👣 Step-by-Step Teaching Procedure

1. Warm-Up & Pair Planning (Part A)

• Put students into pairs and give each a worksheet.
• Students discuss and plan a class party by making suggestions using expressions like: “Why don’t we…?” / “Let’s…” / “What about…?”
• They choose ideas for music, food, location, games, etc., and write their decisions.

2. Combine and Collaborate (Part B)

• Merge two pairs into a group of four.
• As a group, they combine the best ideas from each pair and finalize their party plan.
• Now, each student makes polite requests to delegate tasks: “Could you bring snacks?” / “Would you mind booking the venue?”
  • They write down who is doing what in the boxes provided.

3. Present & Vote

• Each group shares their party plan with the class.
• Encourage students to explain their choices and use request/suggestion language.
• The class then votes on the most exciting, creative, or well-planned party!
