1st Grade of High School

Date of the lessons: May 25th – 26th, 2010.

This week the students prepared a dialog about being a good citizen putting into practice the simple past and the past continuous tenses. This dialog was first delivered as a written task in order to check the grammar and eloquence of the dialog. I check their dialogs and I gave them back to the students the next day for them to correct the mistakes and present their dialogs orally next Tuesday. After having delivered their dialogs they did a listening activity which included some pre, while and post listening exercises. Then I introduced to them the use of the conjunctions so and because and they did some exercises I created for them in order to check their understanding. Finally they worked on their workbooks doing activities about the use of so and because.
