For the Lead in stage I will show the students different pictures of holiday activities, namely camping, sightseeing, having a picnic, relaxing on the beach and doing a guided tour in a a museum. I will share a link to Google slides and will ask ss to place love hearts on their favourite activity asking them to justify their choice.

I will ask ss to read a short dialogue between 3 friends talking about their Summer holidays and the things they are planning to do. I will ask ss to read in 2 minutes to get a general idea. I will then ask them to briefly discuss which of the 3 friends they agree with, in a further 3 minutes.

I will share link to Google forms where the ss will have to classify 9 collocations/phrases according to their function, i.e. expressing like, dislike, type of holiday and holiday activity. I will do the first one as an example, in BOR for 1 or 2 min. I will then redirect ss to Google Slides to highlight the appropriacy, pronunciation features and form of some useful functional language in the context of holidays, in open class for 4-5 min.

I will ask the students to tell each other, in pairs, about a dream holiday they would like to enjoy, or a perfect holiday they have enjoyed already. SS to discuss in BOR for a minimum of 15 minutes (20 minutes time permitting). I will advise them that after 5 minutes I will place them in another BOR with another peer to enable them to hopefully emulate good language and consolidate their discussions (2 or 3 times if time allows). For the purpose of facilitating their discussion, I will provide ss with a suggested list of types of holidays, methods of transport and activities to do on holiday.

I will ask ss to share their stories or planned holidays, giving everyone an opportunity to tell their peers in open class. I will finally provide ss with delayed error correction (on Zoom board), asking them to reformulate the structure/sentences they said incorrectly, eliciting the right form/ pronunciation from them and/or asking CCQ so that they can hopefully work out and correct the error for themselves.
