1. Tell students that they will begin an activity where they can act.

2. Demonstrate the dialogue with a partner to the class. EX:

   • Student A: Hello.

   • Student B: Hi!

   • A: My name is Peter. What's your name?

   • B: My name is Jane. Nice to meet you.

   • A: It's a pleasure. This is a great party!

3. Handout or digitally share a handout of dialogues to students.

4. Ask them to practice the dialogues because at the end of the session they will have to read one of the dialogues to the class.

5. Give students time to practice.

6. End the practice time and pick on groups to read aloud to the class. Make sure to give applause to performers.

7. Once enough people have read to the class, you can ask the students what is going on in the dialogue, who is speaking, and what are the speakers trying to do.

1. Tell students they will be practicing speaking. Ask them what some of their favorite songs are. Tell them they should be appropriate for a class.

2. Write down some artists and song names on the white board or projected google document.

3. Finish off the brainstorm with one of your favorite songs or artists.

4. Show your song lyrics on the projector.

5. Demonstrate the activity with another TA or student and take turns reading the lyrics like they are a conversation. EX:

A: It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside

B: I'm not one of those who can easily hide

A: I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did

B: I'd buy a big house where we both could live

A: If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no

B: Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show

A: I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do

B: My gift is my song, and this one's for you

~Elton John:"Your Song"

6. Have the students find the lyrics to the songs they enjoy. They then need to read the song without singing it with a partner.

7. If they work in pairs, they can practice both songs and present one.

8. Give them time to find a song and then time to practice reading it with their partner. Make sure they do not spend too much time finding a song.

9. At the end, have the students present their song to the class.
