will be uploaded to a webpage called “Educabot” which the institution chose as a campus
for their students.

I will greet students and ask them how they are today. While the teacher listens to
students´ comments, she will ask each of them to take a seat. As the teacher listens to
them, she will prepare her computer to connect online with the other half of students.

clip programme I will share with them. Also, I will ask them to read carefully the
information given and answer the following questions:
What type of things do you think Gavin needs to learn on his first day at work?
