METHODOLOGY II




COMMUNITY LANGUAGE TEACHING
For this principle we chose an activity that would make students feel a sense of community ,asking them to tell  class what will they do with their lifes with a huge amount of money,as well as letting students express their deepest wishes and the possibility to make them come true.

GRAMMAR ACTIVITY

USING 2nd CONDITIONAL, DESCRIBE WHAT YOU WILL DO IN THE FUTURE IF YOU WIN THE LOTTO .

Exercises-In pairs of 2 ask each other this question and then tell class what your partners future plans are.
Example: what would you do?

-If I win the lotto, I would visit my Grandparents in Canada


2. Use these verbs and transform them into future phrases using the 2nd conditional.
Ex:

1. Study – If I win the lotto, I would study art.

2. Buy - If I win the lotto, I would buy a Porshe

3. Travel - If I win the lotto, I would travel to mars.
