QUOTE::Presenting

Post task: 

• Analysing the students sentences 
• Focus on the passive sentences, ask how this type of sentence is formed

Analyse

QUOTE NEEDED: :  Notice theory quote. 

Post task: 

• Make up a murder and write in 1 sentence who killed someone, with what, and where
• Now rewrite the sentence as if you don't know who the killer is ?
• Ask the pupils the reason why they wrote the second  sentence the way they did  (if they change the tense, ask them if it still means the same) 

Practice

“It is worth working with your students to make sure they understand how language takes on different meaning depending on the context and how it is said, and that they get practice in making and interpreting language.” (Scrivener, 2019,“p115) 

Post task 

Let's collect the words which we have used a lot today.  Students have to make a wordweb & teacher stimulates synonyms.

Scrivener: "Our job is not to finish as soon as students have met some new lexis, we need to help them practice, learn, store, recall and use items (p188- 2019)
