Watch for the first-watch question. Try the questions and speaking tasks before opening models. Use follow-ups flexibly, then retry one answer after feedback.

Read the vocabulary, watch for the main situation, then replay the selected scene as needed. Speak aloud before opening each model. Take both roles in the final task.

• The ski scene is a cartoon comparison, not skiing instruction. Use seated or paper-based classroom demonstrations.
• The guitar clip shows a game-controller performance. Do not claim that it proves real-instrument ability or a particular practice history.
• Use the selected ranges only. Clip 2 includes mild damn in the praise; it is not a vocabulary target.
• Students can choose invented skills. Build a short answer with a reason before opening a model.
• All six speaking models are collapsed text support. The four model-reply recordings match the learner’s You say task.
• Keep all five scoring forms separate, with six questions per clip and one in each grammar section.
• No written homework is required.

1. 0–5 minutes · Warm up: choose a skill

   What would you like to learn? Tell me one thing that could help you.

   • Use the two warm-up questions and their optional follow-ups.
   • Let students choose an imaginary example if they prefer.
   • Keep one chosen skill for the final task.
2. 5–8 minutes · Prepare for a ski demonstration

   The instructor uses familiar shapes to explain two ski positions. We are discussing how explanations work, not learning to ski.

   • Teach the four vocabulary cards above Clip 1.
   • Play their Amanda examples.
   • Ask what helps students follow a demonstration.
3. 8–13 minutes · Watch the selected ski demonstration

   Watch how the ski tips are positioned. Then notice the comic consequence of using a position at the wrong moment.

   • Use the first-watch question.
   • Replay the selected interval with its printed captions.
   • Ask for one observed detail and one interpretation.
4. 13–17 minutes · Clip 1: six quick questions

   Choose an answer, then tell me what helped you decide.

   • Complete the six Clip 1 questions.
   • Use the explanations for brief feedback.
   • Replay a relevant moment only if there is a real disagreement.
5. 17–19 minutes · Grammar: intention and prediction

   A plan describes an intention. A prediction explains what the evidence suggests will happen. Which meaning fits the question?

   • Compare the two meanings of going to.
   • Complete the one contextual grammar question.
   • Ask for a plan and a separate evidence-based prediction.
6. 19–25 minutes · Clip 1: talk and help a friend

   Try your own answer first. The model is there to give you ideas afterwards.

   • Use the three speaking tasks in order: the scene, a personal or invented example, then a helpful-friend roleplay.
   • Give about two minutes to each task.
   • Reveal a model answer only after an attempt or when support is needed.
7. 25–28 minutes · Prepare for the controller demonstration

   This performer uses a game controller. Watch his actions without assuming we know how he practised.

   • Teach the four vocabulary cards.
   • Explain game controller if necessary.
   • Set the first-watch task.
8. 28–32 minutes · Watch the selected controller demonstration

   What does he use, and what do the audience do?

   • Watch once for the main situation.
   • Replay for hand movements and audience response.
   • Keep earlier practice history as an open question.
9. 32–37 minutes · Clip 2: six quick questions

   You only need the short scene we watched. The game names are not part of the questions.

   • Complete the six Clip 2 questions.
   • Ask for a short reason for each scene answer.
   • Give the application questions without replaying the clip.
10. 37–39 minutes · Grammar: ask about learning before

    After did, use the simple action word: Where did you learn, not where did you learned.

    • Read the explanation and three examples.
    • Complete the single grammar question.
    • Ask one real or imaginary past-learning question.
11. 39–45 minutes · Clip 2: share skills

    Find out how someone learned something. Ask a follow-up question.

    • Use the scene, experience and roleplay speaking tasks in order.
    • Allow students to use a skill they would like to learn if they cannot recall a real example.
    • Keep the model answers collapsed until after speaking.
12. 45–52 minutes · Listen, repeat and make it yours

    Listen to the phrase and repeat it once. Try the Your turn task yourself, then listen to the model answer.

    • Use the four phrase cards after the clips.
    • Play each phrase cue and practise its pronunciation.
    • Give thinking time for the You Say task before revealing the learner-role model reply.
    • Play the reply cue, compare answers, then ask two new questions using the cards.
13. 52–58 minutes · Put it all together: the five-day skill challenge

    Choose a skill and agree on a small plan. Both people should ask questions and offer ideas.

    • Run a two-minute conversation, then change roles for a second short conversation.
    • Ask for a 30-second plan summary.
    • Use the success checklist for brief feedback.

    • Use remaining time to praise one specific successful question or clear plan.
