Today's lesson

• Exam questions
• Grammar
• New project (research)

Create exam-type questions for each unit

Exam-type questions could be:

• multiple choice questions
• fill in the gap questions
• matching exercises
• ... anything you can think of

Form a small group and pick one of the units (every unit should be covered)!

One piece of paper

Write down the question, and make sure that other people can answer the question as well.

The other piece of paper

On the other paper, you write down the answers to the questions that you could think of 

5 questions!

The mock exam

See how well you know the words from units 44-46.

Can you complete the mock exam?

Next week, the real test will take place. INCLUDING UNIT 47

Finished?

Go study the words from units 44-47.

Is everyone finished?

You are going to check the tests!

Get into the same pairs and check the answers.

The people that were not here will check the answers to the last few questions (I created those).

Research Question

Who is/are responsible for Brexit?

What interesting facts can you find about Brexit?

What aspects do you find interesting? Use your interests!

Sources

Use the internet to answer the questions.

Pay attention to what sources are trustworthy/reliable to use!

Think of three subquestions to get an answer to the research question.

Thursday:
