English week 7. Valentine's day & grammar

Lesson goals

- Students will expand their vocabulary by practicing the use of Unit 3 words in the context of writing Valentine's Day-themed content, such as love letters or stories.

- Students will grasp the concept of indirect and direct speech through interactive explanations and examples.

What's the most romantic gesture you've ever received or witnessed?

Do you have a favourite romantic movie or book? What do you love about it?"

What makes a gesture truly romantic or meaningful?

Welcome to the Valentine's Day Love Letter Challenge!

 Your task is to write a love letter or story using the following words from your Unit 3 word list: awkward, value, grin, ache, and gesture.

Imagine you're penning down your deepest feelings to your secret crush, your long-time partner, or perhaps even a fictional character! Get creative, pour your heart out, and let your words evoke the magic of love!

Direct and Indirect speech

Voorbeeld: Harry Potter and the Philisopher's stone - 

J.K. Rowling

Direct speech: Als je letterlijk opschrijft wat iemand zegt. 

"..."  (paars)

Indirect speech: als je omschrijft wat iemand heeft gezegd of gedacht. (roze)

Direct speech

Twee tijden in 1 zin! 

"I really enjoy reading books," she told the librerian. 

enjoy = present tense (tegenwoordige tijd)

told = past tense (verleden tijd)

indirect speech

She told the librerian she really enjoyed books. 

In indirect speech, staat de gehele zin in dezelfde tijd.
