Lead-in (4-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Learners will discuss questions they might ask someone on a first date Topic: First dates (On the board) Lead-in questions (on the board): What questions do you ask someone on a first date? To the class: hello! today we are going to practice speaking. You will prepare your thoughts and have multiple conversations with partners.

If no one chimes in type--- "What do you like to do for fun?" on the board and then ask a student. Jairo, "what do you like to do for fun?" After his answer, ask the class, "What could Jairo say to me after he responds?" If no answers, start to type..."What about you" So, Jairo, What do you like to do for fun?... After first example give students a minute on their own to think of their own questions and then ask the class openly for more examples. Continue to Elicit for 4-5 minutes. ICQ prior to one minute practice: What occasion are we writing these questions for? A first date How long do you have to think of a question? One minute Will we share these? Yes

Content Preparation (6-7 minutes) • Give Ss content for the speaking task

Google form: Share google form in the zoom chat. Okay, now, everyone take 4 minutes and come up with three sentences of things they like, and things they don't like. Screen share the form and go to the first question: So, for this first sentence I type, I really like football. What's something else I could type in this example? Great. And please type complete sentences. So, (type swimming) would this be an okay answer? No, please type "I like swimming." Go back to word bank.

OCFB - Share a couple sentences you came up with and then look at results from students - look at results from students: Okay who shared this? great, and how could you ask someone else if they like to _______

language preparation (7-8 minutes) • To equip Ss with essential or useful language to complete the main task

Students analyze the meaning, form, and pronunciation of the target language, in the context of things you have in common. The teacher explains and clarifies how the target language is used. Reading: Go to the reading form and tell students: I am giving you a reading about people describing things they have in common and don't have in common after a date. Please take a minute to read this conversation and then we will answer the questions below as a class. How much time do we have to read? a minute. Are you answering these on your own? No, we will answer them as a class. Questions to check meaning: Once a minute is up we will get to the questions. Answers will be elicited by reading them out loud and asking the class the correct answer. CCQ: Ask: If I say, "Jairo and I both like hamburgers," which one of us likes hamburgers? both of you Ask: If I say I like eating hamburgers am I eating a hamburger right now? No Ask: If I say, I like eating hamburgers, will I like eating hamburgers tomorrow? Yes. Pronunciation: (focus on attitudinal pronunciation) Point to the first sentence and read it- Which word is stressed? Answer: BOTH Read the sentence, clearly stressing both, and have the students repeat it back, calling on students individually. Do this for each example, stressing the bolded attitudinal phrases. CCQ: type another sentence: I love fast food. and ask --- what word is stressed in this example? LOVE Go to the form structures below and highlight the first example (we both/I + like + noun/verb(ing)) Which sentence above matches this? If no response, elicit by asking if it's this one for each example sentence. Then, go to example 3 on the next slide and ask, "so, is the correct answer here 'I like watching football' or 'I likes watching football'" Do This stage with the next few phrases, but make sure to keep pace. This section should take no more than a minute and a half. Skip through the last two examples if it takes too long. Prioritize "I like" and "he/she likes" CCQs come in the form of the next slide (fill in the blanks) He _______ (like/likes) video games. She ________ (don’t like/doesn’t like) fast food I __________ (like/likes) watching TV We both _______ (like/likes) football He likes ______ (run/running)

Students will be tasked with finding three things in common with their first partner. they will talk for three minutes with their first partner. Then, they will be paired with a new partner who they will talk with for five minutes. In this task, they will be asked to share about their previous partner and what things they had in common.
