WH questions 

On this powerpoint presentation, the students had been already introduced the past simple and how to tell a date.  Therefore, these slides are useful in the way that the teacher can encourage learners to provide the use of prepositions of time and place such as in, on and at when referring to a point, period or year in time. This presentation can also help Ss to improve their fluency and pronunciation.



I applied it to my learners and they found it great.

Discoveries and Inventions that changed the world.

This is a PPT presentation that allows your students to train asking and answering questions with the use of 'can'. 



The following verbs are used:

jump

run

swim

drive

bite

read 

fly 

sing



The pictures are as follows:

a snake

a bear

a cat

a crocodile

a dog

an elephant

a horse

your teacher



Procedure:

You click on the bird and the roulette starts to move. When it stops, students are to make sentences with can or can't.

E.g. - Can horses fly? - No, they can't. 

Depending on the group, you can ask them to work in or ask questions yourself and elicit answers.



NOTE: There will be only 8 possible combinations but you can move the bird so it will show a different section of the roulette. It is also possible to mirror the picture with the bird and put it in the opposite corner of the slide. OR you can just let the students choose the sections themselves.  

What can they do? Roulette

I really love when my students speak. This time I prepared controversial questions for discussion. They will help the students tell their opinions and argue with their opponents.

Question words 

This PPT is designed as a speaking activity. 

HOW TO USE IT: Divide the class into groups. Groups take turns to break down a wall (brick by brick) to reveal the action. When enough bricks are removed, groups can try to guess the action. To check students' answers, click the check button and the whole picture is revealed (the wall simple crumbles). Assign points to groups for any correct answer. As this is intended for students to speak, the teacher should decide when to reveal the pictures (so let students guess freely).
