How to use
The aim of these activities is to practice asking questions and draw students' attention to correct spelling. The set contains activities on Present Simple - everyday activities and hobbies, Past simple - last weekend, last holiday and last year activities. All the activities are based on the idea of information gap in which students need to find the missing information from their partner. The exercises are designed so that the students had to ask a variety of questions, not only the basic ones.
PAIR-WORK ACTIVITY - ask ss to look at the ideas presented and the missing information. Ask them to prepare all the questions before they start the activity. Review briefly if they are correct. Tell them to ask their partner / friend to answer their questions. The other person does the same. When they have finished, click check to see if they are correct. If some of the answers are wrong, they can give ss the opportunity to practice extra questions such as, 'Can you repeat what they did ...?' or 'How do you spell that?'
CLASS ACTIVITY - show version A of the activity to the class. Tell the ss to prepare the questions to the missing information. Ask them one by one and give them the missing info filling in the blanks. Ask ss to come to the board and write them in.
EXTRA PRACTICE - at the end of each activity, ask ss to write the full texts with all the information they gathered.
