Structure of the class (unless you attach your lesson plan below):
Students spent about 15 minutes learning new beginners to intermediate vocabularies/expressions from a sheet of paper I prepared for them.
Then, students were given a piece of paper with simple facts of the character they have to act during speed dating. Students add some interesting facts on their character and three questions they want to ask to speed dating partners.
After they finished preparing questions, they did speed dating for two minutes with each partner and try to find potential partner!
After the speed dating, each student share their character and their favorite partner!
