oral activity: speaking bag

Dear students,

This term we are going to enjoy with an oral activity called “speaking bag”. Bring to class a special object for you, show it to your peers and tell us about it, what it means for you, what it reminds you of, why it is important for you.

We will bring the object inside a paper bag provided by the teacher and pass it to a partner once you have finished.

To avoid forgetting about your presentation, please, once you have done it in class, write a short summary on the blog.

Thanks to all of you again and keep talking!….. in English!

You’re doing a great job!
