Procedure

Warm-Up (20-22 minutes) • Build rapport and reactivate fluency without focusing on specific grammar.

Students sit in a circle or semi-circle. Teacher prompts: -One decision you made last week -One problem you solved -One thing that surprised you Students speak freely. Classmates ask follow-up questions. Teacher participates naturally.

Set Up (3-5 minutes) • Understand the dynamic.

Students stand or sit in different spots. Teacher explains rules clearly. Music plays from speaker. Students throw the ball randomly while music is playing. When music stops, the student holding the ball must answer. Answer clearly and loudly. If incorrect, teacher briefly corrects and asks a follow-up. No elimination. Everyone must stay alert.

Hot Potato (36-38 minutes) • Reactivate Week 2 grammar through spontaneous retrieval and individual accountability in a low-pressure dynamic.

They'll have 4 categories of possible questions to be asked related to the previous week's topics. Once they answer, if it is correct, no correction is needed and next round should start. If the answer is incorrect, teacher must correct it and explain why; after that, the next round continues. Repeat as necessary. Categories: 1-Choose the correct option 2-Fix the sentence 3-Explain the meaning 4-Create the sentence
