35 mins Learners-Learners
Learners access the website Ted Ed and watch the video What is love?

Development and Application (corpus research)
20 mins Learners-Learners
In the next stage, they learn how to use YouTube to copy the video transcript. With the transcription in hand, they use the website VersaText to investigate the terms found. Through the use of the concordance lines, the teacher asks learners what they can conclude about the content from the video.
Suggestion: Learners do Activity 2 as homework. If learners do Activity 2 as homework, the next part of the lesson can begin with a discussion of the results (it is important to note that the teacher should explain the steps described above so that the learners can do Activity 2 as homework).
Application
20 mins Learners-Learners
If learners do Activity 2 as homework, it is recommended that the next part of the lesson begins with a discussion of the results.
If Activity 2 is completed during the class, the teacher can start the next part of the lesson with the 90 Days song video clip. Based on the clip, ask learners for information about the singer Pink (please follow the same procedure if you have chosen to use the song Exile).
Then, learners do a listening comprehension activity of the song using the Lyrics Training website.
30 mins Learners-Learners
In groups, learners look for the song lyrics in English and use the website VersaText to answer questions 3, 4 and 5. Learners then have a general discussion regarding their conclusions.
Conclusion
20 mins Teacher-Learners
The teacher provides learners with feedback and discusses learners’ role during the activities.
Assessment
Learners are continuously assessed as they complete each activity. The final outcome (it could be done in a presentation format) is learners’ critical analysis of the class topic based on the data obtained in the activities.
