Teacher’s activities

Students’ activities

I. Warm up (5'):

Introduction

Ss have already learned reported speech in English 8. Tell s that this is a review section. T may help Ss recall these forms and have them give examples. Their sentences should stick to the topic of this unit.

- Ss retell the form of reported speech

II. Grammar (15')

Reported speech: review

1.Read the conversation in Getting started... (P29)

- Remind Ss of what the conversation in GETTING STARTED is about. Ss then work in pairs to complete the task.

- If needed, give Ss a quick review of reported speech ( e.g. verb tense, pronouns, time expressions, etc. )

- Divide the class into side A and side B. Side A will say some sentences in direct speech for side B to change into indirect speech. Then side B says some sentences in indirect speech for side A to change into direct speech.

2. Rewrite the following sentences in reported speech (P29)

- Have Ss work individually to complete this exercise

- Then they compare their answers in pairs before T gives corrective feedback as a whole class.

III. Question words before to-infinitive(10’)

- Tell Ss that the question words who, what, where, when, and how can be used before a to-infinitive to express a situation that it is difficult or uncertain. Give examples. Explain the Look out!box.

- Highlight the verbs ask, wonder, ( not ) be sure, have no idea, ( not ) know, ( not ) decide, (not) tell which are often used before the question word + to-infintive.

3. Rewrite the sentences using questions... (p30)

- Have Ss do the first sentence with the class as an example.

- Ss then work individually to rewrite the sentences before receiving correction from T.

Reported questions with question words before to - infinitive.

Question words before to-infinitives can be used to report questions about something that should be done.

- Example: :What should I do?” she said

     She wondered what to go.

Look out!

To report Yes/No questions we use whether before to-infinitive. Remember if cannot be used in this case.

Example:

      ‘Should I tell my parents what I really think?” she wondered.

=> She wondered whether to tell her parents what she really thought.

4. Rewrite the following questions in reported speech.. (p30)

- Have Ss work in pairs to complete this exercise.

- Remind them they can choose from the verbs ask, wonder, (not) be sure, (not) know, (not) decide, (not) tell to report these questions

5. Game

- First, ask the whole class to agree on five questions they would like to ask about you. Write them on the board.

- Prepare two different versions of answers to these five questions. ( the more contradictory the two versions are, the more fun the game will be !) Write each version on a separate piece of paper so that you do not forget them.

- Then divide the class into two groups.

- Tell Ss that one group will stay inside the classroom and the other outside. Each group will listen to you for the answers to the questions and the group will then have to report to the other group what they have heard from you.

- When the two groups have been separated cannot hear each other, go to each group and tell them one version of the answers. Ask them to remember what you say.

- Finally, ask the two groups to gather again inside the classroom. Now ask them to answer the five questions written on the board according to the information they have received by reporting what you have told them.

- Ss work in pairs to complete the task

1.Key:

Mai: ‘I’m too tired and don’t want to go out.’

The question word why cannot be used before a to-infinitive.
