• Engels
• Middelbare school
• havo, vwo
• Leerjaar 1

After today... 

- I can ask and answer questions in the present simple and the present continuous 

- I can understand a text about someone who designed an app 

First, a look at the worksheet 

What you were supposed to do: 

- On the left: what he usually does

- On the right: what he's doing right now 

Extra challenge: figuring out what the pictures are! 

TABOO: a speaking activity

Would you ask a complete stranger (or your teacher) the questions on the next slides? 

Would you ask this person.....
"What colour underwear are you wearing?"

1. Absolutely, why not?
2. No, I'd rather not.

Would you ask this person...
"Do you have a secret crush on anybody? "

1. Absolutely
2. Absolutely not

Would you ask this person...
"Do you ever pick your nose?"

1. Sure
2. Nope

Write down a question you
would not want to answer.

Here's what we're going to do

1. You write ten taboo questions. You can ask anything you want, no matter how awkward it is, as long as it's in the present simple or the present continuous. More advanced students can also use the present perfect: (Have you ever..... ) 

BUT

2. You don't know whether you're going to be asking or answering the questions. 

3. You work in pairs. 

4. One of you takes a dice (dobbelsteen) or finds a dice-app. 1, 2 or 3 on the dice? You ask the question and the other person has to answer it. 4, 5, or 6? You read out one of your own questions and you answer it yourself. 

5. I will do a full class evaluation round about the taboo questions 5 minutes before the end of the lesson. 

Early finishers: 

Option 1: get some Big Challenge practice in. 

Option 2: Design your dream weekend! 
Describe all your ideas in the present continuous

You don't have to be realistic! 

Example on the next page 

Example 

"On Friday evening I'm flying to Iceland with my best friend. We're going swimming in the Blue Lagoon and then we're driving to the biggest waterfall. On Saturday morning we're having breakfast at the edge of the volcano. Next we're going diving between two continental plates. In the afternoon we're flying to New York City. We're going shopping and we're seeing a musical on Broadway..."                                         etc.
