We missed PJ yesterday - and Irene too. And Luis, even though he didn't have PJ with him.

I enjoy the lesson and I hope students did too.

We started to plan our project for the group and students got together in groups and wrote questions for the interviews. Then we were thinking about different roles students can play when being interviewed. So far we have 3 university students, a married couple, a policeman, Anything else? Was it a grandfather? I am sure students remember the roles they are going to play.

After that, we completed the worksheet about the weather. This time students had to ask a classmate about the temperature in various cities from Europe.

Students learned the words degree, and below. We say: It is 25 degrees. or 25º Only in Iceland the temperature was  - 10  or 10 below.

We also practiced dates and the past of the verb to be. Students still find it difficult to say What was the weather like last Sunday? instead of  What is the weather like last Sunday?

We also practiced was/were with other kind of questions, like: Where were you last summer? Where was brother yesterday? Were you in the park yesterday?

Remember! The short answer to the last question is: Yes, I was, or No, I wasn't.

HOMEWORK

Students who came to class need to prepare their character.

You have to choose:

A name, 
a surname, 
Age
Where they live.
If they are married.
Students: what they are studying, name of their university, where (city) is their university.
Where they are from.
What is their favorite color.
Have they got a pet? What's its name and how old is it?
Have they got brothers or sisters?
Married people:  Have they got children? What are their names and how old are they?

Irene and Luis must decide what they want to be for the interviews: Children? Young people? Old people? Brother and sister?  Then you can plan your character too.

Check this video: it is the kind o video we are planning to make.
