1. I will keep practicing CCQs.

2. I will keep giving activities students can personalize.

The main focus of the lesson is for students to defend what they believe in using the context of having a roommate.

Main Objectives:
(What do you want the Ss to be able to do with the
new material that they couldnt do before?)
(there might be subsidiary objectives. Feel free to
include them.

SWBAT: to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of getting a roommate in a discussion activity.

Assumptions:
(What do your students already know what can they
already do in relation to todays lesson?)

Students might know a lot of vocabulary they could use for this topic. In relation to todays lesson they will have the opportunity to
speak for themselves and to express what their opinions are about having a roommate in freer activities.

Challenges/Opportunities for Teaching:

(What will be new for your students? What aspects
of the lesson do you anticipate they might find
challenging / difficult?)

The way it will be presented since it will be more personalized. Something they might find challenging is finding some words to
express what they think of the topic.

Solutions for challenges:

areas in your lesson?)

By helping them with the words they might not know.
By providing examples of situations in which they would use that vocabulary.

Assessment:
