B1 class 25/04/2016

We have started the class as usual, with the idiom of the day. This time it's related to food as this is what we've been looking at lately. The idiom is an egg head. Tomorrow I'll publish the meaning.

Then we corrected the homework, exercise 9 on page 65 about the use of quantifiers.

After this we used some visuals (picture 1) to practise containers and quantifiers. Students sent pictures of their fridges and in pairs they had to describe them and guess who each fridge belonged to. From this fridge we could say there are plenty of cans of coke and beer and too many cartons of milk.

The next activity also included visuals. With a picture of some food students again in pairs had to organise a dinner party for four people saying whether the food and drinks hey had was enough or they had do the shopping.
Some expressions were provided in order to help students produce their conversation. Those expressions included pieces of grammar we had already seen in class such as indirect questions or future expressions like in case. In the end most of the students decided to cook spaghetti carbonara and a salad, and they agreed some more beer was necessary.

To introduce the next activities students explained what their favourite places for swimming were, river, sea or swimming pool. After this we continued the lesson with a listening activity about shark attacks on the American coast. This was related to the last piece of homework, a reading comprehension about a shark attack. To finish the lesson the structure of a formal letter to the Mayor of Valencia was explained. On the blackboard (picture 3) you can see a detailed explanation of the things to be included in the letter.
