We also asked them to tell us when they had their car stolen.

Controlled Practice (3-4 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Go over answers with students and give feedback.

Free Practice (8-9 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Divide the class into two groups A and B. Have students read through their text and prepare their questions. They will need to make questions using the structures we learned to find out the missing information from their partner. Give students 3 minutes write questions to ask to their partner. Put students into pairs or trios (if there is an odd number of students.) give students 4 minutes to ask each other their questions. Listen for correct and incorrect sentence structure and do DEC after the 4 minutes are up.
