The aim of this activity is to reach an agreement. Each student is given a piece of paper with information about his or her priorities for example "you want to be home before 3" or "you only eat vegeterian food". Once they have read it, I give them the instructions, for example " We want to celebrate Anna's birthday tonight, what shall we do?" You have ten minutes to decide where we go, at what time we meet, until what time...
And where is new technology? Well, the conversation takes place in a whatsapp group! Students feel more motivated and shy students are encouraged to participate more. I always take part in these conversations in order to guide them when necessary and to use some vocabulary that may be new for them.
As you will see in this example there are always mistakes (of course, they are learning!) So what I usually do is to print the conversation and bring it to class so that they can find their own mistakes.
