Teacher’s notes and lesson plan
Print out or share on screen the whole lesson and go through it with your students. The objective is to have fun through stimulating discussion and practicing fluency. Do what works, abandon anything that seems tiresome. This lesson plan was written before AI became all the rage, you could discuss how AI chat bots might help students, though I personally would recommend emphasising the importance of human interaction (whose side are you on, human?)
