10mins: Introduction:

Online homework: Discuss any problems or difficulties the student may be having.

Independent reading: Ask the student about what they have read in English during the last week. If you are reading a novel together, discuss the assigned reading and any vocabulary words/ writing assignments.

Discussion:

What might be good ways of looking after yourself when you have to stay at home?

- making to-do lists of schedules

- getting plenty of exercise

- getting enough sleep

- staying in touch with family and friends

- taking a break from the news

Which idea do you think is best?

10mins: Writing Extension: Healthy lifestyles - Students will write a mini-article about ways to be healthy at home. They can include ideas that were discussed in the speaking practice or think up new ones.

Useful terms: eating clean / cutting carbs / self care / self love / practicing mindfulness / wellbeing / mental health / take a break / treat yourself

15mins: Test: 44 listening practice - part 3

**20mins: **Module 3 - Student Podcast. Students will present their proposal to the class. The teacher will give ideas and feedback to help develop these ideas. Students will work on developing a research plan.

Step 1: Collect data and resources

Step 2: Analyse data and resources

Step 3: Write a paper to explain the findings

Step 4: Modify the paper into a script

Step 5: Record the script

Students will begin Step 1 during the lesson. Students will be asked to find three different sources to answer their 'question'. These sources will need to be recorded and approved by the teacher. Students will continue research for homework. They will need to come to the next lesson prepared with their sources. (Encourage students to think outside the internet! Do they have a professor at school who may have some knowledge on the topic? A family friend? A book at home?)

**05mins: **Warm down: Goodbye, see you next time. Encourage students to do additional reading for vocabulary building outside of the lesson. News articles, short stories, and novels are all great examples.
