Introduction:
1. Skit on match.com

profile online at Match.com for a âme soeur. I will say…
“ Faire le profil d’amour à Match.com… Je cherche pour une âme
soeur… je préfère une homme peut-être. Oui, c’est ca!”
Les premières questions… Qu’est ce que vous aimez?... C’est
facile, je sais ce question. Alors, J’aime l’exercice… les chiens…
et manger au restaurants élégants. J’aime la cinéma aussi!“
“Mais, Qu’est ce que je n’aime pas…? Ah, les chats, je n’aime pas
les chats… et le brocoli, no merci…”
Suivant… Comment êtes-vous? Ah this is new… êtes… être… Ah
alors… Je suis intelligent, parce que j’étude a l’université, Je
suis sociable, j’aime parler avec mes amies… et je suis sportive
aussi, parce que j’aime courir chaque jour… C’est suffi..”

3. Explain objectives for the day

“After today, you will be able to create your own personal
profile to find your very one true soulmate”
Model a skit so they can
figure out what they will be
learning, and doing for the

While having a setting on the

than two minutes, then regroup and have each one read at least
one passage and ask them to present what they think it means

This will be the activity we start but maybe not finish in the

direct instruction. I want them
to hypothesize what may be
