In this lesson, students learn (in a context of remarkable events) how to use phrases in order to describe situations and places related to a memorable occasion they have attended. The lesson starts with Students listening to a recording in which four people talk about specific events and solving a Jamboard task about these stories. Afterwards they will work on a Google Forms task in pairs, where they will be introduced to useful language for this topic. Then they will have a speaking activity which will allow them to talk and ask about events, rolling partners twice. The class will finish with a feedback stage regarding the errors detected while monitoring.

Procedure

Lead-in (5-6 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T shares screen with images of four events, sends link to google jamboard task to Students through the chat, and plays audio to have Students listen to it. Ss listen to four people talk about the events they attended, and answer the jamboard task individually.

PREPARATION (10-12 minutes) • To give Students useful language they can use to describe places and events.

Teacher sends a quick vocabulary google form task to all the Ss and gives three minutes to have it answered individually. Afterwards T instructs the Students to listen for a second time to the audio, and sends via chat box a Google sites task with the script of the text with useful language highlighted, and a google forms task. T puts Ss in break out rooms by pairs to have them listen and answer. T joins breakout rooms monitoring the Ss development and doubts during the activity. Afterwards the answers are revised in the main room with all the group.

Speaking (10-15 minutes) • To allow Students discuss and talk about a personal experience and have free practice.

Teacher sends task via chat box and introduces Ss to the activity, which is describing an important event, sharing an experience of their own with a partner.
