The beginning of the lesson
(Slide 1)
Good morning, boys and girls. Glad to meet you at our lesson. How are you, ….?
Let`s start. As you can see, there`s no topic today. A bit later you`ll tell yourselves what our topic will be.

Exercise 1
Give Ss a minute - Ss write down in the chat (on the whiteboard) as many of the technology words they can remember from the unit so far.
*Individual task (who cannot speak) - https://wordwall.net/play/25819/934/275
- in the chat there is a link for a game. Try to match the word combinations with the pictures
Lead-in
• (Books closed) Ask - What is your favourite item of technology (device)? What do you usually do with or on them? (Slide 3)
Set the goals of the lesson (slide 1)
Ss open their books on page 42 (or slide 4) and look at Exercise 4, then close their books.
Ask - What will we learn today? (slide 1) – write the topic
Say - We will speak about technology in your life and prepare to write a short text about it.
During our synchronous part (25 minutes) of the lesson we`ll read an assay and discuss it. We will also learn the usage of words also and too in the sentences and revise the usage of The Present Continuous Tense.
During our asynchronous part of the lesson you`ll work with short listening according to the topic and answer the questions to check your understanding of the text. And finally you`ll write a short assay about how you use technology in your life – it will be your home task.

(in the chat there is a link. Follow the link (Wordwall) - https://wordwall.net/play/38120/849/781 , write your name and choose the correct answer (You`ll have 3 minutes for your work)
Now, look at the text and tell me, please, what grammar tense is used in it?
You`re right – the Present Simple Tense.
Now your task is to read one of the sentences and put it into the Present Continuous. Who will remind the rule?

Peer work – One of you is reading the sentence and the other – tell it in the Present Continuous (you can name the pupil to answer yourselves and correct him/ her)
Summing up - slide 8
A Minute of Relaxation
Now, let`s have a rest. Close your eyes, imagine that you`ve got a flying time capsule. It`s summer. The weather is fine. You`re sitting in a cosy armchair in it and flying over our beautiful country- Ukraine, over the Dnipro and forests, over the cities and marvelous villages. Where are you flying? What place have you chosen? ….Open your eyes, do some exercises for your neck.
Tell me, please, what are your places?
Ss` answers
Slide 9
Now, let`s do our last exercise together and then you`ll have time for your asynchronous work.
Look at p.42 again. Do you understand the words ALSO and TOO in the text?
Pay attention that also is usually used before a verb and too – at the end of a sentence.
Let`s do the exercise. We`ll do it orally (if time is left- in written form) – one by one.
