Introduction (10 mins.)
First, T start the lesson by asking Ss if they remember any special moments from their childhood. T encourages them to share their memories with the class. Next, T hands out a quiz to each Ss and asks them to answer it. T shows some flashcards of verbs to help them understand the questions. Then, T hands out a set of images to each S and asks them to label the verbs. Finally, T checks Ss’ answers and provide feedback. 
Development (20 mins.)
T explains what an anecdote is: a short, personal story about something interesting or funny that happened. T provides a few simple examples of anecdotes and their characteristics.
For example: 
“Yesterday, my dog chased its tail for five minutes”.
"One time, I tripped in front of my class. Everyone laughed, but then the teacher said it happens to everyone."
Key characteristics: Short and interesting. Based on real events. They are often personal. Contains a clear beginning, middle and end. 
After that, T hands out a worksheet to each S and asks them to identify which text is an anecdote and explain why. Then, T asks Ss to read a short anecdote and answer some comprehension questions. Finally, Ss put some images related to the story in order.
