LESSON MOMENTS

Choose the lesson moment: Learners work individually to complete a graphic organizer, writing simple sentences about things they do that relate to the routine of work and things they do for fun. • Learners pair and rotate in inner-outer circles to see what they have in common.

Choose the appropriate moment: The teacher introduces the concept of métro, boulot, dodo (subway, work, sleep). Learners watch the video for a second time, with sound on, identifying words on their lists that connect to the concept of going to work or working.

Learners review and learn new sentence and question frames— What do you do? I do/don’t..., Do you like...? I like/don’t like..., Do you want? I want/don’t want..., Do you have to...? I have to, don’t have to—while working with the list of activities

Teacher models a conversation between two sisters; Ana who lives in Bogotá and Diana who lives in Monteria. Diana phones her sister Ana to know how she has felt in her first week studying in Bogota. Before modeling the conversation, teacher explains to students the aspect the sisters will talk about (weather, food, traffic, buildings, etc.) and gives them a chart they should complete using information from the conversation.

Teacher shows students pictures of different cities. Teacher brainstorms characteristics on the board. Students are given a picture of one of the cities. They should come to the front if the teacher mentions a characteristic of their city.

While listening to the conversation, students fill the chart with different characteristics Ana and Diana mention about the cities. Teacher checks students answers in the chart. After students complete the chart, teacher makes students questions about the conversation, e.g: What did Ana say about the weather in Bogota? What did Diana say about the weather in Monteria? Was the weather cold/hot in X?

Students are organized in two lines. Teacher shows students pictures of two contrasting cities and and asks each line to point a difference taking into account the different aspects they worked in class (weather, traffic, size, etc.)

Teacher explains to students they should create a poster using the images and write down descriptions related to them. Students work in groups of 5. Each group is given a piece of cardboard, two images of different cities and three different adjectives. Students match the adjectives with the cities they will describe. Students paste the images on the cardboard and write down three descriptions about these cities (characteristics).Teacher asks students to share their descriptions with their classmates and asked some of them if they agree or disagree with them.
