Procedure (42-53 minutes)
Ss will post on the Google Jamboard answering the question "What city do you live in?"
Have Ss read a sample text of someone describing their city. Call on individual students to read sections of the sample text. Ask follow up questions to check Ss understanding.
Have Ss determine the necessary parts that are used to write a description of a city on Google Powerpoint slides by matching the part to the sample text. Students work together and check their answers in groups in Breakout rooms. Provide OCFB. As a group, have Ss give share phrases that are used for each section. Have Ss determine if these are informal or formal phrases.
Ss are given instruction to write their own description of their city, using the structure that they discovered earlier. Students will write down their descriptive paragraph and then share in groups in Breakout rooms with each other. Ss will be given a checklist when listening to their peers writing.
Come back together as a group. If time allows, have some Ss share what they wrote. If not, provide DEC that was observed while Ss were working in breakout rooms.
