Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Activity: The students will have a conversation in B/out rooms about their favorite people. Instructions: T asks the Ss to think of their favorite person. The T sends Ss into B/out rooms to discuss for 2 minutes why they're their favorite. Time management: Asking the question (1min) Ss discuss (2mins) = Total 3mins

Exposure (9-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Activity: Ss will be given a chance to read the questions they will later have to fill out https://forms.gle/erJ8ahUykZgYNTig7 . Ss will then listen to the audio once as they fill out the gaps.

CCQs: - According to the people in the video, is there anyone smarter than Margaret? No - If Margaret is the least boring person I know, does that mean she must be funny? Yes - Saying that Margaret is ‘smarter than’ is the same as saying that she’s ‘the smartest’? No Time management: Eliciting meaning (2min) Match words (2mins) Form (3mins) Pronunciation (2mins) next slide CCQs (2min) = Total 10-11 mins

Free Practice (9-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Activity: Let's chat! The T will provide the instructions for an FP conversation in groups. Then they'll come back for an OCFB. Key Instructions: Now, you will have the chance to practice in groups.
