Thank you so much, Sara for your video. It's a nice song with nice cartoons.
Next Friday is Halloween and you guys are so lucky you don't have to go to school.
Last week we started a new unit and I think it's a bit easier than the one before. It's about free time activities. Most students already knew many of the words.
We practiced tow kinds of questions:
What do you like doing? Answer: I like playing the guitar.
What do you do in your free time? Answer In my free time I read books and I watch TV.
We studied things we can collect: stamps, trading cards, magnets, coins...
Things we can play: chess, cards, the piano, the guitar, the violin, basketball.
Things we can read: books, magazines, comics.
Homework
Ask 3 people those 2 questions and write down their answers in English.
Example: I ask my friend Jennifer:
What do you like doing? And she answers: I like going to concerts.
And what do you do in your free time? And she answers: I listen to music, I go running, I watch movies and I go to museums.
That is easy, isn't it?
See you Thur!sday

Last Thursday we were working with the future: going to + verb, which students seem to find a little difficult. Here is a chart of how to use it in positive, negative and questions:
Students had to read a plan for next weekend and then had to get together with a partner who had a different plan and they had to ask each other questions about it. It was a good practice.
Later we listened to a conversation between a boy and a girl who were looking at photos of their families. We read the conversation a few times and students role played it. They did a very good job.
We are looking for a project for the term so we listened to a song. Unfortunately, apart from the chorus, the rest of the lyrics were very difficult to understand so we'll have to look for something else.
By now, most students know how to talk about their family members, including aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and cousins, so next week we are going to start a new unit.
Homework
Go to the following link and complete the exercises: 1,4,6,7 and 8.http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/tests/future-1-going-to-1. Do it in your notebook.
| positive | negative | question | |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | I am going to speak. | I am not going to speak. | Am I going to speak? |
| you / we / they | You are going to speak. | You are not going to speak. | Are you going to speak? |
| he / she / it | He is going to speak. | He is not going to speak. | Is he going to speak? |

Hello,
I hope everybody is able to log on.
In our last lesson, besides practicing a little more what we had done in the previous classes, family members and the possessive, we studied the verb form I am going to + verb. We use this form of the verb when wor e talk about our plans for the the future.
Students got together with a partner and ask each other questions like this:
What is your brother going to do next weekend?
Their partner answered for instance:
My brother is going to take his driving test next weekend.
Later we worked all together as a group asking somebody's partner this type of question:
What's Mario's brother going to do next weekend?
Answer:
Mario's brother is going to take his driving test.
This was a difficult exercise because the questions are complicated and very long, but students did an excellent job.
I must say that some of the students had difficulty knowing what to say after going to. Not always, sometime it was clear as in sentences like I am going to cook They find it confusing when, after I am going to, they have to use the verb go or do as in I am going to go to Paris or I am going to do my homework.
At the end of the lesson we played a board game on the topic Family.
Homework
Ask 5 people you know (family, friends, classmates).
What are you going to do tomorrow afternoon? And Friday morning?
Then, write sentences for each one:
Ex. My classmate Elena is going to go swimming tomorrow afternoon and Friday morning she is going to go to school.
I hope everybody is able to log on.

Hello!
In our last lesson we had a new student, Laura. Laura is not new to the school, but she is new to the group. She was introduced to the other students and the other students were introduced to her. They all said nice to meet you.
It was nice to see the pictures of your families and meet your brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents and other family members.
Most students had done their homework and read their sentences about their family members using the possessive. Good job!
And that is what we were practicing for the most part of the class: the possessive. We were looking at some pictures of a family and answering questions like: Who is Nina? Ex. Nina is Bill's wife, or She is Peter's mother. For the Olympic games we made two teams and students had to ask the other team the same type of questions.
Later we listened to a recording and students had to complete an exercise choosing the correct answer to match what they had heard.
Finally students worked on their family tree ( which was difficult to fit in the page).
HOMEWORK
Watch the following video.http://www.manythings.org/b/e/3804/ Then, draw their family tree.
And just 1 question. Who does Sarah play with?
