Teacher (T) greets the students, writes "Birthday" on the board, and announces it as the lesson topic. T models the activity by asking one student, "When is your birthday?" and "What do you do on your birthday?" Then, T instructs the students to turn to the classmate sitting next to them and ask the same questions. T restricts this peer exchange to a two-minute time limit, then elicits answers from two or three students to formally conclude the warm-up before initiating the pre-reading stage.

T provides a QR code for students to access a Quizlet activity where they try to match the target vocabulary with its definition. T instructs Ss to make pairs and match the words to the correct definitions. During the verification stage, T elicits proposed answers from individual Ss and requires verification from the class to confirm agreement. T deploys Concept Checking Questions (CCQs) for each item to prove comprehension before confirming the answer. T models the correct pronunciation, and commands choral repetition from Ss.

T instructs Ss to take out their books then says: "Read the text quickly. Match the situations to the correct country. Do not read every word. You have two minutes." At two minutes, T stops the activity and elicits the answers from Ss. T confirms the correct answers on the board and terminates the skimming phase.

T directs Ss to the True/False section of the handout and issues the instruction: "Read the text again, decide if the statements are True (T) or False (F), and correct the false statements." T sets a strict timer for 7 minutes to prevent over-reading. Ss execute the task individually while T monitors the room. Upon timer expiration, T stops the activity and elicits the answers, requiring Ss to justify their T/F decisions using evidence from the text and to provide corrections for false statements.

T divides Ss into groups of three and instructs each group to design a birthday celebration. T displays the following questions on the board for Ss to answer when designing. After Ss are finished, T asks one spokesperson from each group to present their finalized celebration plan to the class.
