T gives the students a handout that includes three sentences from the story he told in the lead in stage to expose them to the target language. They will work in pairs to decide whether they agree or disagree with each sentence. 1-I shouldn't have left my wife alone. 2-She could have died in the ocean. 3-It would have been better to force her to come with me. T make them unfold the HO to clarify the meaning using CCQs. Should have 1-Did I leave her alone? (Yes) 2-Was it a good idea to leave her alone? (No) 3-Why wasn't it a good idea?

Students are given a handout to fill in the gaps with the target language. Ss check in pairs. Ss are given an answer key for feedback.

Ss work in groups and tell each others their stories. If time allows T regroups the students to have different partners to share the stories with.
