TP 7 - Vocabulary - Reporting Verbs
B2 level

Description

In this lesson, students learn about reporting verbs through guided discovery based on 3 short reading texts. The lesson starts with reading three dialogues and discussing who the dialogues belong to. This is followed by reading for gist and matching the dialogues to the texts. Students then fill the gaps in the texts using the vocabulary provided by the teacher. Finally, there is a controlled practice through sentence reformation and a freer speaking practise by jigsaw story telling.
