Week 13: December 12th, 2018- More mysteries

underworld-empire.fandom.com

- (Sorry about the delay posting the entry)
- We revised how to use modals with the speculation we did on Banksy last day.
- We went through the old unrevised photocopy of past forms that we had wanted to do a long time ago. We discussed some uses and revised the use of past perfect.
- We practised more hypothesis with modals with a mystery theft of a diamond. We used modals to speculate with all the cards we got in the game and we knew who the thief had been in the end.
- We saw the beginning of a very difficult video on mysteries in houses.

Homework:
- Pick up a mystery from these links and read a little bit about it to tell a classmate for about three or four minutes at the beginning of next class.

Week 12: December 5th, 2018- Art and mystery

Banksy

- We warmed up by describing and exchanging the information about the work of art we had chosen. We tried to use some of the art vocabulary we had on a handout.
- Students received in handouts some of the vocabulary we had practised in previous lessons: humour, stories and Halloween.
- Students received written feedback on the productions they had sent.
- We discussed a little bit the art of a small girl, Aelita Andre.
- We saw a video about the auction of Girl with Balloon, by Banksy, and completed an exercise with gaps.
- We saw the beginning of a video about the mystery of Banksy and discussed hypothesis about him on a handout.
- Before that, we had revised and practised modal verbs to make hypothesis, such as may/might/could/can't and their past versions.

Homework:
I forgot to set you some homework!! But next day, we're finally correcting the handout on past forms and you can still send me the recordings of your film reviews or any review from library loans to enter the promotion to get a prize if you do two!! Examples of reviews in the last two blog entries!
