In this class, T Mariana started the lesson with a warm-up activity. She gave Ss on piece of paper (green or blue). So the ss who has green form a group and the blue one form the other group. Everybody stood up, took turns to go to the front and guess the word that their classmates had to mimic. T wrote the word in the board. Ss who guessed correctly won points for their group, The words were related to places.the group color blue won the game. 

Moreover, T Nicole presented the new grammar structure “Direct Speech”. She explained the topic while she was pasting flashcards with the most important information about it. She gave examples using phrases and pictures. Then, she asked if we had any doubt, but everything was almost clear.

It was time to practice and T Roxana gave Ss a piece of paper where they had to ask their pair about their hobbies and something they would like to do in the future. They had to answer the questions using the structure of Direct speech in present. Then, Ss stood up and shared their answers with other classmates. Also, T Roxana asked one pair to read their answers out loud.

In the production, T Juan Jose gave ss different situations. They had 5 minutes to practice. To select the pairs who performed the roleplay, he wrote a number in his hand and asked Ss to say a number from one to five. The pairs who says the number he wrote performed the roleplay. There were three pairs who passed in front of the class.

At the end, T Mariana did the pass the ball activity. While Ss passed the ball, T was counting until 10 and the ss who had it took a paper from a box. The paper had a question or a statement and the student had to change it into direct speech using what they learn. Using this activity T Mariana could check new knowledge from their Ss.
