We started the class, working with the phrasal verbs on p.108 from the coursebook. The students had to read 3 texts and complete the gaps with the most suitable phrasal from the list.
Then, we read the grammar point and we learnt there are different types of phrasals in English, depending on their structure. We practised how to use them in everyday language by asking some personal questions to our classmates.
Finally, we reviewed the text on p.111 and corrected the vocabulary exercise which consisted of matching phrasals and definitions.
Finally, we listened to 4 different people explaining what 2 things they couldn't live without for 1 week.(t.7.16)

During this class, we studied and worked the indirect questions. We started the session reading and listening to an extract form a detective novel. Then, the students had to identify the questions asked by an inspector.
Once they were identified, we compared them and found out that some were direct and others indirect. We practised how to maske indirect questions with the grammar exercises on p.143 (7B-b).
Then, we listened to some questions on the CD and we turned them immediately into indirect questions and ckecked. To consolidate this new structure we did two oral activities, one in which the students asked some personal questions to their classmates in a polite way, and other in which the students acted out as tourist guides and were asked some information questions.
After that, we moved to the vocabulary section and talked about compouns: they consist of two nouns that go together. The first noun works as an adjective and qualifies the second noun. They're normally written separately (police station), with a hyphen (can-opener) or together (sunbathe).
To check our knowledge about compounds, we did a race game. The student had to answer a series of questions in 2 minutes, using compound nouns.
To finish the class, we talked about TV habits, first, we checked the vocabulary and then answered the questionnaire in pairs.
Homework: Read the text on p.111 and complete exercises 5a,b,c,d,e

During this class we finished the topic about good and bad luck, correcting the exercises from the text on p.102 and listening to a song written by Alannis Morriset "Ironic" (videos)
After that, we explained the difference in use between which and what as relative pronouns.
We mainly use which, after nouns and what after prepositions and vers, and always when it means "the thing/s which".
Then, we moved to a new topic, and started to talk about murder and mystery. We read a text on p.104 about Jack the Ripper", we answered the comprehension questions and finally we listened to a detective talking about the suspects of the crimes.(T.7.6,7.7)
We finished the class, explaining the grammar point about question tags, we completed the grammar bank exercises and did an oral activity to consolidate this new structure (ex.3c)
Homework: Grammar bank p.143, ex.7B-b

We started the session revising the grammar points studied in unit 6. To do so, we did some rephrasing sentences. Here's a direct link to that practice:

Rephrasing exercises
After that, we started a new unit from the coursebook, unit 7.
First, we explained and elicited some ideas of what is good or bad luck in Spain, then, we read two texts about two different situations in which some people experienced good and bad luck.(TT.7.1,7.2)
These stories were unfinished, and the students, before listening to what happened next, had to make their own speculations and then, check if they were right.
Then, we read a questionnaire about how lucky they were. They answered the questions, compared their answers in pairs and finally, checked what their scored meant.
To finish, we studied how to make adjectives from nouns adding suffixes like, -able or -y. And how to form their negative form adding prefixes like im- or un-
Homework: Read the text on p.102 and do exercises 5a,b,c
