Freer practice (12-15 minutes) • Allow ss to practice fluency speaking and using adjectives ending with -ed/-ing

This speaking activity will be in the form of a 'Tell us about' game. T first performs a demo and then ss are handed mini flashcards on which written topics they need to build on and elaborate. when possible, ss will be prompted and asked questions to get them to talk more. After a few rounds, ss choose the cards themselves and reminded to use adjectives ending in -ed/-ing from a list of verbs displayed for all. Meanwhile, T takes notes of any language that needs to be mentioned when giving content feedback.
