Teacher Guide
Write out the most commonly used question words and discuss what information they are looking for. For example, a question with 'Who...?' will be answered with a person. A question with 'Where....?' will be answered with a place. And so on.
Use often in the lessons 'Are you...?', 'Do you....?' and 'Have you got....?' and guide the students with how to answer with complete sentences 'I am...', 'I do....' and 'I have got...', so they become familiar with the pairings of questions and answers about themselves.
Teach them the phrase 'I would like...' and in the question form 'Would you like...?'.
For each question on the worksheet read it out loud slowly and clearly. Emphasise the important question word and underline it. Then read out each answer and have the students choose which sounds most natural to them. Show them why one is correct and then have them read the question and answer out loud again.
10mins - Introduction: What is your address? When is your birthday? What time does class begin? When do you eat breakfast? When do we have English class? Ask students a variety of questions to practice the prepositions at, on and in.
- Remind the students: 'in' is the most general, 'on' is more specific and 'at' is the most specific. 'The film is at 9 pm. The film is on Tuesday. The film is in Rome.'
05mins - Review the online homework. What topics were discussed? Was the homework easy, medium or difficult? Answer any questions the students may have.
15mins - Game: Preposition showdown: Split the class into two teams. The first member of each team will be shown a flashcard. The student who guesses the correct preposition first wins a point for their team. The students go to the end of the line, and the next two students face off. After, ask students to write a few sentences using some of the prepositions from the game.
