the dialogue with their partner, and then switch roles.

After working together, choose volunteers to perform their version of the dialogue for the class.

Extension: Have more advanced pupils customize the dialogue using their own words to replace the
bolded words.
Out of the Box
•
Have pupils follow the instructions to complete the Out of the Box project.
•
Have pupils use the dialogue on page 153 of the Couse Book to practice asking for and giving
directions to nearby places. Have pupils follow the structure of the dialogues to write directions to
places near the classroom (e.g., the school gates, the animal corner, or the art room), or (if possible),
places nearby in town (e.g., a bus stop, the store, a pupil9s house, or the park). Have pupils work in
groups to test out the instructions by walking to the places.
•
Have pupils video record their dialogues, having one partner ask for directions and the other giving
the directions. Have pupils record themselves walking to the destinations to show that the
instructions are accurate.
•
Show or share some of the videos with the rest of the class.

Tell pupils that in English we begin a question with To be (Am/Is/Are) (Use L1 if needed).
Introduce the Present Progressive (questions).

Review the Present Progressive positive form by pointing to the picture and saying: She is calling
a taxi. Then, ask: Is she calling a taxi?
Explain that in order to make a question, the to be verb (am, is, are) is said in the beginning of the
sentence. The subject then follows, and then the main verb+ing. Use L1 if needed.
Show how this is different from a positive Present Progressive sentence by giving the examples:
You are calling a taxi.
Are you calling a taxi?
•
Give example sentences for each pronoun: Am I calling a taxi?, Are you calling a taxi? Is he calling a
