Clarify the problem and set goals.

Organize

10 mins

• Divide students into two pairs (breakout rooms) to plan their stories.

• Use graphic organizers (mind maps for events).

Facilitate collaborative planning, reinforce language structures.

Build

15 mins

• Students construct their narratives, incorporating vocabulary, possessive adjectives, and nationality expressions.
• Use digital tools (Google Docs or Jamboard) for writing.

Develop language skills, cultural awareness, and critical thinking.

Verify & Analyze

10 mins

• Students share their stories with the class via Zoom.
