Last Week (18th-22nd January)

Last week we finished lesson 6A, Decisions and Choices :
-Listening and Grammar (activities 3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9). We worked on different tenses used to express future (which we practiced on Thursday with a communicative activity) and learnt about the first conditional
-We  moved to lesson 6B , Protective parents, where we did some reading "The  Parent Trap" and looked at zero conditionals

Past Perfect and Extra material

I thought that this teacher's explanation would make it easier for you to understand this new verb tense. In order to study it, I asked students to do activity 2 from this handout (click here to download it). Students were also asked to read the grammar section on Past  Perfect G.4.3 (page 138).

Thursday 14/01/2010

On Thursday we finished lesson 5B, we corrected the grammar activities, worked on intonation and practised speaking talking about things students:

a) had arrranged to do b) had planned to do and c) would probably do in the next 4 weeks.

I also gave them a handout to revise vocabulary (we did the first part in class and the second was set for homework. I have extra copies, ask for them tomorrow in class)

After the break we started lesson 6A Decisions and choices and covered activity 1: vocabulary make and do.
Remember: we tend to use make for "food" words while we use do for "study"words and jobs connected to the house.
HOMEWORK: finish the handout and read grammar page3 G6.1 First Conditional
