Students have to check their answers while listening to the same text from the book.
I will write a direct speech on the board and its backshift and what do is it mean? asking the students CCQs: who is the actual speaker in the direct speech? and who is reporting the speech? "I Play football" --- He said: " he played football". present simple backshifts to past simple. and past simple to a past perfect present continuous to past continuous present perfect to past perfect then I will drill every sentence for pronunciation.
Students are going with pairs to answer the question about the reported speech. They have to fill the gaps with a correct form of the verb in the indirect speech and the actual speaker as well. I will monitor them and then they have to work together to check their answers. they have to find new partner to check their answers.
Students have to talk about themselves, then in a group they will report what their partner said using the TL we clarified and practiced before. I will monitor them to find out errors and make notes, at the end, if there are errors, I will correct them.
