Idiom of the day this afternoon was 'under the weather', very appropriate for a day like today. We started the lesson checking the homework: exercise 6 from page 9 and exercise 1 from page 10.
Then we had a speaking activity using the adjectives that describe feelings from exercise 1. The purpose of the activity was to talk about different situations in which the students, or people they know, felt like that.
After this we did a listening activity about a group of friends who were talking about being a member of a club and different clubs they knew such as a book club. This activity introduced the reading activity afterwards that was given for homework. Students must read the text and do exercises 4c and 5. Also, related to the text, students must do exercise 6. All these activities are on page 10 and 11.
To finish the lesson I introduced the concept of 'small talk' and we were discussing the last time we met a new person, what we talked about and our present relationship with that person.
All the speaking activities we've done today involved student-student interaction first, and student-teacher interaction afterwards. When students work in pairs, the purpose of the activity is to improve fluency, whereas when they talk to the teacher the purpose is to improve correction.
And that was pretty much everything, see you all next class.
