5. PRESENTA TION
Aim: To introduce people last birthday celebrations .
To recognize the structure:
- “What did + (Pronoun) + (Verb in Infinitive)…?”
- “Pronoun + (Verb in Simple Past Tense) + Description”
To recognize people past experiences of their birthday celebrations.
During the Presentation stage, I will introduce a presentation a prepared in
“Genially”, in which students will visualize the photos that people from the
video shared about their last birthday celebrations. During the presentation,
students will have to analyze the photos carefully, because each photo will
have a question about a specific feature connected to the birthday
celebrations. Each question will have three different possible answers, and
students will have to select the right answer according to what they observe
on each photo. They can provide just one answer per photo.
In addition, they will have to provide full answers.
