4. APPLICATION

a. Objective: To help students apply the vocabulary, structures, and writing format into a highly creative, real-life context at home.

b. Content: Students carry out a creative take-home project: "The Next Big Thing: Inventor's Pitch".

c. Product: A mini-poster about a self-created invention.

d. Organization:

Step 1: Teacher assigns learning tasks

- Teacher gives the instruction: Think of a common problem in your daily student life (e.g., waking up early, carrying heavy books). Invent a futuristic machine or tool to solve it.

- Task requirements:

1. Use a graphic design software (e.g., Canva) to design a digital mini-poster illustrating your invention.

2. Type a short "Promotional Pitch" (about 80 - 100 words) directly onto the digital poster using the expressions learned today (enable us to, are used for, one of the benefits...) to highlight its top 2 benefits.

3. Prepare to "sell" it to the class in the next speaking/review lesson.

Step 2: Students perform learning tasks

- Students write down the requirements. They will brainstorm, draw, and write their pitch at home.

Step 3: Reporting and Discussion 

- Teacher provides a link to a class digital gallery (e.g., Padlet). Students are instructed to upload their finished digital posters to this link before the next class.

- Teacher informs students that they will do a "Gallery Walk" in the next class where they display their posters and vote for the most useful invention.

Step 4: Evaluation

- Teacher summarizes the lesson, emphasizing the structures for writing about benefits.

[3.1.NC1a]: Students design and format a multimedia digital poster using graphic design software (Canva), integrating text and digital imagery.

[2.2.NC1a]: Students share their digital posters by uploading them to a shared class Padlet, enabling a virtual gallery walk for peer engagement.

* HOMEWORK

- Complete the "Inventor's Pitch" mission in Application.

- Review useful expressions and structures to describe the uses of inventions.

- Prepare for the next lesson: Lesson 7 - Communication and Culture / CLIL.
