Exposure (15-20 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through watching a video

Students work in pairs. They speak about their experience of being late for things. Then, they number the pictures in order to describe a morning when Gaby overslept her trip by train. Later on, they watch the video, compare their ideas and answer questions.

Useful Language (15-20 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

Students will work with functional language. They will look at the conversation and try to find differences between text responses and ones in the video. They will watch the video again and try to correct false information. After that, we will drill new phrases and students will put them down into their copybooks. Later on, students will watch the video without sound. They will try to understand when characters use useful phrases in their speech. We will translate new vocabulary and drill it together.
