Your week in seven words

This is a good warm up exercise to get students thinking in English at the beginning of a lesson.

Lesson plan

1 Write up seven words on the board that give a taste of what your week was like.

E.g.

spring
Borat
accident
pass
photographs
Cyprus
CV

2 Now ask students to speculate on what you did during the week.

3 Ask them to write down questions using the question words;

who
what
where
when
why

E.g. What did you pass?

Why did you see Borat?

4 Now answer their questions.

5 Now students follow the same procedure in pairs.
