3. The teacher will show a video with a fragment of the Friends series about the use of prediction, wishes and plans.   

Talking about future plans with Friends

According to the above, the teacher will write the corresponding actions that the students have said (verbs) with the respective expressions in the future in order to be clear about the purpose of the class to talk about plans. The teacher will provide some expression to use future.

After this, the teacher will play two Tik Tok videos with a fast video format but      complete information on a specific topic. These two videos of 30 seconds each will explain the difference between wish, and progressive future. Then the teacher will ask the difference between the plans and wishes that the students have. The teacher will clarify with the same examples given by the students the semantic differences between the future tense structures, he will also do a brief check on the previous knowledge of the students regarding English verbs and pronunciation. Finally, there will be a last video on predictions and wishes in a TV program format in order to place the theme in a daily situation.

Controlled Practice 

First Part (45 minutes)

• -          The teacher is going to divide the course in couples.
•      The students will be able to create a complete a dream travel plan. This trip has to take place, time of stay, plans, things that the students think will happen. To carry out this travel plan, they must take into account that they only have 1500 dollars.
•     Then, students will create a tourist guide brochure with the plans they have about this trip. They can use apps like canva, power point or they can do a handmade. 

This part of the class the students will begin to carry out their practices in group, this in order to strengthen their teamwork with the objective of completing a task satisfactorily. In this part, the students will have the challenge of finding common interests to create a travel plan with certain limitations, so that each work group can overcome the challenge in an ingenious way.

After this, the students will create a brochure about the trip plan that they have subsequently created, if it is remotely, they can use apps such as canva or power point. If the class is taking place in person, it will be necessary to make a hand made with clippings and precise information about your travel plan. Due to the fact that in this topic they must talk about dates, prices and other topics, it is important to take into account the previous knowledge that each student has, in topics of syntax, phonetics and the other branches of linguistics because it is a varied topic that is given to be worked openly.

Example: 

Second part (45 minutes)

1.      Each couple will present their brochure and will explain what their wishes on that dream trip are.  

2.      Then, each student will create a short TikTok video of 30 seconds talking about their dream trip different to the brochure and they will share things that they will do when that dream comes true. 

• How to do a TikTok video: This is a REAL BTS of how I create my TikTok videos!
• Example: My dream trip to Walt Disney World

In this part, the first knowledge about the creation of short videos with easy editions will be given through a video. It is important to clarify the importance of creating these videos because TikTok is a platform with a high rate of popularity and the content that will be worked on is purely educational and entertainment. The videos will be previously checked by the teacher since the students will choose whether to publish them or not. Additionally, each group of students will talk about different countries or places in order to talk about diversity when traveling, taking into account important aspects and details based on wishes and future plans in a dream trip.

Wrap up  20 minutes 

1.  Finally, all the class will share their TikToks in order to share the different places and plans that each student has.   

Taking into account that the pedagogical proposal is focused on increasing motivation of the student through learning alternatives, it is relevant that the topics be of interest to them; in this case each topic is relevant since the student is given freedom to choose their topic of interest but working within the learning standards already given by the teacher.
