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
