Hi Swim Finn Thanks for uploading your week 3 materials. You’ve chosen a good topic because everybody can talk about abilities and this language is important to learn.
Nice warmer – great photos. Uusally we teach ‘I can …’ before we teach ‘Can you …?’ I don’t think it matters that you have it the other way around but I think it would help if you had a modelo n the page as an example. E.g. Can you swim? Yes,I can. / No, I can’t.
Be consistent with punctuation (look at the instructions in 1. And 2.)
Ex 2. Nice!
Ex. 3 Here you teach how to form the question explicitly – but students were forming the question in Ex. 1. I’m not sure this matters – but you might like to rethink your approach to Ex 1. E.g. Tell a partner which of tehse things you can or can’t do. Ex 3 is a good task to get studnets speaking and practising the language. In the table – I’d change the first column a bit and instead of My partner can / can’t draw a square and a circle at the same time. Just have Draw a square and a circle at the same time. You already have the Yes/No column so the extra bit is not necessary. OR You could eliminate the Yes/No column and just circle can or can’t.
Really great statememts – motivating and fun.
Pron section and Reading section are great. I also like the wrap up. I particularly like the way you finish off with this short self-reflection task. Well done! (I think this is the frst time I’ve seen it on this course).
