B1 class 21/03/2016

First class after Fallas holidays so we started the lesson with a warm-up speaking exercise talking about what everyone had done during Fallas. 

Then I introduced the idiom of the day: like father like son. The reason for this idiom is that last Saturday it was Father's Day. It quite self-explanatory but tomorrow I'll write another post with its meaning.

We continued the lesson with unit 7 and some vocabulary and speaking. First in pairs students had a look at the meaning of some expressions related to goals and achievements, then they asked each other in pairs to practise fluency and finally the asked the questions out loud to practise accuracy. As a novelty we changed the position of the classroom and we used the TV to project the book and we used it as a blackboard.

After this we saw some expressions other than can and could to describe ability and the form of the verbs that goes after these expressions, either vb-ing/noun or an infinitive. Students discussed some of the things they are good and bad at in order to practise it.

For homework there's the reading exercise on page 54 and exercises 6-7 on page 55.
