VLOG!

3H: As you might have already read in the weekly task for English, you're going to create a vlog!

What is very important, is that you're able to communicate well with your virtual audience.

 Today I will tell you which grammar rules to keep in mind while creating your vlog.

Preparation for next week

3VG: Next week you're going to individually create an English vlog at home (more information will follow). 

Lesson aim: During this class we'll focus on how to communicate well with your audience at that exact moment using the appropriate grammar tenses (present simple vs. present continuous).

Present continuous

When do we use it?

After 5 minutes, we're going to discuss some of your ideas.

This is a fun assignment, but take it seriously!

Working individually

5 - 10 minutes

Do the exercise(s) that the teacher has sent you through magister mail about the present simple vs. continuous.

Question: Use the chat to send your teacher a private message.

Afterwards, we'll check your answers.

Game final minutes of class:

1. Teacher chooses a student.

2. Task student: Select a thing that is in your room right now. Describe your item in a couple of sentences. 

3. Let your classmates guess what it is.

ZOOM rule: Don’t raise your voice if you know the answer. In a soft voice (but not too soft) say in English that you know the answer.
