with form. Answers in order = more interesting, cheaper, safer, busier. T also also asks Ss if these sentences are formal, informal, or neutral. Answer = neutral. ////////////// Slide 7: T asks Ss where the stress is for each vocabulary word. T demonstrates by speaking each word and asking Ss to repeat after her before they answer the question about stress. T annotates the slide to visually reinforce where the stress is. Answer = first syllable of the second word if there are 2 words, first syllable of the word if there is one word

Slide 8: T asks Ss to think of 2 places and fill in a slide with their name on it with those two places (in boxes labeled Place 1 and Place 2, respectively). T also asks Ss to fill in the appropriate blanks in the sentences below with the names of those 2 places in 3 minutes. T demonstrates by filling in the example slide. T shares link to slides and asks Ss to give a thumbs up when they've found their slide. ICQ: How long do you have to complete the exercise? Answer = 3 minutes. CCQ: Are you comparing 2 places? Answer = yes. T monitors completion and reviews in OCFB after complete.

Second to last slide in the deck: T asks Ss to join breakout rooms for 8 minutes and to take turns sharing with others in their room how their two places (from the previous stage) compare to one other in 3 ways. T encourages them to use the words they already know or have learned in this lesson (e.g., nicer, busier, etc.) but also provides an additional 8 words in a slide for them to use, if they would like. T demonstrates by verbally sharing her 2 places and three ways she compares them to the Ss. ICQ: How long do you have in your breakout rooms? T monitors rooms to listen for comparative examples to use in DEC (next stage).

Last slide: T presents 3-4 examples of correct and incorrect uses of comparative language from the breakout rooms in the previous stage. If sharing an example of an incorrect item, T asks Ss how the item can be improved.
