Description

In this lesson, students will learn and practice the question form of "be going to" and short answers through a guided discovery on a dialogue about a surprise birthday party. The lesson starts with a little discussion about different types of parties. Jumbled words will lead the students to access the dialogue. After working on the form and short answers, students practice short answers and drilling through an activity. This is followed by another controlled practice in which the students correct the mistakes with the form. Finally, students will play a game in which they write a story about themselves. If time, students are going to plan a surprise party for their best friends.
