Procedure (43-49 minutes)
- T shows the Ss 3 different pictures on slide 2 – the pictures are of me doing 3 hobbies, things that I like - Taking pictures - Eating sushi - Going running - Script: Here are some things that I like to do. I like taking photos, particularly when I travel to new places. I also like to eat sushi – at the moment not in a restaurant! In the UK I go running, in Merida it’s too hot for me! - T introduces the activity and then puts Ss in b/o rooms to discuss what they like to do - Instructions: It’s your turn. I will open the breakout rooms for 3 minutes. Discuss with your partner what you like to do. - T asks for feedback in the main zoom room using the questions ‘What do you like to do?’
- T shows Ss the 6 pictures on slide 3 - Ss have 1 minute to look at the pictures and think about what activities they can see - Instructions: Here are 6 normal activities, you have 1 minute to think about what activities you can see here on the screen. - 1 by 1 T checks Ss ideas using the chat - Instructions: Picture number 1, using the chat, what activity do you think this is? - T shows Ss the correct answers on the PowerPoint slide and checks understanding
- T shows Ss slide 4 and asks What are these sentences? - Ss have 1 minute to look at the options and write their answers in the chat. - T shows Ss slide 4 and asks Are these questions asking about a past, present or future habit? - Using slides 6,7 and 8, T elicits answers from Ss: What is the positive answer of Do you go swimming? What is the negative answer of Do you go swimming?
- T focuses on meaning: in English we need an auxiliary verb when we ask questions, not like in Spanish! The auxiliary verb is do. To ask a yes/no question, we say do you + the activity using the base form of the verb. - T shows linking between do and you: We don’t say do you, we say duyoo - In slide 10, T asks Ss what is the correct pronunciation – they give answers in chat - T works through the other examples on slide 10, each time asking where is the stress in the sentences. T marks the stress each time.
- T shows Ss slide 9. Ss will practise the new questions together for a few minutes in b/o rooms. - Instructions: I will put you in breakout rooms. With your partner, ask the questions and write down if they say ‘yes, I do’ or ‘no, I don’t’. - T conducts example with Ss before opening b/o rooms. - T brings Ss back to the main room and asks some questions such as ‘A, does B go swimming?’ - If time, Ss can do the same activity with a different partner. - If there is a group of 3, Ss must be clear by saying the name of the person they ask.
- T conducts DEC to summarise ideas and follow up on the productive stage. - Note on the screen, one or two sentences for Ss to correct themselves.
- T shows Ss new activities on slide 10. Ss will work together in pairs to decide on a new activity and practise asking the yes/no questions together. - Instructions: Here are some new activities. Work with your partner. Ask some questions with new activities and answer with ‘yes, I do’ or ‘no, I don’t. - T conducts an example with Ss before opening b/o rooms.
