10mins - Conversation: Do you dream often? What kind of dreams do you have? Do you typically remember your dreams? If so, describe a memorable dream in details. If not, discuss the types of things other people might dream about. Do you ever daydream? What things do you think about? Why do you think we dream?

*Tips:
- Decide what kind of word the keyword is (noun, preposition, etc.)
- Think about whether you need to make a grammatical change (from active or passive) or a vocabulary change (using a phrasal verb or a linking expression).
- Check whether you need to change a noun to an adjective or an affirmative to a negative.
05mins - Skill Practice: Write example sentences on the whiteboard. Have students re-write these sentences, making sure the new sentence retains the same meaning.
