"where is he/she from?" "what is your favourite music type?" they need to get answers from at least 3 people. FB: peer check, they compare their answer for 1 min. WC - ask a couple of students what they found out
Slide: quiz HO: quiz -Model 1-2 questions ** they don't all begin with wh (how long/many/old) - model one of those as well (1) ..... did Madonna make her first record? a)in the seventies b)in the eighties etc. "Are the answers about a place?" (no) "Are they about time/date?" (yes) "What do we use to ask about time?" (when) *note on WB (5).... were the Beatles together? a) for 5 years b) for 10 years etc. "Is it about a time period?" (yes) "Are they dates?" (no) (if necessary, draw two lines to signify it's a two word phrase) -- they should understand that filling in the blanks is the point, not knowing which instrument Elton John plays...

HO: sentence jumble PW: In pairs, students will complete the sentence jumble. Certain phrases have been grouped together to alleviate possible confusion.
