Hello guys, nice to meet you in this morning. Here, I want to show you my lesson plan in conversation. In this post, we will talk about compliment and compliment response. But before I give my student lesson about it, I will ask them to speak out. I will divide this post into three activity


A. Pre-Activities

I provide a video above about Taylor Swift. I ask my students to retell about the article in video by using their own words.

Compliment Response is an utterance to respond to compliment given.
Examples:

d. Question: Really?
e. Downgrade: This is a second-hand product.

The following activities, the students will identify some utterances from the video below.
Which utterance is compliment and compliment response? Please provide a table consist of two columns.

After that, the teacher asks the students to read their works. The teacher must correct incorrect utterance and pronunciations. After this, the teacher asks the students to give some comments (They must use compliment) about some character in the following video. For instance: I like the boy. He is really cute. The girl has beautiful hair.

C. Post Activity
The teacher asks the student to give four compliment (different topics) to four different students. It would be fun if they make in some sentence each topic. Make sure the complimentee will respond to compliment for complimenter.
