COMMUNICATION OF KNOWLEDGE (PRESENTATION)

The teacher initiates a conversation with the students asking them some
questions as:
 “What’s your favourite school day?”
 “What day of the week is today?”
 ”What day of the week was yesterday?”
 ”What day of the week will be tomorrow?”
 ”What is the first (the second, the seventh…) day of the week?”

The T divides the class into four groups & gives each group a set of worksheets
with sentences & pictures that they have to match correctly. (Ex. On Monday I get
up. = the picture that illustrates this action…). They have 3 minutes to do it. The team
that finishes first & matches correctly all the sentences with the pictures is the
winner. Then the pupils read the sentences & show the pictures. After that the
teacher asks questions as: ”When does read, play etc.? ( 2 minutes) (Annex 3)

The T proposes to do exercise 4, page 57. The pupils play the game: Odd-Man-
Out. In pairs the pupils will have to identify which of the following words doesn’t
belong. They will be asked to state their reason (5 minutes).After the pairs will
