Elicit – what we do when we meet new people? – ask questions Ss find their new partner by matching the beginning and end of a question Ss in pairs match question halves Monitor and help if needed Ss check against ans key. Deal with any issues Ss in small groups match the qus from ex 1 to their tense – considering if they’re present or past. W/C FB – deal with any issues/questions about form Elicit which 2 tenses are not included – consider why (because past perfect isn’t used in isolation, but in relation to other past tenses to show sequence) Drill questions, focusing on clear models of stress and intonation.
Ss use the questions to interview each other - & see if their answers are the same. Monitor and help where needed. General FB w/c
