In my lead-in I will set the context of the lesson where students will be engaged in identifying feelings they see on a visual board. Jamboard https://jamboard.google.com/d/1G9-lA4JQ5GcOa7v7bxzbFF-gEliScN0BGrxinDoEoWQ/edit?usp=sharing T briefly shares her screen to make sure the Ss see the same image. The board has images of people experiencing various feelings. Q to the Ss: What feelings do pictures show? T instructs Ss to write a sticky note and attach it to the picture with short description of the feeling that person expresses (scared, happy, embarrassed, depressed, relaxed). After Ss finish, review the sticky notes by asking Q: Is this sticky note correct or not? T acknowledges correct answers.

The brainstorming activity will allow Ss to come up with the ideas and concepts that support the completing of the main speaking task. Google slides https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1KvSchlLlUxxbpn3U7ItjdsW2TnM7fVPBMQcBq975aHs/edit?usp=sharing T briefly shares her screen to make sure Ss see the same image. T gives instructions: Let’s brainstorms some ideas and answer Qs (Slide 1). You will work in pairs (breakout rooms) and learn as much as you can about your partner. You will have 3 minutes, and after that we will have OCFB so you can tell the class what you’ve learned about your partner. 1. What makes you laugh? 2. What frightens you? 3. What makes you feel depressed? 4. What helps you to relax? 5. What do you really detest? (Dislike intensely) 6. What makes you stressed? 7. What makes you feel embarrassed? 8. What makes you happy? Ss are sent to break out rooms. They discuss various situations; share their feelings (3 minutes). T monitors the breakout rooms and writes down incorrect language. (The notes will be addressed during last lesson stage of feedback and DEC.) After 3 minutes the Ss will be back in the main classroom, and will share the information about their partner during OCFB (3 minutes to hear them out). T elicits answers: Tell me about your partner, what did you learn about them? What makes them happy / afraid / embarrassed, etc.? T notes incorrect language, and reformulates some of the Ss’ mistakes if necessary.

T says "Now, we talked about your learning partner’s feelings. Look at Slides 2 and 3. Have you used any of the phrases before? Are they familiar to you?"

Therapist and Client (role play activity). Slide 4 (visual) T explains the task: “Now you will talk about COVID-19 pandemic and how it affects everyone’s life. You will be working on pairs, where one person will be a Therapist, another will be a Client. The Client will share his feelings and thoughts on how they deal with the pandemic. The Therapist will be helping his Client to express themselves and find positive aspects of the situation. One of students will be the Therapist for 5 minutes, then switch the roles and do the activity as a Client for another 5 minutes. Total time 10 minutes. The goal of the activity is to communicate openly and use some of the target language presented on slides 2 and 3. In 10 minutes we will have an open class discussion where some Clients will share what feelings have been were discussed with their Therapist, and what positive aspects of pandemic have been found.“ T sends Ss in breakout rooms. T monitors and makes notes of incorrect language in her Word Doc file so she can share the screen later for DEC stage.

After the speaking task T returns Ss to the main classroom. T and Ss discuss the most relevant aspects of the interaction. Slide 5 T asks a few individual students (in a role of Clients) Qs about their sessions “How was your session? Did your Therapist listen to your concerns? Did the Therapist help you find positive aspects of the situation?” Ss are encouraged to communicate and engage in the conversation. T notes incorrect language and writes it down for DEC. T gives short feedback about the activity and praises the Ss. For DEC, T shares her screen. T has some sentences written down (both accurate and inaccurate) and asks Ss to find incorrect language, asks why it is incorrect and then what correct sentence should be. As Ss correct, T highlights areas of grammar, lexis, pronunciation, appropriacy, etc. Ss are encouraged to correct each other if needed and communicate. End of the class: T praises the Ss and thanks them for their hard work. *************************************** If any time left, T can do a relevant extension: Q to Ss: Describe, how do you feel about the class? Let individual Ss to speak up and share.
