Hi everyone, I hope you found my presentation interesting. I used the Miro website to show what I had prepared. I think I managed to do all the steps, but as the others said, I shouldn’t have used other tenses for my examples; it was a bit too much for an initiation.

Hi, I’ll go with: 9. Modal “have to” for obligation

Hi again, these were some examples I couldn’t show you during the Zoom call :

1. “Did you go shopping this weekend ?”
“Yes, I went to the mall on Saturday.”
==> shopping on Saturday
2. “Did you go to the movies this weekend ?”
“No, I didn’t, I was very tired.”
==> too tired to go to the movies

I’m happy to see that you enjoyed the activity and it didn’t seem unclear to you.
I asked Louise to begin; that way, the students don’t have to ask who goes first.
An example of the task : ‘Did you travel this weekend” ? “Yes, I went to Paris.”
I liked the fact Louise showed her notes : Where ? Paris.
Writing interrogative pronouns is accurate and clever here.

About Louise’s ‘Word tennis’ task, she stood up to give the instructions which was great to draw attention.
– A time limit is good, otherwise this could last forever. If you set a time limit to, let’s say 3 minutes, and the students keep giving answers until the end, then it’s a draw.
– Giving 10 seconds to find a word seems fair.
– Instead of listing animal related words, it could be more specific, like farm animals or animal body parts.
=> these aspects make the game more challenging and organized.

Now, regarding Gifty’s ‘What’s my job?’ task, we had to guess the other person’s occupation by asking yes or no questions.
I would say the same here;
– setting a time limit is essential for a task like this one so everyone gets to play (1 minute to find the occupation).
– or, for lower-level students, you could set a limited number of questions, so they can have more time to think this through (5 to 7 questions could be good).

Let me know what you think!

thanks for your reply !
